21 Closest Continental Non-Bordering Country Pairs by Geographical Center
Can you find the 21 pairs of non-bordering continental countries that are closest together? Distance is measured between their geographical centers
Data from Portland State University (https://www.pdx.edu/econ/country-geography-data), for missing countries from CIA (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2011.html)
Country A comes before Country B in alphabetical order
