Sarcasm is impossible to detect in written form, unless you are familiar with the other person. For this reason it's not recommended to use it in the internet.

Indonesia actually does have land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia, though... maybe if he had said Australia and New Zealand the sarcasm would have been more easily detectable. Another joke laid waste by a poor sense of geography...

It's better to always just type Congo, because if the other Congo is on the quiz, then that will also be filled in.

That's because of the map projection you are looking at. Some map projections make borders and land area look larger the further away you go from the equator.
