That is an incredibly arbitrary definition, but still would seem to only rule out New Zealand. As far as I can tell 100% of the landmasses of Palau, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu, and Brunei are opposite another landmass.

German is not the same as Germanic. Both German and English evolved from a common ancestor, which we call Proto-Germanic.

I would say that in this case German strayed more than English.
