	I don't quite understand why Italy is the most perforated country?

	Chipmunkdavis:	May 30th, 2010 at 12:23 GMT	2 points
	Italy has two microstates completely contained within it, Vatican City and San Marino. The perforated country article was based off an article on answers.com.

	Indonesia doesn't have the most islands, that honour actually goes to Finland.

	Googled and came up with thisL: http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzislandcountry.htm Can you show me a Finland source? Just so I can compare the numbers?

	If you want to include enclaves, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan have a bunch of enclaves within each other's countries that would make both "more perforated" than anyone else (not sure which one has more, though).

	Interesting, Soviet Union relic? I know India and Bangladesh have enclaves. I used Italy because it has complete countries inside of it.

	Neither Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan or Kyrgyzstan have enclaves. Their borders are just intrincated. In 'most perforated country' I tried Vietnam, LOL.

	Did you expect there to be confusion about what perforated means?

	Central Asia is full of enclaves. The CIA World Factbook map of Kyrgyzstan shows 3 plainly visible, 2 belonging to Uzbekistan, one to Tajikistan. The second link below actually details 7 enclaves, but I don't really know the source, so I take it with a grain of salt. There are also lots of European enclaves, mostly vestiges of feudalism, such as Büsingen am Hochrhein, a German town entirely surrounded by Switzerland. Really liked the quiz. Found at least one bonus answer. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/maps/maptemplate_kg.html http://www.freewebs.com/enclaves/centralasia.htm http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2008/03/08/253-germany-surrounded-by-switzerland/

	Most perforated is interesting but I don't think it's a good question. I was trying to think of lakes when I saw the question as nothing better sprang to mind. Very good quiz apart from that.

	http://unpan1.un.org/intradoc/groups/public/documents/UN/UNPAN023307.pdf On this document, you have the confirmation of steelwolf's comment. This is the presentation of the Finland by the UN. According to this, on the bottom of page 2, Finland has 179,584 islands, so 10 times more than Indonesia.

	Alright then, now I know. Questions fixed, perforated made into a bonus, I see why it was confusing!

	jnhickson:	May 31st, 2010 at 11:13 GMT	2 points
	Country with the most Eiffel Towers? Excellent quiz!

	abanazerb:	May 31st, 2010 at 12:08 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. Just to comment on the perforation issue, Bangladesh would surely be the "most perforated by enclaves by size of country", should you wish to have such a question, as there are hundreds of tiny Indian enclaves within it. See what you mean about Italy though.

	I like the New Zealand bonus.

	Kyrgyzstan bonus FTW

	Looks like the "most perforated" question has been removed huh? Took me a while to think about what "doubly landlocked" could mean. Nice quiz.

	koopa08:	Aug 10th, 2010 at 14:12 GMT	1 point
	Wouldn't Norway be the southernmost country, as Peter I Island is not part of the Antarctic territory system? Great quiz by the way.

	I just got a closeup of the southern Finland edge in the Baltic Sea. I can see why it belongs.
