Similar to World Countries Border Blitz. Note that some countries considered islands appear because they are linked by bridges, etc. to other countries. Please let me know if you think there are any mistakes, and try to find the fewest number of entries required to make all the countries appear.

The instructions make no sense. For instance, I'm in Denmark - I "can" walk to any other country in mainland Europe from here. I'm sure you, in your mind, see some difference between this and the border quiz that is the same concept, but I don't know what that difference is and the way you've worded the directions right now certainly don't articulate it.

Not to mention, I also "can" walk to any country in mainland Asia as well. Really, every single country that's not an island and is in Europe or Asia should come up when I type any other country that fits the same criteria. If what you mean is countries that you can walk to while only crossing one border, you should say that, but then I don't see the difference between this and the borders quiz, except this allows for a very short list of tunnels and such.

One difference with the borders blitz quiz is that islands are not included. An interesting challenge on that quiz is trying to finish it while entering as few countries as possible, but it becomes tedious to enter all the islands individually. The walking part is also significant: you can take a train from Denmark to Sweden over the Øresund Bridge; Saudi Arabia recently sent tanks into Bahrain across the King Fahd Causeway. The instructions say "Naming a country causes all countries that border it to appear..." I'll admit the title is awkward, but I figured people would figure out how it worked once they started playing. I would be happy to hear alternative title ideas.

Fixed for South Sudan. I believe the fewest number of entries required to finish the quiz is 34; that is, all countries that could physically be walked to from another country could be reached from at least one country out of a set of 34. See if you can finish the quiz using 34 or fewer countries.

This game is completely stupid and ridiculous, It doesn't make any sense seeing as you can walk from Portugal to Malaysia, but it would just take a long time, this quiz couldn't get more stupid. You've been cnyb'ed. Laters.

@11kgm: The Turkish dominated and non-sporcle-accepted Turkish Republic of Cyprus owns the north. You mean the bases in the southeast.

You can bridge it between Singapore and Malaysia, like Sweden/Denmark and Saudi Arabia/Bahrain. Not sure if UK/France works on here because of the channel tunnel...I suppose you could walk it, even though you're not actually allowed!

small note: liechtenstein doesnt work for austria, probably will not matter a lot since austria has a lot of neighbours, but you might want to fix it.

@mccabebabe You can walk from Haiti to the Dominican Republic. That's all the quiz is asking for. Same with Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

Also, Italy doesn't trigger Austria, but Austria triggers Italy. Are you only allowed to walk one way? ;)

I don't see how you can walk between the UK and France. I may be being stupid, but does it have something to do with the Chanel islands?

The fewest number of countries to I've entered to complete the quiz is 37. US, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Haiti, Peru, Brazil get you the entire western hemisphere
