	Why except French Guiana?

	Technically French Guiana is officially just called Guyane, and is "an overseas region of France." So, just to avoid any pedantic confusion, I didn't go there.

	intric8 - Regions are 1st level administrative units (similar to US states, Canadian provinces, etc). France has 27 regions: 22 are in Europe called 'Metropolitan Regions' or 'Metropolitan France' (Brittany, Upper & Lower Normandy, Burgundy, etc) and 5 are outside of Europe called 'Overseas Regions' (including French Guiana - known as Guyane in French). The difference between Metropolitan & Overseas Regions is similar to the difference between contiguous and non-contiguous states, in other words, not much, so I think it would be inaccurate to exclude France.

	@diving - so, you would have put France as a country bordering Brazil? Interesting. I can't help but wonder if I had put French Guiana as a country bordering Brazil that I would have been flamed/down-voted for that, too. Ah well...

	French Guiana is an "overseas region" of France like Hawaii is an "overseas state" of the US. That is to say, Hawaii is treated no differently from say Oklahoma, and French Guiana is treated no differently from say Lower Brittany: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_region Yes, you'll upset some people no matter what you do, but isn't that really an argument for doing the right thing, the reaction from critics be damned. Merely ask the critics of including French Guinana to point out how a French citizen living in French Guiana is legally treated differently by the French government from a French citizen living in Lower Brittany.

	@intric8 You would have been voted down if you said French Guiana was a bordering country of Brazil as the former isn't the name of a country (whereas France is the correct name). West Papua is part of Indonesia. Yet the fact that is shares the island of New Guinea with Papua New Guinea doesn't stop it being part of Indonesia.

	Sporcle standard is that French Guiana is an integral part of France. Not including France as an answer here makes this quiz incorrect per Sporcle standards.

	My main problem is that you didn't do your sporcle research before posting this quiz. If you had, you would have seen how redundant the topic is, how many times the French Guyana discussion has occurred, what the sporcle standard is, and that you should really should have used a better source. New blood in quizmaking is always good, so don't give up, but please look over the site more first. The level of geographic knowledge here always impresses me.

	If any integral part of a country borders another integral part of a country, the two share an international border. Like Alaska bordering the Yukon ---> US bordering Canada, Guyane bordering Amapa ---> France bordering Brazil.
