Answer 4

1. French Guiana

2. Suriname

3. Burma (Myanmar)

My criterion:

1). Whole country should have uniform distribution without contrasting disparities. So, this rules out all big countries.

2). Should have less contrasting disparitiy over seasons (between January and July).

3). Should have peak rainfall for a month or two in a year.

F r. Guiana has 12"(30cm) & above in January and 8"(20cm) in July and its neighbour Suriname with lesser amounts, follows.

Burma wholly gets 16"(40cm) & above except lower rainfall in middle part of country in Monsoon (July) but less than 1" in winter (January). Burma is in Monsoon region of South and South East Asia where it is more than 16"(40cm) rainfall are but falls off in winter. Cherrapunji & its neighbouring Mawsmai (Mehalaya state in india) record more than 10meters(1070cm) of annual rainfall, as a country India is balanced by a desert (Thar) and less rainy areas.

Answer 5

The Philippines!
