Great quiz though you shouldn't really use Wiki as a source but either way, this must have taken a bit of time to create. Really enjoyed it.

megascarp is right about the wiki source. Quizzes are almost never published with wikipedia as the source link. Find the info on CIA World Factbook, which is what I think the wiki article is based on, and link to that directly. Nice quiz all the same.

I would consider adding a minute to the timer, I think it's quite short at the moment. However, you could choose to leave it this way to make it more of a challenge. Also, I don't really get your note that coastlines don't necessarily have to border... Do you mean that they're not always contiguous or do you have another point?

I don't see any Central American nations on this list. Did you make the cut-off at a certain amount of coastline? I'm assuming Honduras, Nicaragua or Costa Rica would be competing for longest coastline.

@Tobsodan: I mean that if countries border eachother, their coastlines are not necessarily next to eachother, like India and China for example. @koopa08: The Central American countries actually make a chain from longest to shortest coastline. Panama longer than Costa Rica, Costa Rica longer than Nicaragua, etc. So only Panama would qualify, but Panama borders Colombia... @marvcus: North Korea's coastline is slightly longer.
