𑁜𑁓
Name the country in green:

Bolivia. It's bordered by five countries, including the one in your hint.

𑁜𑁓

Peru also borders five countries. I'm going with that.

[HighlyIrregular]

𑁜𑁓 is Peru because the diagram shows one of the borders is non-land, which represents water, and Peru borders the ocean.

[*] For answers that are "guessable" (i.e., have limited possible answers), you need to explain your answer to get the points to show you're not just guessing.

By period I mean duration.

Not the one.

Correct! 10 points.

I think that C.J.'s explanation is fair. That was tough luck though.

It could not be Bolivia as the map is not isomorphic for that. If you count down from Canada, it does not quite fit, though close.

Noon, or solar meridian occurs at the same time according to the local clock.

𑁛
Noon, or solar meridian occurs at the same time according to the local clock.

I'm pretty sure not ... or it's something a bit more specific (as solar noon is around 11:00-13:00 everywhere on any date I guess?).

[Utisz]

Crap, I did mess up slightly in that it should be December 22 for Rovaniemi and Perth. I've corrected this.

Shortest day for one, longest for the other
