"EU's largest national park is in South America" is a fun fact.
Canada is closer to the EU than the island of Great Britain is
They also have a border with Canada at St Pierre & Miquelon.
The map only includes land borders. St Pierre and Miquelon are islands, so they have none. France has several small islands scattered around the world as legacy of the French Empire which are also absent from OP's map for the same reason. Saint Martin on the center left is a notable exception, since it's divided in two between France and the Netherlands.
730 bananas?
Reading fail 
Italy surprises me. Austria too, but I guess that juts in can really add up.
Did you mean Switzerland?
Honestly I'm more surprised that the border with Belgium is longer than the border with Spain
I think it's just measuring the longest contiguous border.
The border with Spain has Andorra in the middle
There isn't a 2nd number on the east side of Andorra so I think the 623 is the total with Spain.
