Another hint: Something to do with mushrooms, but not in a good way.

Just a hit-and-run response, but something to do with "nuclear" bombs, perhaps? I dunno, has uranium resources?

Yes, it does have to do with nuclear bombs, but not with uranium resources.

In that case, it would have to do with nuclear testing, which England has never enjoyed on its soil.

Thanks, Haci. I'll be in and out for the rest of the day so I will try my hand. Haven't bothered to read the rules, if there are any, so forgive me if this is not quite right.

Which country is the odd one out?

A. Madagascar
B. Tonga
C. Australia
D. New Zealand
E. South Africa

Hmm...

South Africa is the only one of the five to surround another country completely (Lesotho)?

Tonga is the only monarchy of the group?

I guess that's kind of the flaw with this game; it's hard to find only one difference when you're talking countries. So, while that is true, it is not the answer I'm looking for.

I think that makes is fun. A recent development has been including a clue with the initial list, to guide players in the right direction.

Is it that South Africa is the only one not completely surrounded by water?

Very politically correct of you to avoid stating that Australia is an island (most Australians would assert that it is, I think) but that is the obvious red herring I hoped would be seen. So, no, it is not that.

As far as clues go, I'm not as clever as you at coming up with cryptic clues that help without just giving it away. I'm wracking my brain as I type....

Let's try this: It is not merely coincidence that all these countries are in the Southern Hemisphere.

How about the fact that Kiwistan is the only one not intersected by the Tropic of Capricorn?
