I think the idea is that it's the largest island for each country only. This should be made clearer.

The quiz isn't largest islands, it's countries with the largest islands. No countries can repeat, otherwise I'm sure Canada, Japan, Indonesia, etc, would dominate this list.

immigrant_punk is correct, that was the idea. I'm not sure how to convey that point across better than the title it has now, but I'm open to suggestions. I'll rename the island category and see if that clears things up.

Very interesting. I didn't realize New Caledonia was that big.

Hmm, I don't think New Caledonia should count. It doesn't count towards the size of France in other countries. While Greenland is represented in the Danish government and is considered part of the country per se, New Caledonia is a territory.

Northern Ireland is part of the UK so the island of Ireland has two countries on it.

@bsd987: Regardless, New Caledonia is still an island large enough to be on this list and since it is not a sovereign country, France would be the country it is part of.

Surely Australia mainland is the largest island in Australia? Great idea!
