TIL that Chile, Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Taiwan, Greenland, and the Phillipines are the only countries that you can tunnel through to hit another land mass. All others lead to water. (lemmy.ml)

jakarta is a country? new zealand is not a country? vietnam counts even though not all of vietnam maps to a landmass on the other side?

this is extremely confused.

I'd argue that at least half of New Zealand isn't covered.

I do agree that vietnam shouldn't be in that list, but Cambodia should?

Sorry, finding an interactive map with simple country borders is surprisingly difficult. I tried OSM and Google and just wrote down the names I saw. My geography of southeast asia is obviously bad.

Suggest a better title, and I'll happily change

Other countries like China and Colombia have partial coverage in some regions.

The Greenland and Antartica antipodes don't really count imo
