Someone's
|
emailed
|
us
|
asking
|
which
|
country's
|
shape
|
is
|
most
|
like
|
a
|
square
|
What
|
a
|
stupid
|
question
|
Totally
|
pointless
|
Slovakia?
|
No
|
Georgia?
|
No
|
Bangladesh?
|
No,
|
Bangladesh
|
looks
|
like
|
a
|
wizard
|
You
|
think
|
everything
|
looks
|
like
|
a
|
wizard
|
Hm..
|
Ghana?
|
Too
|
long
|
North
|
Macedonia?
|
Too
|
round
|
Liberia?
|
No
|
Malaysia?
|
Jay,
|
Malaysia
|
is
|
not
|
a
|
square
|
But
|
there
|
must
|
be
|
one
|
somewhere
|
Not
|
in
|
Oman
|
or
|
UAE
|
And
|
Yemen's
|
more
|
a
|
rectangle
|
yes,
|
I
|
can
|
see
|
Russia's
|
nothing
|
like
|
a
|
square
|
Too
|
long
|
as
|
far
|
as
|
I'm
|
aware
|
Mali
|
starts
|
off
|
strongly
|
But
|
right
|
here
|
it
|
goes
|
to
|
pot
|
Burkina
|
Faso
|
is
|
irregular
|
Four-sided
|
it
|
is
|
not
|
hmm
|
Italy's
|
a
|
boot
|
And
|
so
|
is
|
Papua
|
New
|
Guinea
|
What
|
about
|
Benin
|
and
|
Togo?
|
No,
|
they're
|
both
|
far
|
too
|
skinny
|
What
|
about
|
these
|
little
|
Countries,
|
Costa
|
Rica,
|
Lebanon?
|
There's
|
no
|
square
|
in
|
Singapore,
|
Brunei,
|
Mauritius,
|
or
|
Gabon
|
Kuwait
|
looks
|
like
|
a
|
little
|
thumb
|
Madagascar
|
looks
|
quite
|
lean
|
Burundi
|
looks
|
quite
|
like
|
a
|
heart
|
Qatar
|
looks
|
like
|
a
|
bean
|
|
Lyrics
|
India's
|
a
|
diamond
|
and
|
Slovenia's
|
a
|
splot
|
Cuba's
|
very
|
long
|
and
|
thin
|
and
|
both
|
Koreas
|
are
|
short
|
and
|
squat
|
Mozambique
|
has
|
got
|
too
|
many
|
sides
|
Uzbekistan
|
as
|
well
|
Little
|
Paraguay's
|
no
|
paradigm
|
Mauritania's
|
an
|
L
|
And
|
Malawi's
|
like
|
a
|
seahorse
|
Guinea-Bissau's
|
a
|
weathered
|
rock
|
And
|
Nauru's
|
nearly
|
a
|
circle
|
And
|
Somalia's
|
a
|
sock
|
France
|
is
|
famously
|
a
|
hexagon
|
That
|
fact
|
is
|
quite
|
well
|
known
|
But
|
it's
|
not
|
the
|
only
|
one
|
It's
|
joined
|
by
|
Sierra
|
Leone
|
What
|
about
|
these
|
landlocked
|
countries
|
like
|
Nepal
|
or
|
South
|
Sudan?
|
They're
|
not
|
square
|
and
|
nor
|
Are
|
Denmark,
|
Finland,
|
China,
|
or
|
Iran
|
Luxembourgers
|
are
|
all
|
squares
|
which
|
Their
|
borders
|
don't
|
reflect
|
And
|
Australia's
|
a
|
cat
|
dog
|
And
|
Japan
|
we
|
must
|
reject
|
Guatemala
|
has
|
two
|
squarish
|
sides
|
in
|
This
|
bit
|
in
|
the
|
north
|
But
|
it
|
won't
|
meet
|
our
|
criteria
|
'cause
|
It
|
needs
|
a
|
third
|
and
|
fourth
|
Timor
|
Leste?
|
Doesn't
|
pass
|
the
|
test
|
Moldova?
|
Guinea?
|
Don't
|
be
|
silly
|
Little
|
Rwanda?
|
Doesn't
|
stand
|
a
|
hope
|
in
|
hell
|
Nor
|
does
|
Israel
|
Are
|
we
|
seriously
|
|
Lyrics
|
going
|
to
|
Go
|
through
|
every
|
country?
|
Yes,
|
I
|
think
|
it's
|
important
|
Both
|
the
|
USA
|
and
|
Canada
|
have
|
Squares
|
in
|
large
|
amounts
|
But
|
we're
|
only
|
counting
|
countries
|
And
|
states
|
don't
|
count
|
Poland
|
would
|
look
|
like
|
a
|
square
|
if
|
It
|
invaded
|
to
|
the
|
south
|
Kazakhstan
|
looks
|
like
|
a
|
turtle
|
with
|
a
|
Leaf
|
stuck
|
in
|
it's
|
mouth
|
Despite
|
a
|
square's
|
efficiency
|
The
|
Germans
|
don't
|
come
|
close
|
And
|
Peru
|
is
|
like
|
a
|
resting
|
dog
|
Guyana's
|
like
|
a
|
ghost
|
Ethiopia
|
and
|
Switzerland
|
look
|
Like
|
potato
|
wedges
|
Norway,
|
Sweden
|
And
|
New
|
Zealand
|
all
|
have
|
Far
|
too
|
crinkly
|
edges
|
If
|
you
|
have
|
a
|
lot
|
of
|
coastline
|
then
|
Your
|
sides
|
will
|
not
|
be
|
straight
|
So
|
the
|
squareness
|
of
|
the
|
Philippines,
|
Greece
|
And
|
Ireland
|
won't
|
be
|
great
|
Tajikistan's
|
quite
|
funky
|
As
|
is
|
elephant
|
head-shaped
|
Thailand
|
There's
|
no
|
square
|
in
|
Indonesia's
|
eighteen
|
thousand
|
tiny
|
islands
|
If
|
your
|
country's
|
made
|
of
|
islands
|
Then
|
a
|
square
|
you'll
|
never
|
be
|
There
|
are
|
loads
|
of
|
island
|
nations
|
That
|
are
|
mostly
|
empty
|
sea:
|
Trinidad
|
and
|
Tobago,
|
Saint
|
Vincent
|
and
|
|
Lyrics
|
The

Grenadines,
|
the

Solomon

Islands
|
The

Seychelles
|
The

Maldives,

Micronesia,

Fiji
|
The

Marshall

Saint

|
São

and

Príncipe,

the

Bahamas,

Cape
|
Verde,

Tonga,

Vanuatu!
|
The
|
Netherlands
|
is
|
flat
|
although
|
it's
|
Edges
|
do
|
not
|
fit
|
And
|
the
|
following
|
are
|
countries
|
With
|
a
|
sticky-outy
|
bit:
|
There's
|
Afghanistan,
|
Namibia
|
The
|
DRC's
|
got
|
two
|
There's
|
Ukraine,
|
Venezuela,
|
Eritrea
|
Cyprus
|
and
|
Kosovo!
|
Is
|
Morocco
|
square?
|
No,
|
it's
|
more
|
a
|
stair
|
Kiribati?
|
Not
|
square,
|
alas
|
Senegal?
|
Not
|
square
|
at
|
all
|
San
|
Marino?
|
San
|
Mari
|
no
|
The
|
CAR
|
so
|
near,
|
so
|
far
|
Botswana's
|
like
|
a

flounder
|
Chad
|
looks
|
like
|
Jay
|
Leno
|
Eswatini
|
couldn't
|
be
|
rounder
|
Mongolia
|
looks
|
like
|
a

bat
|
The
|
Congo's
|
kind
|
of
|
foxy
|
Myanmar's
|
like
|
a
|
genie
|
and
|
Not
|
even
|
slightly
|
boxy
|
Belize
|
has
|
one
|
edge
|
here
|
that's
|
straight
|
But
|
this
|
bit's
|
rather
|
lumpy
|
Algeria
|
and
|
Kenya
|
are
|
pentagons
|
Honduras
|
is
|
too
|
bumpy
|
Sri
|
Lanka's
|
like
|
a
|
raindrop
|
Kyrgyzstan's
|
a
|
bird
|
in
|
flight
|
While
|
Iraq
|
and
|
Jordan's
|
lines
|
are
|
straight
|
The
|
angles
|
just
|
aren't
|
right
|
|
Lyrics
|
Colombia's
|
kind
|
of
|
squarish
|
though
|
it's
|
Borders
|
are
|
quite
|
rough
|
And
|
Iberia
|
would
|
pass
|
but
|
Spain
|
Alone's
|
not
|
square
|
enough
|
If
|
Bolivia
|
expanded
|
Then
|
a
|
square
|
it
|
just
|
might
|
be
|
Nicaragua
|
would
|
look
|
square
|
if
|
you
|
Viewed
|
it
|
in
|
3D
|
Little
|
Liechtenstein
|
and
|
the
|
Argentines
|
are
|
Not
|
square
|
in
|
the
|
least
|
The
|
Dominican

Republic
|
That
|
just
|
tapers
|
to

the

east
|
Lesotho's

of

squarish

the

chicken

huge

Mexico?
|
No,
|
no,

no,

no
|
Portugal?
|
Too
|
thin,

too

tall

The

Saudis?

Too

much

on

a

The

Vati-can't

Listing
|
every

country
|
by

it's

shape
|
Is
|
not

an

easy
|
job
|
When

inevitably
|
loads
|
of
|
them
|
look
|
Only
|
like

a

blob
|
So
|
to

make

things

more

efficient
|
As

I'm

sure

you've

got

the

gist

Here

are

all

the

blobby

countries

In

a

Samoa's

whose

Wings

have

been

But

add
|
Ecuador

Bahrain

And

it's

massively

improved

Little

Monaco's

so

tiny

you

can

See

the

very,

very

Long

thin

Uganda

cannot

a

Of

all

the

|
the

Vietnam

And

Panama
|
all

Haiti,

Croatia

And

Zambia

all

have

shapes

that

wrap

around

Syria's
|
just
|
a

bit
|
too
|
slopey
|
And
|
El

Salvador's
|
too
|
long
|
That

doesn't

rhyme!

Palau

looks

Pakistan

looks

Greenland's

a

Though

it's

really

big

The

Bulgaria's

knobbly

Brazil

Turkey

is

|
Now
|
the

only

countries
|
left

are

ones

Whose

squareness

are

the

If

Montenegro's

Sudan

square

The

angles

in

Angola

mean

it's

Nearly

good

to

go

and

Nigeria

comes

close
|
Although
|
it

bulges

down

below
|
Libya
|
is
|
nearly
|
square
|
It's

more

a

parallelogram

And

Cote

and

Suriname
|
do

Well
|
in
|
our

exam
|
Equatorial
|
Guinea's
|
very
|
square
|
But
|
unfortunately
|
Since
|
it's
|
capital's
|
on
|
an
|
island
|
Then
|
the
|
squarest
|
it
|
can't
|
be
|
So
|
the
|
winner
|
of
|
our
|
contest
|
Fitting
|
all
|
our
|
tight
|
prescriptions
|
It's
|
the
|
squarest
|
of
|
the
|
squarest
|
The

nation
|
of
|
the
|
Pharaohs
|
The
|
land
|
of
|
Cleopatra
|
The

country

where

the

It's

the

of
