Algeria Deep Cut

Go past the first country or city a classroom map would show. We would type Algeria: Deep Cut, +85, 7 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Canada, China, Russia, or United States — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Democratic Republic of the Congo (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.
