Tunisia v Japan is the only World Cup group-stage match where both countries' highest points sit on the 35° latitude line.

QUESTION on CHINA.
It seems to me that China is libertarian for small entities, w/near complete laissez faire, compared to, say, Italy or France, where the small is overregulated and the large able to play the system. China's state control applies to large entities.

And in those cases where Russian air defense actually hits targets, the consequences for the people and objects on the ground are quite devastating.
