	Geography Quiz: Name that country based on its outline Remove this text

Below are a set of ten maps of countries, each proportionally correct but with north not necessarily equating up. Can you guess what they are? Ranging from the easy to the very hard. Ish.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.


And yes, I'm insane, and this was a stupid whim based on watching a stupid documentary that included a map. I'll never do it again.

yeah, that's why I said probably. Still, it's possible that Snapcase just took a crappy drawing.

Without looking at later responses..
1. Croatia
2. Stylized Mexico? Bizarre.
3. Ivory Coast, or one of those African countries with a short coast that extends upward.
4. A crime against nature. Big islands like that should be a dead give away, yet this looks like nothing I know... A really stylized Paupa New Guineau?
5. Madagascar.
6. Moazambique?!?? No clue.
7. A highly stylized China.
8. Luxembourg?!
9. Chad?!
10. Laos?!
Edit: What was I thinking? I meant Cambodia for #10, which is at least vaugely similar in shape, not a string bean like Laos.

Remember that north is not necessarily up.

Thank you. I notice some of you are not reading the instructions properly.

And none of them are skewered or "Excessively Stylized", I think. Or at least hope, my source is reasonably reliable.

4 looks roughly like Greece.

Could 9 be Texas?

Even despite that fact, I still can't figure them out... When did anyone here ever say that they thought north = up???
It's just really hard.

#1 just might be Armenia.

#9 is definitely Angola, but I came to that conclusion after reading the other answers, so that one doesn't count. No idea so far on the other ones.

I'm making... assumptions based on series of answers.

Seven have been guessed correctly so far. I won't say which ones, to allow others to show their skills. I will say that of the three left one is close to being "excessively stylized", one is trés difficult and one should be quite easy...

Having looked at all the previous answers, I think Orange is generally right.

7.Venezuela is a definite, 9. Angola and 10. Zimbabwe also.
3. Belize is also a sure thing.
