The same shape as the coast of South America
As the Earth is a circular shape, the continent technically above Canada is Asia. ----- Asia for sure but is it circular or an oblate spheroid? I suspect either is good enough for this answer but thought I would point it out.
France is sometimes nicknamed l'hexagone (the hexagon), from the general shape of the country.
The country of Chile is relatively long and narrow. India's state of Kerala, located on the southwest coast of the country, resembles the shape of Chile, but is much smaller.
Finland is mostly a fairly flat country, but especially in the north there are mountains too.
Chile has one of the most compact territorial shapes among countries, stretching over 4,300 kilometers in length while averaging just 177 kilometers wide. This elongated shape has earned it the nickname "The Land of Poets."

A compact country is a nation that has a shape that does not have many indentations or irregularities, making it relatively easy to govern and maintain communication and transportation networks across its territory. Examples of compact countries include Poland and Austria.
Chile is a country that is shaped like a string bean, with a long and narrow shape running down much of South America's west coast.

Territorial claims follow lines of longitude that all terminate at the South Pole. You could say that these claims are pie-shaped. You can see a map showing the shape, below.
Animals have somewhat compact shapes although they do not necessarily take the most compact form possible (which would be a sphere). Compact shapes are more defensible. Long, thin filaments can be more easily severed than short, thick limbs.
