Well, I was thinkin' you know how there's our side like the U.S. with Canada, and South America and all them? Then there's the other 'guys', Russia, China, Japan, and all those like next to us?
Well, do both of those wrap around the Earth or are there like whole different countries not shown on maps?
Forget about Antarctica and the North Pole or whatever.
No, I'm serious when I ask this. Cuz I wanna know!

We've pretty much explored and seen every land mass, so yep, all of the continents (North + South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania) wrap around the world, with every recognized country on the map - nearly 200 exist. All we haven't discovered are newly formed, small volcanic islands. Everything else has been spotted using Satellites.

Interestingly, in the very distant past, all the continents were all one big land mass with no oceans separating them! But over time continents drift (at about 1cm per year) and can collide with other continents or drift out to be a lone landmass surrounded by water.

Here's a map of the world with the countries listed. There are lots of countries that you didn't name, but the answer to your question is basically no. There are two really big oceans (the Atlantic and Pacific) that put lots of space between our side of the world (the western hemisphere with north and south america) and the rest of the world (the eastern hemisphere with europe, asia, africa, and australia).
So there aren't countries that wrap all the way around. There's lots of ocean that noone owns.

Hmm... inquisitive question. Well, I think we are whole different continents not countries. But yes, I think we are separate. They are kind of next to us, because if you kind of cut the earth and lay it flat, having it spread out, they are next to us.

Now, I have a questioin for you. Are you an Indigo Child? I know I am. Indigo Children are these different kinds of people who are different from society. They have very intelligent minds, and are curious. They like to ask questions and are fond of observing. They are obsessive thinkers, and have long memories. A lot of them are loners and draw inwards, feeling like no other human understands them. Some people call them weird, like how they act. We are COMPLETELY different from society. We are very creative individuals, having high gifted ranges in the artistic, musical. And all of the creative attributes. We are so sensitive that we can feel others' feelings. Some indigos have no sympathy for others. Some are very sympathetic. (I'm sympathetic) They like or dislike a person straight away, and can read you like an open book. Indigo children are psychic people who have great imagnations. I think you are an indigo child. It's your question that surprised me. That's when I had the impression that you might be an indigo child. I would advise you to search "indigo children" up on Google. Thank you.

There is evidence the land masses were linked together at one time but due to earth changes they broke apart. Look at the different masses and see how they fit together.
