31/ Oh wait! While composing the final toot @milvus bagged Peru 🇵🇪 Brazil 🇧🇷 and thus we will also award a share of 🥈 place.

Very nice. 👏👏👏

30/ 🏁🏁🏁 OK, we are calling it. This month the emoji trophy 🏆 is - once again! - raised by @ccferrie

Well done! 👏👏👏

A very distant second place 🥈 @tlohde

As a group though we need to go on record that - and no doubt you all agree -it is **shameful** that no one discovered Senegal 🇸🇳 / Gambia 🇬🇲

#fridaygeotrivia

@milvus 29/ and now @milvus also grabs Bolivia 🇧🇴 Paraguay 🇵🇾 👏👏👏

#fridaygeotrivia

@opencage Must the "ruler border" be aligned to the lat-lng grid?

If not, I'd like to claim the Sweden 🇸🇪 - Finland 🇫🇮 lighthouse at Märket island. Which has its own wikipedia article.
