How about 20 deg. East?

By my count 20°E passes through 19 countries.

We can do better than that :D

I'm going to say 35 deg E, maybe passing through tonnes of East Europe/Balkans and then eastern Africa.

35°E only passes through 15 countries. Oh pooh pooh pooh.

I think Schmenke and Storm are close. So I will day 25 east, through the middle of Europe and Africa

25°E passes through 20 countries.

It's the best so far but we can still do a little better.

26 east

26°E also passes through 20 countries.

20 is good but wait, there's more.

27 east, trying to get Lesotho as well as South Africa to score 21

We have a winner!

You could have also had 28°E as well... because of Lesotho

Slightly odd question - What time is it at the South Pole?
