And for the badly-coloured map:

EDIT: With the third rule (no returning directly back to previous country), getting to every country on Earth may be a little hard—specifically in regards to San Marino, Vatican City, or Lesotho...

Curaçao was part of the Netherlands Antilles before its dissolution in 2010. Nevertheless, it stands on its own now.

We'll get there eventually. If we get around Vanuatu, maybe I can post Fiji (already visited ). Lesotho is one of those difficult ones. I don't have any from there, but I do have some from the Vatican in the same situation.

I just saw this. To be honest I completely forgot about the the city states and micro countries.

To achieve our goal of OFEC I will have to make an exception for these.

The Rules.

1. The coin you post must share a border with the last country posted.

2. If the last country has a coastal border you may cross the water as long as it is a straight line without passing through another country.

3. No returning directly back to previous country. Example. If someone plays a coin from Brazil and then a coin from Argentina is played, you may not go right back to Brazil.

4. If we get stuck on a country for 24 hours you may jump one country that borders the current country to play a coin. I hope this rule make sense.

5. After you post a coin you must wait 30 minutes before you can post another coin.

The ONLY exception to rule #3 is: If a coin is posted from a country/city state that is completely landlocked by another country.
Example: If someone plays a coin from Italy, then a coin from the Vatican City (a City State)is played, then the next Person may go right back to Italy
.



There we go that should help.
