Russia and Turkey? Should not count. The fact that only 6% guessed it indicates that it is false. Turkey is not Europe. The same with Turkey and Cyprus.

However, we users are so evil, that we always point out what we do not like, but never say anything about what we do like. So I love this closest non bordering countries quiz! Please, keep doing it for other continents, thank you.

Also, how is France-Netherlands not on the list? There’s like 50-60km across the belgian coast. Do you count them as bordering countries because of overseas territories?

How are the Netherlands and UK this close to each other? I don’t see how there can be only 12km between both

Again, in the Caribbean. Anguilla is about 12km from Sint-Maarten.
