I always think that South America's and Africa's southern "ends" are closer together latitude-wise than they really are. So in my head Brazil appeared further North to me than some of these African nations. Plus I thought Paraguay and even Bolivia would be further South than Brazil which is probably why I missed it. Guess I usually just look at the big part of Brazil and forget about the rest.

I noticed when I was travelling in Patagonia that the Chileans and Argentinians often seem to refer to things from and places in much of Patagonia with the word 'sur', but for areas around the Strait of Magellan and beyond (Tierra del Fuego, etc) they seem to prefer 'Austral'. Which of course is from the same route as that which gives Australia its name, though as I sit here in the furnace-like heat of a 2020s Australia summer, it doesn't feel like Australia's earning its 'austral' designation, unlike the wind-blasted and frigid subpolar steppes of the Patagonian austral zone. Also we kind of cheat in this quiz, given we only come in third thanks to remote Macquarie Island, which is well over a thousand kilometres from the nearest permanent residence of any Australia, though technically belongs to Tasmania's Huon Valley Council.
