Wouldn't Nigeria have the longest overlap with Niger?

Well yes, of course it would. Silly of me to not catch that. I wrote a simple python script to find the longest overlap for each country, and for some reason it spat out Germany for Niger. And Dominica should be the DR, not Nicaragua, of course. Guess the script has a bug--not surprising, given how quickly I wrote it.

Okay, fixed Niger, and removed Dominica because DR was already an answer elsewhere on the quiz. Added in a couple others instead. Just need to wait for QM to reapprove.
