Countries with the Shortest Coastlines

Tough one. Managed to get 11. If I'd had another 30 seconds would have got 15 or 16. Another 2 minutes and maybe would have got them all except maybe Iraq or Bosnia.

I forgot I'd taken this before. Took it again and scored 15 this time, better than last time, though I forgot Gambia and Lithuania which I got the 1st time around, and I got Iraq and Bosnia this time. I think this one's definitely harder than the longest coastlines quiz.

Forgot I had taken this twice and took it a third time. :P This time I got 15 again, though I missed different ones. The only two I've never got were Belgium and Slovenia. Belgium is always a surprise to me. Haha.

Hahaha. Got 17 in my first time!

Thanks all of you for the answers

you're welcome. I managed to get all of them with 22 seconds remaining this time... I remembered taking it before but had forgotten I'd done so poorly.

Yes, Belgium surprises me as well. Interesting fact about the Belgian coastline: the whole length of it is served by a tram line, the longest single tram line in the world. So there.

ahhh!!! I only forgot Dominica

You used someone else's data instead of your own which you said is 'the best data source available'?

The seas help a lot. The only one I missed was Gulf of Aqaba, had no idea where that is.

The Gulf of Aqaba is hard to remember because it is so near to two much more talked about waterways: the Red Sea and Suez Canal.

I didnt know either, but by the name I was 99% sure it was middle east somewhere

What about Bahrain, surely it has a smaller coastline than some of these countries i.e. Lithuania.

Bahrain has many islands with rugged coastlines, so it is longer than it looks

it keeps getting bigger year by year

Got 18, surprising answers for sure!

Apparently I did this quiz before, scored one more this time 17. Never got bosnia, differnent ones missed before

Me (Filipino): Well, my country’s not gonna be here.

Nor mine (Canada)

I'm surprised not many people knew about the Iraq coast line

Missed the one that touches the North Sea :/

I like the idea but I'm afraid I lost interest rather once I realised it was substantially another "think of small island countries" one. Might be more interesting with island nations left out, or at least separated into a separate area.

Try Mainland Countries with the Shortest Coastlines.

Actually, only 9 out of 20 are like that, so your treshold for these things seems a little bit too harsh to me. Plus 7 of those are from the Caribbean, so you can just write down the Caribbean ones at the start and then proceed to the normal, slightly shorter quiz you were looking for.

I was so surprised that Bahrain didn't make the list!

i mean Jetpunk is based on de facto situations and although I want \palestine to be a country, in reality it has no control over its own borders and most of its road and services are Israeli

why is barbados atlantic ocean and not caribbean sea?

What about Singapore?

193 km. Little bigger than one would think and its 100% an island with nooks and crannies

Croatia is so mean :(

Crazy how a country as big as the Congo has such a tiny coastline. Somehow it would be more believable if the entire country were landlocked rather than it being the way it is.
