My first guess was Liberia. Right placement of the country relative to the larger continent, but wrong continent. I didn't realize Peru was so much bigger than Liberia!

I first thought this country might be Kenya, and that the large cutout to the northeast could be the border of Somalia. How wrong I was! Instead, the cutout is Jordan's border with Saudi Arabia.

(Answer: Mongolia)
When places like Singapore appear in WitW, their tiny size greatly magnifies curves in the coastline and other geographical features. Mongolia has the opposite problem: the country is huge, but the WitW image makes it look small for some reason.

Some of these West African countries have pretty similar shapes, but rotated, flipped or scaled. I find it difficult to identify them in isolation.

(Answer: Uzbekistan)
I knew this one was a central Asian country, but I wasn't sure which one. My gut, however, told me Uzbekistan, and my gut was right. Uzbekistan has a highly-varied eastern border with Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, but its northern and western border with Kazakhstan has a lot of straight lines--most notably the western border, which runs straight north-to-south.
