(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.

(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.
