The greatest possible longitude is 180 degrees.
That meridian crosses territory in
(It also crosses Antarctica, but there are no countries there.)
More than what ? ?
The country that spans the greatest range of latitude is Russia,
followed closely by Chile.
Since the whole epic drama is playing out on the surface of a sphere, and all latitude and longitude measurements are really angles on the sphere, you can never be more than 180 degrees away from any latitude or longitude that anybody wants to name.
A point can be in a country, but a whole country can't be at one point. That point is in Argentina. There are also an infinite number of points in Argentina that have different coordinates.
The largest latitude is +90 degrees (North Pole) and -90 degrees (South Pole). The largest longitude is +180 degrees (international date line) and -180 degrees (same meridian on the other side of the globe).
The country located at 10 degrees S and 30 degrees E is Mozambique.
It's not possible for a whole country to be located completely all at one point. That particular point is one of an infinite number of points in South Africa.
The greatest number of degrees anyone can be from the prime meridian is 180 degrees. This is because the prime meridian itself is located at 0 degrees longitude, and the maximum longitude value is 180 degrees both east and west. Therefore, any location can be a maximum of 180 degrees away from the prime meridian.

+180 degrees.
A point can be in a country, but a whole country can't be at one point. That point is in Argentina. There are also an infinite number of points in Argentina that have different coordinates.
Zero degrees longitude
A point can be in a country, but a whole country can't be at one point. That point is in Argentina. There are also an infinite number of points in Argentina that have different coordinates.

The greatest number of degrees in any triangle are 180o
The largest latitude is +90 degrees (North Pole) and -90 degrees (South Pole). The largest longitude is +180 degrees (international date line) and -180 degrees (same meridian on the other side of the globe).
That point is one of a huge number of points in northern Chad. All of the others have different coordinates.
Continent: Antarctica Country: Australia (no joke) City: Casey station Latitude: 66.17 degrees south Longitude: 35 degrees east
The country located at 10 degrees S and 30 degrees E is Mozambique.
