	I had a lot of trouble finding any information about the extreme points of most of the dependencies, so I had to use Google Maps to help me. If you spot an error of any kind, or have a suggestion on how to make this quiz better, please let me know about it here in the comments and give me a chance to fix it before you give the quiz a low rating ;) This quiz includes every sovereign state and dependency of North and South America, plus Greenland, Martinique and French Guiana. The reason for including those three is that they're geographically separate from their parent country.

	Nice work! You should really mention the inclusion of territories in the title. How about including Navassa Island? Also the Netherlands Antilles will be dissolved next October so this quiz will have to be updated to include the 5 constituent parts. I'm pretty sure St John and St Thomas of the US Virgin islands are further north than St Barthelemy, probably north of Saint Martin too.

	uh.. Bermuda, St. Pierre, Turks & Caicos, Cayman, BVI, Anguilla, St. Martin, Antilles, St. Barts, USVI, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Falkland Islands.. None of these are countries, which is what the title of the game asks for...

	@A_is_for_Addict: Ah, what do you know, looks like someone mixed the US and the British Virgin Islands... I'll fix it tomorrow (It's kinda late here now, and I'm tired). Also, I'm aware of the impending break-up of the Netherlands Antilles, but seeing as they'll remain one political entity for almost another year, I included them here as the Netherlands Antilles. I will update the quiz in the future. I didn't include Navassa Island because it is uninhabited, small, and largely unknown to most people. I also updated the title of the game, sorry about that.

	Curious, what point of Venezuela is north of Peninsula de la Guajira in Colombia?

	Crazy, I just thought of this game and decided to see if anyone had made it, and you made it just today!

	There we go, I have updated the position of the US Virgin Islands, albeit a bit late... rbradatl: It's a small island called Isla de Aves, roughly west of Guadeloupe and Dominica. I didn't know about it either before I made this quiz.

Comment below threshold: show it

	What the hell are you talking about? Guam is in the Western Pacific, a long, long way from the Americas. I didn't include Navassa Island or South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands because they are not permanently inhabited. And I know that Aruba is not a part of the Netherlands Antilles, that's why I've included it as a separate answer in the quiz.

	Good quiz! I'm impressed by its thoroughness.

	Navassa Island? I believe Aruba & St. Maarten are part of the Netherlands Antilles.

	Why are France and UK accepted for all French and British territories, respectively, except for Saint Pierre and Miquelon and the Turks and Caicos Islands?
