Based on one more guess, and under the assumption that New Zealand has an island up north I'm unaware of, I'm going to go left-field with a guess of Lesotho?

No

I'd guess Chile.

Uruguay would be before Chile in South America.

Uruguay is way north of the southern tip of Chile.

"Furthest from the equator"

I think you need to read the question again

The question is, which country's most northerly point is furthest from the equator. The north of Chile is much closer to the equator than Uruguay

Does not Antarctica fall for consideration?

No.

A propos the others, well, what's the answer?

Uruguay it is.

In relation to the four main compass points, North, South, East and West, what is significant and probably unique about the location of Iceland vis a vis Greenland ?

At a guess I would say Greenland is further North, South, East and West of Iceland.

Just as well I said probably. That was the answer I was looking for.

Should have qualified it by saying islands, would that have made it unique?

Ok, so I'll take a go. Which country has the longest coastline in the world?

I think I remember hearing that this was Canada before? Lots of crinkly bits.

I'll put up a couple we didn't know from a quiz lately.

What is astraphobia a fear of? (Have subsequently spent ages learning off loads of phobias :pac:)

What year was the Irish Land League founded?

Fear of Space?

Anyway I owe a question or two:
1. What is the longest river flowing entirely within one country?
2. What is the longest river flowing entirely within one Irish county?
