All of India is distinctly north of the equator. The towns of Nagercoil, Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, Trivandrum, and Neyyattinkara, at the southern tip of India, are in the part of the country nearest to the equator. The southernmost point on land, south of Nagercoil where Highway-47 approaches the seacoast and then abruptly turns north, is still about 560 miles north of the equator.
The equator passes through the countries of Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, Gabon, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Indonesia, and the terrirorial waters of several South Pacific island nations.

The Strait of Gibraltar connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, and is in the Northern hemisphere. (All of Europe and the Mediterranean, including North Africa, is north of the equator.)
The equator crosses 3 countries in South America, 6 countries in Africa, a countryin Asia, and the territorial waters of 3 or 4 Pacific island countries.Each of these has part of it on one side of the equator, another part of it on theother side of the equator, and territory that's right exactly on the equator. Soyou'd have to say that all 13 or 14 of them are tied for "nearest".
