I'm partially ashamed to admit that I got all of them but one: a piece that had straight eastern and southern sides. It looked like a Canadian or Australian state/territory (large and having flat edges), but I couldn't place it. Also I had a hard time placing Brazil.

It was Mauritania. But I also zoomed in after like half of them so that's kinda cheating.
