      Alaska, Canada, Russia, a few on the -stans.

      This is the longest straight-line all-water route on earth.

      India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.

        For some reason I don’t think this is true.

        A straight line connecting two things does not necessarily have to connect to said things perpendicular to their border.

          Yeah but, I’m talking about this particular case, not making a mathematical rule. You have to move away from the coast, and then cannot turn, so you have to head towards Africa. You can’t set off toward Australia. Although I hadn’t considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there’s that.
