First example:
countryRepository.getCountriesFromAsiaWhereAreTheMostPlanesAndBoats();
countryRepository.getCountriesFromAfricaWhereAreTheMostCars();
Are these names too big? How else do we call these functions?
I was thinking about parameters, but according to Martin Fowler, it's better not to use parameters in functions.
Second example:
I have to use these two variables in the class:
public static class CompareCountries {
public String[] countriesFromAsiaWhereAreTheMostPlanesAndBoats;
public String[] countriesFromAfricaWhereAreTheMostCars;
public CompareCountries (String countriesFromAsiaWhereAreTheMostPlanesAndBoats, String[] countriesFromAfricaWhereAreTheMostCars){
this.countriesFromAsiaWhereAreTheMostPlanesAndBoats = countriesFromAsiaWhereAreTheMostPlanesAndBoats;
this.countriesFromAfricaWhereAreTheMostCars = countriesFromAfricaWhereAreTheMostCars;
}
public static String[] compares() {}
}
Here the more I can not use parameters.

Never let a code layout style issue motivate you to shorten a name:
However, always try to get the point quickly and effectively. Never permit pointless fluff.
Consider:
Also, I find it surprising that a class whose responsibility is to "compare countries" only deals with Asia and Africa. The class name might need to be longer. I shouldn't be surprised when I look inside.
