That's what usually happens with me too. Usually the ones that give me issues are the small islands in the pacific and the west indies.

gently caress pacific island countries in tradle, i hate them

the directional arrows are nearly meaningless when it's one of those, and US territories are separate so once i guessed samoa when it was american samoa

It’s kind of mean, but

even if you don’t associate the commodities with the right answer, there are only so many countries in its total export range and so many countries even remotely near it geographically.

confused me so much. i ended up in vietnam and i could only think of taiwan, though it would have been wrong. failed on the phillipines.

i assume that isn't gold mining, it's exporting it as a commodity or something? lots of precious metals there. or finished products?

its gotta be finished products i think. according to OEC they import a poo poo ton

In 2020, Hong Kong imported $20.1B in Gold, becoming the 8th largest importer of Gold in the world. At the same year, Gold was the 4th most imported product in Hong Kong. Hong Kong imports Gold primarily from: United Arab Emirates ($4.27B), China ($3.05B), Japan ($2.34B), Chinese Taipei ($1.71B), and Switzerland ($1.32B).

which is almost as much as they export

In 2020, Hong Kong exported $33B in Gold, making it the 2nd largest exporter of Gold in the world. At the same year, Gold was the 1st most exported product in Hong Kong. The main destination of Gold exports from Hong Kong are: United Kingdom ($12.2B), Switzerland ($10.4B), Singapore ($2.04B), United States ($1.64B), and China ($1.48B).

The fastest growing export markets for Gold of Hong Kong between 2019 and 2020 were Switzerland ($8.73B), United Kingdom ($8.24B), and United States ($1.64B).

this one owned me. towards the end I guessed laos and the philippines and was totally baffled by the result of about 1,500km away from both, NE from laos, NW from the philippines. just utterly chumped
