Featured A world tour - post the next country.

This is just a question for my edification regarding the rule:
2. If a country is on the ocean then any country across the ocean is acceptable as long as there is a direct, straight line between them with no intervening countries.

In the above post I posted a coin from Denmark since it is physically adjacent to Sweden; could I, however, have posted this coin: a 1922 Latavia 2 Santimi
since it is across the Baltic? with no intervening nation, except maybe the island of Saaremaa.

@techwriter . . .

Yes, sir. That sounds consistent with my understanding of the rules, as well as consistent with how I've seen it play out here.

Have a great weekend!
