About the Country Shapes of Oceania quiz
- How many countries are in the Oceania quiz?
- 16 β every country in Oceania with the data this quiz needs. Questions are drawn fresh from that pool each round, so no two rounds repeat.
- Which outlines in Oceania are the easiest?
- Islands, generally β their whole shape is coastline, with nothing borrowed from a neighbour. 14 of these 16 countries qualify.
- Does size help?
- A little. Australia is the largest here and hard to mistake; Tokelau is the smallest and usually guessed last.
- How many countries in Oceania have a land border?
- Two. Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste are the only countries here with a land frontier; the other 14 have no land neighbour at all. No other region is anything like as isolated, which is why position rather than adjacency is what is worth learning in Oceania.
- Why is Australia in every Oceania question?
- Because it is most of the region. Australia covers about 90% of Oceania's 8,505,363 kmΒ², leaving the other 15 countries to share what is left. Oceania is one continental landmass and a scattering of island states across an ocean, which is why its totals look lopsided next to any other region's.
- How many countries in Oceania are islands?
- 14 countries have no land border with any other.
- What makes a country hard to recognise from its outline?
- Usually the number of neighbours β Papua New Guinea borders 1 country, so its outline is shaped as much by other borders as by coastline.
