Astrolabe: find the hidden country

Astrolabe hides one country somewhere on the globe. Type a guess and you get the distance and compass direction from your guess to the answer, then narrow it down until you land on it.

Each guess shows the distance and direction to the hidden country.
Guessed countries stay on the globe, coloured by how close they are.
The globe only names countries you have already guessed.
Hard Mode hides the direction arrows and the country names on the globe.
