The Proclaimers had a hit with a song claiming they would walk 500 miles, and that they would walk 500 more.
If they were to walk 1,000 miles from their home in Edinburgh just to fall down at your door, how many countries could they potentially be in? (We are assuming they can walk on water and over any obstacles that might be in their way.)
The first new player to comment with the correct answer within two countries wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.

It’s more than that. Europe is full of tiny little countries.
I have come up with 30 (assuming the UK is one, rather than its components):
UK
Ireland
Spain
Portugal
Andorra
France
Belgium
Netherlands
Germany
Luxembourg
Iceland
Denmark
Norway
Sweden
Finland
Latvia
Lithuania
Russia
Poland
Czechia
Slovakia
Hungary
Austria
Slovenia
Croatia
Liechtenstein
Italy
Switzerland
Monaco
San Marino
That’s getting close.
It’s actually 27.
With UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Andorra, France, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland.
You forgot Estonia, but you also included Hungary, Croatia, Monaco, and San Marino.
But that’s pretty solid, and an impressive list.
Arrgh! Two-dimensional map projections!
