1. This country is just over seven times the size of Bhutan, and there are just under 5877 miles between Bhutan's capital Thimphu and its own capital Ougadougou. Formerly known as Upper Volta, where are we?

2. This British Overseas Territory is home to Hamilton, which is the oldest continuously inhabited British colonial town. It is 724 times smaller than Bhutan, and there is a ten hour time difference between the two countries. Where are we?

Answer: Bermuda

Bermuda is possibly most famous for the beautiful pink sandy beaches, and stunning scuba diving sites. Bhutan is of course landlocked, but one thing the two countries do have in common is subtropical climate, with the south of Bhutan having surprisingly similar weather to Bermuda for much of the year.

Answer: Bangladesh

Bangladesh has borders with India and Burma, and a coastline on the Bay of Bengal. The lie of the land and the huge delta plain mean that it is prone to severe flooding and environmental damage each year during the Monsoon season.
6. Fifty one times smaller than Bhutan, this country is home to the World Heritage Site at the ancient capital of the historic land of Dilmun. Its own modern day capital, since independence in 1971, is Manama. Where are we?

Answer: Bahrain

The country of Bahrain is an archipelago of thirty three islands, and it is split into five administrative districts known as Governates.
Practically the entire economy of Bahrain is dependent on oil and natural gas deposits, and only a little over one percent of the land is suited to agriculture, meaning it relies heavily on imports to support the population.

Most of the land in Botswana is part of the Kalahari Desert, but the Okavango Delta is one of the richest and most biodiverse habitats in Africa. The eastern side of the Delta is a protected game reserve.
Botswana gained independence from the UK in 1966.
