made this a blitz type quiz so it doesn't just end up being name all the countries you can.

Loved the quiz! Be wary of tons of comments about overseas territories that would otherwise rule out several countries on this list.

The Netherlands have overseas territories in the Caribbean which would disqualify them; furthermore, Denmark (which is a bonus) has its furthest point from Copenhagen pushed further out as they have Greenland.

Excellent quiz. One minor quibble. St. Kitts should be St. Kitts and Nevis. St. Vincent should be St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
