    		I wouldn't have thought the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn to be capable of considering anything!

    		The equator passes through 13 countries: Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Sao Tome & Principe, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Maldives, Indonesia and Kiribati.

    The Tropic of Cancer passes through the following countries (going east):
    United States of America (Hawaii) - sea area only, misses every island, passing between Nihoa and Necker Island.
    Mexico, just north of Mazatlan on the Pacific.
    Bahamas.
    Western Sahara (claimed by Morocco).
    Mauritania.
    Mali.
    Algeria.
    Niger.
    Libya.
    Chad – Its northernmost point is defined by the Tropic of Cancer.
    Egypt.
    Saudi Arabia.
    United Arab Emirates.
    Oman capital city Muscat.
    India.
    Bangladesh.
    Myanmar.
    People's Republic of China, just north of Guangzhou, also known as Canton.
    Republic of China (Taiwan).

    I'm sorry but I don't see a match.

    The answer is none.

    		The area that lies between The Tropic Lines (Cancer and Capricorn) are considered "The Tropics" or the Tropical Zone of the Earth.

    The Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn differ from the Equator in that they are ONLY the end of this area.

    A person living in the area from the Equator South to this line is considered to live in "The Tropic of Cancer" and from the Equator North to the other line, to live in the "The Tropic of Capricorn".

    It is a bit ambiguous to say that the Tropic only passes through so-and-so. The Tropic IS more of an area than just a line.
