Countries that are N, S, E, and W of Another Country

Name the countries that are further north, south, east, AND west of another country. Basically, draw a box around every country with its northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, and westernmost points as the sides. The countries whose boxes are entirely inside another country's box are the clues. Guess which country surrounds them.
If more than one country surrounds the clue, name either one.
Does not include overseas territories and French overseas departments. Otherwise, things would get crazy.

Amazing quiz! I got them all but with only 5 seconds left. I didn't think there were so many examples.

Thanks! I didn't think there would be so many when I started making it. I kept finding more, and there are a bunch that are really close. I'm still not sure that I've found them all.

Great! I think you should put | instead of comma. Then it will accept JetPunk Type-ins too (like KSA etc.) (for example: Spain | France)

maybe I didn't understand the directions - I got all except Bulgaria, Romania and Kosovo because the box I drew around them contained many countries - none of which was Russia. The box I drew around Bulgaria contained Turkey and Romania among others.

It's not that they surround Russia, but that Russia surrounds them. (Don't forget about Kaliningrad!)

The quiz isn't to guess the countries that are surrounded, but the countries that surround. (The countries that are N, S, E, and W of another country.) You shouldn't find an entire country inside the boxes you drew around Romania, Bulgaria, and Kosovo; they don't surround any countries. Draw a box around Russia and you'll find lots of countries in it!

Really cool quiz! I thought Norway would be another answer for Finland, but it turns out that Finland goes just slightly farther east than Norway

intriguing idea but even after taking the quiz I still don't think I understand what you are looking for??? I got all correct but the three lowest clues so clearly I could answer correctly without even knowing what I was going for which seems to be a problem with the basic set up of the quiz. I wonder if more clear directions would help me. or maybe I am just to dense this morning!!

The answers are countries that are north, south, east, and west of the country in the clue. I've changed the column headings to make that more clear.

All countries are set to automatically accept all Jetpunk type-ins. KSA works for Saudi Arabia.

“Crazy” means every country in the world would be in the boxes of France, UK and US?

So Alaska and Hawai'i are American overseas territories, then? Didn't know that.

The American government doesn't consider them overseas territories, I presume. But then the Americans are known for doing different things than anyone else.

1. The Imperial System.

2. Calling subdivisions states.

3. Being very illiterate for a western nation.

4. Having nearly impossibly unattainable medical insurance. 5. Wanting quarter-pound burgers instead of third-pound burgers and three-ninths burgers instead of third-pound burgers because they like bigger numbers.

And the list is as long as my arm.

I recognize that that does not apply to all Americans. No offense is intended. I was just trying to make a point and be funny.

Alaska and Hawaii are states and, therefore, not considered to be overseas territories on this quiz.

I don't really like how they are included withou the French overseas departments, but I guess it's necessary for the quiz. Could you expand the caveat to apply to all French overseas departments instead of just French Guiana?
