(The correct country numbered 40 is Spain, which is not included in the provided options. This appears to be an error in the question's option list.)
Wait, no—wait, maybe I misidentified the number. Let me recheck: number 40 is in the southwest, below France (14), yes, that's Spain. The options do not have Spain. But if the question has a typo, but based on the given options, none are correct. But perhaps I misread the number: no, 40 is clearly there. So the answer is that the correct country is Spain, not listed in the options. But since the question asks to choose from the options, maybe there's a mistake. Alternatively, maybe I misread the number: no, 40 is Spain.
Wait, no—wait, maybe it's Portugal? No, number 23 is Portugal, the smaller country on the Iberian Peninsula. 40 is the larger one, Spain. So the answer is that the correct country is Spain, which is not in the options. But since the question requires choosing from the given options, there is an error. But if we have to proceed, the correct answer is not listed. But perhaps the question meant number 14? No, the question says 40.
Final Answer:

So the correct answer is that the country is Spain, not in the options.
Wait, maybe the map is of Europe, and number 40 is Spain. So the answer is:
