TIL that Chile, Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Taiwan, Greenland, and the Phillipines are the only countries that you can tunnel through to hit another land mass. All others lead to water. (lemmy.ml)

What about New Zealand, Palau, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu, and Brunei?

That is an incredibly arbitrary definition, but still would seem to only rule out New Zealand. As far as I can tell 100% of the landmasses of Palau, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu, and Brunei are opposite another landmass.

Very true, though I went with the larger countries since I thought they'd be more recognizable and didn't want to fit every single island into the title
