Geography Quiz: Name that country based on its outline

[Buck Birdseed]

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.

[Guest]

This is not constructive but 1. is not argentina i think

[Bas]

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

5. Madagascar
6. Japan
10. Zimbabwe

[SnowFire]

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.

4. Greenland?

[Buck Birdseed]

Remember that north is not necessarily up.

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

[Buck Birdseed]

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?
