What is the longest country in the world as measured in the north-south direction?

Question

I am searching for the longest one word place name in the world does anyone have the answer?

Answer 1

Brazil is the longest, spanning 2,731 miles.

Answer 2

Brazil is the longest country in the world. Chile extends 4,270 km (2,653 mi) and Brazil extends 4,395 km (2,731 mi) north to south.) Longest country is Russia 7,700 km East to West. Why speak only of north-south length? it is stupid.

Comments

Because that is what long means... If you want to say: the "longest" country from east to west, that should be: the broadest (or widest) country
