The antimeridian, at longitude 180° (West/East).
The International Dateline is not the same thing, it skirts several areas to make time zones work better, and so doesn't have a consistent longitude.
The Prime Meridian (located at 0 degrees longitude) goes through the western part of Africa from Algeria in the North to Ghana in the South, passing through parts of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Togo on the way.
Roughly 180o, the date line wiggles to avoid passing over inhabited land so that people don't have the complication of living with the dateline passing through their town.
You don't say which meridian.If you're referring to the Prime Meridian, then the southernmost country is Ghana.
No. The international prime meridian passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. There's nothing in principle stopping an Asian country from declaring its own prime meridian passing wherever it wants it to be, but they'd be different from the standardized maps of almost all other nations if they did so.
The prime meridian in located at 0 degress longitude, and passes through Grenich, England.
It's known as the meridian of 180o longitude.

One of the earliest Prime Meridians was defined as passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England (hence its name as the Greenwich Meridian). The international reference meridian (IRM) which is used by GPS units as 0° latitude passes 5.31 arcseconds east of the Greenwich Meridian - about 100 meters - which is still well withing England.
The Prime Meridian, located at 0° longitude, is the line that separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. This imaginary line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through Greenwich, London.

A magnetic meridian is a line passing through a location connecting its magnetic north and south poles, while a geographical meridian is a line passing through a location connecting its geographic north and south poles. The magnetic meridian is affected by the Earth's magnetic field, while the geographical meridian is based on the Earth's rotation.
The Prime Meridian runs from pole to pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
The prime meridian in located at 0 degress longitude, and passes through Grenich, England.
They're labeled E (or W) to show that they're (E)ast or (W)est of the prime meridian (which is the line of longitude passing through Greenwich Observatory near London). 15 degrees East and 15 degrees West are the same distance from the prime meridian, but in opposite directions.
