Where In The World? • Puzzle #248 • 2023-04-05 ✅✅✅✅✅🎉
(Answer: Palau)
When I record an answer here, I try to write down some clues to help me recognize the country in the future. I don't consider it cheating to look at those notes later, since they only provide hints without images, and I ultimately have to rely on my memory to make sure those hints are relevant. Those notes are the only reason I got this answer right today.

(Answer: Estonia)
From the fragmented nature of the western side of this nation, I figured it bordered a coast, but I wasn't sire which one. My first guess, though I knew it was wrong, was Azerbaijan. It took a few tries to realize the coast was the Baltic Sea.

Well, that was embarrassing--especialy since Costa Rica is in my hemisphere, and I think it was even an answer on Where in the Word at least once before.

Though my knowledge about the Balkans is admittedly lacking, something about the shape of this country immediately made me think of southeast Europe. A few bounces helped me quicly zero in on the corrent answer.
