World Closest Non-Bordering Countries

Directions

Name the 50 pairs of non-bordering (water borders excluded) countries which have the shortest distance between them (based on closest distance from one country’s land to the other’s). Use country names (some abbreviations accepted) in either order to answer, i.e. ‘ChinaUS’ or ‘USChina’. Countries with a land bridge/causeway between them such as Singapore-Malaysia are counted as bordering so will not appear in this quiz. Dependent territories are included as part of the country of which they are part of, name the country not dependent territory.

I thought you used the same naming practices as sporcle (you can omit “and” and “or”)

But there is a bridge between Sweden and Denmark (sorry for swearing)

I don’t know about that land embankment stuff, but Malaysia Singapore are absolutely not bordering countries just like Sweden and Denmark. Though the opposite is mostly considered with Bahrain and RSA, even though Google Maps say otherwise.

OK but what about DRC and Tanzania? Technically they actually don’t share any land border and they are less than 47.6km apart.

There’s some asymmetries such as “UK Antigua” working but “Antigua UK” not working. Similarly “St Kitts Antigua” doesn’t work while the reverse does. There’s probably more

Also agreed, if bridges don’t count then Denmark/Sweden shouldn’t be here, the Oresund bridge is quite similar to the King Fahd Causeway (which disqualifies Saudi Arabia/Bahrain), it has an artificial island in the middle and all.

“USA-Russia” doesn’t register. Also, if bridges disqualify, then Sweden-Denmark should not be included.

also, Philippines-Malaysia should be included as there are Philippine islands very close to northeast Borneo.
