That is an incredibly arbitrary definition, but still would seem to only rule out New Zealand. As far as I can tell 100% of the landmasses of Palau, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu, and Brunei are opposite another landmass.

Very true, though I went with the larger countries since I thought they'd be more recognizable and didn't want to fit every single island into the title
