	Just to reiterate, all countries on this quiz meet 2 criteria: 1 - Have a noncontiguous region defined as a land area that can only be reached from the mainland by going through another country or over a body of water other than a river or lake (so straits, channels, oceans, seas, bays, etc count) and 2 - That the non-contiguous region borders a foreign country I gathered these from a variety of sources, I think I have all that meet this criteria, but please let me know if something needs to be changed or added

	Shouldn't Denmark be here? Greenland is its largest landmass, after all.

	Brizza:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 10:17 GMT	1 point
	If I have understood correctly, Greenland doesn't border anything therefore isn't included (same for, say, Easter Island).

	xref:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 11:29 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. For the Netherlands, there's also Zeeuws Vlaanderen which can only be reached over land through Belgium if I am correct.

	tahitiwahini:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 12:28 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz! But for Spain, shouldn't Llívia be said to border France rather than Spain (it is, after all, a part of Spain).

	tahitiwahini:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 12:47 GMT	1 point
	@xref: I'm guessing Zeeuws Vlaanderen isn't included because it is possible to go from Zeeuws Vlaanderen to the rest of the Netherlands through the Western Scheldt Tunnel which connects the cities of Terneuzen and Ellewoutsdijk. Therefore, it fails diving's first criterion: "... a land area that can only be reached from the mainland by going through another country or over a body of water other than a river or lake" on two counts. It's not necessary to go over a body of water (the tunnel goes under) and the body of water in question, the Western Scheldt, is only an estuary to the river Scheldt, and as a river is not a qualifying body of water.

	iamausername is correct, according to the definition I had listed, Greenland would be the mainland and Jutland borders Germany so I updated the definition to most populated since I don't want to argue that Greenland is Denmark's mainland, this also changes Malaysia, which is still included but now has its mainland and non-contiguous region reversed from what they originally were tahitiwahini - good catch with Llívia, I don't know what I was thinking with Spain bordering Spain, it's fixed The estuary of Western Scheldt is part of the river and not a separating body of water for this quiz

	Great quiz! How many bonuses are there in total?

	Daan:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 18:38 GMT	-2 points
	Shouldn't Saint-Martin be here for The Netherlands and/or France?

	diving:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 19:41 GMT	3 points
	joebobs - there are 14 bonuses total which are a mix of countries that have a territory that comes close to being included and territories that aren't included because they aren't an integral part of the country Daan - while the Dutch side is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the French side is an overseas collectivity (similar to overseas territories of the UK) rather than a department of France (like French Guiana) so St Martin does not count

	FedericoDeLaFe:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 03:33 GMT	1 point
	Should Equatorial Guinea be included? Bioko Island is arguably the main component of the country, and Rio Muni has borders with two nations.

	diving:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 03:48 GMT	2 points
	FedericoDeLaFe - Rio Muni (the continental part of Equatorial Guinea) has less than half the population of the country, but still has more than the largest island, Bioko (population around 125,000) so according to the definition used for the quiz it doesn't count

	Shouldn't UK be here because of Ireland?

	diving:	Feb 5th, 2011 at 17:04 GMT	2 points
	jelfire - The UK is on here (last European one) because of Ireland & is involved in 2 bonuses

	jelfire:	Feb 8th, 2011 at 16:15 GMT	2 points
	Sorry, must have missed that last night! (bingeing on Sporcle while in a caffeine-fuelled daze tends to make my eyes go funny...)

	Lyn_Marie:	Mar 3rd, 2011 at 22:35 GMT	1 point
	I, too, only saw the bonus pop up for UK and never noticed it in the regular answers. I kept thinking maybe I didn't understand the directions and read them two or three times over. I see it now! :)

	DunKhan:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 18:09 GMT	2 points
	I feel completely nerdy for getting every answer and over half of the bonuses and having it not be a matter of guesswork for some of the more obscure ones (Bangladesh/India UAE/Oman - look at a map of the second one btw, utterly bizzare - you have an enclave within an enclave there...). Anyway, this is an amazing quiz, if I could give it six stars I would.

	Thryduulf:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 22:17 GMT	1 point
	Well done for this quiz, it's accurate, interesting and informative. Although I could have done with another minute the time is probably right for the challenge. Not sure how I got Kyrgyzstan but missed Turkey!?

	Can someone explain why Saint Martin is not "integral"? It is part of France and the EU, it uses the euro, the people elect the President and deputies to the French and EU parliaments, they are French citizens, French law applies. So why is collectivity not integral, but department is integral?
