Voluptuous I

Countries that have a nice shape and/or features (in alphabetical order):

Albania

Perhaps a dubious choice to start off the list, but I think Albania has a very nice, cosy shape, as if it would feel at ease in one's grip. Plus, it has a coastline and seems like it wouldn't take too much time to get to a beach.

Armenia

Kinda looks like a Gibson Thunderbird. Has a huge lake.

Australia

Okay, rather biased here, but Australia has a great shape. It's got character! There's a bit of symmetry to it with the two northern points and the hips on either side. At the south end, a cute little oddity in Tasmania. Ocean all around, how awesome.

Australia's little cousin looks like a chicken drumstick (imagination needed).

Azerbaijan

There's a bit of sci-fi to Azerbaijan. Lots of jagged edges, wings in all directions, a nose that leads the way into the ocean. I like how Armenia has rudely butted in and divided the country in two.
