What Is The Most Aerodynamic Country?

Описание: I threw virtual balls at every country to answer a question no one asked — but now you’re probably curious: Which country has the most aerodynamic shape?

There’s no official formula for “aerodynamicicity” (still not a word), so I had to get creative. After abandoning a failed CFD attempt and some questionable made-up metrics, I settled on a simulation-based method that measures the average exit angles of balls bouncing off country outlines.

To make it more robust, I rotated each country 36 times (every 10°) and ran 50 simulations per rotation — all to get a more decisive answer.

Can you guess which countries came out on top?
