OK, this is just screwed up. I scored a perfect round, but today’s puzzle shows how inconsistent this game is.

The spoiler contains spoilers, so don’t click it if you’re going to try your luck in the game.Tonga is closer to New Zealand than two of the countries included as neighbours. Why does it treat Norfolk Island as a neighbour when it’s an Australian external territory? And why does the game usually only consider nearby neighbours separated by water when the country has no land borders at all? Like when it was Italy, they didn’t include Tunisia or Albania as neighbours, despite both being far closer than any of NZ’s neighbours.
