It's really a shame the developer didn't add this feature. One might be scared off by the large number of geometry files involved with this, but actually this is a great example of when hard coding can supersede dynamic/robust code. It would be better to simply store an object of all countries borders and the their relative direction to one another. I could see this being a slight issue with countries that share a border with another that is many directions of their border (Lesotho and South Africa, for example), but it would still be much less deceptive than saying "the USA is 2000km south of Canada."

France would be fascinating

(For context France has borders with Brazil for example, and is only a few miles from Canada and not far from Austrailia)
