Would it be possible to create a checker for a challenge that requires a cacher to have found a cache in 15 contigueous states?

yes, it's possible, however you should provide list of all states and also list of the connections between the states (in other words, for every state we need the list of adjacent states to the given state.
See the discussion on http://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,332

With "state" you mean country (i.e. USA, Mexico, France, Germany) or you mean US states as Texas, California etc?
Is there some area restriction, i.e. US only (in the case of us states) or one continent only, i.e. Europe? In this case the amount of data needed by checker will be significantly lower.

Hello Carnigrewal,

Do you have the states you want this macro to cover?

There is already county level data for the US. That might be able to be massaged to get state level data without any more human interaction.

However outside the US, there is no data set to my knowledge.

Please advise.

Rather than using the county connection matrix with has some 18,000 data points, it might make more sense to made a State/Province connection matrix which would have less than 400 data points. Then this could be merged with the programing concept Target used for the counties.
