This has been done before, several times, too, if I recall correctly.

I've seen only one copy of it, but it wasn't as complete as this list.

I think you should make Hans Island a bonus--granted, at only 1.3 square km it definitely doesn't qualify by you size criterion for inclusion in the quiz, but I just think it's funny that Denmark and Canada are "fighting" over the tiny island.

I think Cyprus should be a bonus answer- Northern Cyprus is not a sporcle recognised country and territories (like the UK ones) are usually not included.

Jam1, I included Cyprus because the UK does have sovereign territory there; it met the qualifications of my list, and to exclude it would be incomplete. flixuk, I like how your quiz is the reverse of mine. I think there's room for both of us. :-)

If you wanted to include Hans Ø, you'd have to include numerous other disputed islands, such as Spratly Islands and even Rockall.
