My guess is that the distances are crow flies between the closest together points from Country1 to Country2, but its just a general guide.

What was your first guess? Did you get it?

That's not the case, the target actually borders my first guess though it gave me 2k+km!! :-D

Maybe it works on capital cities? For me is Madrid to Caracas 6,615 km as the crow flies?

You cant do it again on the day, and a new one comes up the next day, but screenshot your try Mick. Here's my effort
