      The thing is this would be an incredibly boring journey unless you deviated to stop at ports from time to time. Lets say you go at an average speed of 25 knots non stop that would take you about 29 days. Most of which there wouldn't be any land in sight and just endless ocean surrounding you. Unless you are on a very large yacht or cruise ship with lots of things to do.

      By definition a Great Circle is one that goes around something equivalent to the equator. So the distance has to be just as large. Yes, you could go in a circle around Antarctica and not hit any land, but that isn’t a Great Circle.

      @Antimatter mapping Actually French Guyana is considered French to such a degree that they get things like EU membership. If territories don't count as being part of the country, does that mean the US capitol isn't part of the US? And if it's a distance thing, Alaska and Hawaii are considered states just as much as the other 48. Even Greenland is considered part of Denmark despite the growing Independence movement. If a region is claimed by a country, internationally recognised as being owned by that country, and the region isn't attempting some kind of armed rebellion and/or under foreign occupation, then I don't know how you can say it isn't part of said country.

      Well, there's no such sign in Kamchatka yet, but a little bit more south, in the main town on the peninsula, there's a whole bunch of arrows in different directions saying something like "Moscow 9000 km" or "Tokyo 1500 km". The funniest thing tho is if you're strong enough, you can rotate these arrows all at once :D

    When Amerigo Vespucci was on an expedition to the continent (although not the country) that would eventually bear his name, at one point he saw the natives living in huts that were elevated above the river (or ocean?) by sticks.These reminded him of the canals of Venice so he named this area "little Venice", which is how "Venezuela" got its name.

      Or having to walk through high malarias, Wartorn countries, through the scorching Sahara Desert, and having to walk through the freezing winter in Russia trying to reach Magadon, Russia.
      However, I've got an even more crazier challenge than just this, it is a travelling the world type of challenge, however, your starting point will have to be around A'gulhas, South Africa, walk all the way to Magadon, Russia, then walk about 1,300 miles into Uelen, Russia, then cross the Bering Strait to Wales, Alaska, get to Fairbanks, Alaska, then walk all the way down to Ushuaia, Argenrina, however, there will be a 60+ mile jungle to cross from Panama into Colombia going through the Darien Gap as well as a large river to somehow cross once getting out of the jungle in Colombia.
      Note: If you travel on foot at 4 mph like me or faster, you'll go across the world in 4.5 or so years if having to travel for 12 hours a day for 48 miles a day, but there will be some obstacle barriers to cross that could potentially slow you down such as mountainous terrain, rivers, the Bering Strait (Cross during late Fall/during winter/early spring) , borders, and the Darien Gap.
      Not to mention the essentials, food, water, clothing, and gear.
      Good luck! 👍😉

    Reminds me of my Grandpa L. He was a master Navigator and Oceanographic Cartographer of the highest degree; able to pilot any tonnage of vessel in any water anywhere. He was also one of the one to two hundred or so people who developed the GPS system - mostly as a Navigation Consultant(one of about 75, IIRC). He also taught Wireless Telecommunications and Navigation at the Bellingham Votech.
    On a snow day, I asked him this very question and he stared at the globe on his desk for less than a minute before: "Huh... Perhaps... Leseeeheerrr..." He then grabbed the globe and turned it to the Indian Ocean for a couple of seconds, looked at Antarctica, then The Pacific Ocean - all the while, making old-man-thinking-noises. "Yup, that would do it... Hand me one of my drafting pencils, will you?" Then, after he drew this very path, he gave me a day's lesson in Long-distance Course Plotting and the basics of Celestial Navigation. A snow day to remember, for sure.
    Three years later, he died of cancer. He was diagnosed about six months after that particular snow day, and, to honor him before he died, the school was going to give my dad - a fisherman and sailor himself - and me a full-ride scholarship to take his class, which would have been my Running Start course in High School. Sadly, his cancer progressed too fast, and we never got the chance. 😞
    Thanks for the reminder of one of the best days with one of the most influential men in my life. 🙂

    Just to clarify, Venezuela is named after Venice because when the Spanish colonizers came and saw the indigenous houses in the rivers thought it looked like Venice and thus Venezuela (Little Venice). Also Venezuela has so many Italians due to the several migration waves incoming to South America from Europe throughout the years, Venezuela just happened to be a prosperous “American Dream” type of country.
