Country Connect by Proximity

Start with Canada. Then guess its next closest non-neighbouring not-already-guessed country. Then guess that country's next closest non-neighbouring not-already-guessed country.

List of accepted territories

Denmark - Greenland
France - Corsica, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Reunion
Netherlands - Aruba, Curacao
Russia - Kaliningrad
United Kingdom - Falkland Islands
United States - Alaska, Hawaii

Any country not on this list is considered to have no external territories.

Only includes territories visible on the map. For example, Greenland would count as part of Denmark, but Bermuda wouldn't count because it's not on the map.
Proximity means the shortest distance between two countries (not distance between geographical centres). Distance can be measured over water.

That was a good quiz that made me think and a little harder than I thought it was going to be thanks.

Spain has land border with Morocco - Melila and Ceuta. Morocoo has land border with Mauritania - it is obvious. Western Sahara is internationally recognized part of Morocco.

I've changed the quiz so that Western Sahara is shown on the map. As for Melila and Ceuta, they are not on the accepted territories list.

It'll be more fun if you expand on the accepted territories list, e.g. British Virgin Islands are very close to US Virgin Islands

Great quiz! Surprised that Canada is first and Mexico is last.

Great quiz. But Luxembourg is closer to Switzerland than Slovenia. And Spain/Morocco is not a valid answer either as they share borders (Ceuta/Melilla).

Very nice quiz, I just wish there was more time. Right now it's the same as the normal countries of the world quiz but it does require a lot more thinking and trying.

Fun quiz, but i wish it was 20 minutes rather than 15. I got to 140 which is pretty alright, but i would have liked to get further through the list of countries we all here know.

WOW what a gigantic drop off in the answers list! That was fun, made me think of all the little islands and such.

Awesome quiz, though I had to play it untimed because I really wanted to make it through such a cool concept. I like that there's no 'dead ends', the range in which you're looking just keeps getting bigger
