I don't think this one was as fun as some of the others. There were just plain too many countries. And you misspelled "blocked" in the Timor-Leste hint.

@Norwegiansalmon@: I think that may be because this is getting tiring now. There are a lot of countries here, but less than for the US. I don't think I'll do another one in the same way, at least not for a while. The Timor-Leste hint is fixed.

You have two bonus answers for Colombia; one which says blocked by Canada and one which says blocked by Mexico/Canada. But I love the quiz. It must be quite some work to figure out which countries can be reached and which just will be missed.
