French Guiana is apart of France as much as Alaska is apart of the United States. Morocco borders Spain due to the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, located on the Northern Coast of Africa, Bordering Morocco.

Stumped on the last few until I remembered French Guiana (which had caught me out on some previous quizzes) and for some reason it took me ages to think of Norway. Great quiz.

You beat me to it! I was going to make this quiz. Good job. And @HER, being in the EU does not mean they are on the Euro. Hey, there's a quiz I can do!

Monaco may use the Euro but is not a member state of the EU it just has agreements in place with it.

@JoAnBe - good point, except shillings were phased out with decimalisation the small matter of 40 years ago. Pounds and pence :)

Ah, I see. Consider me pwned. I was thinking in terms of using EU currency and not which countries are considered EU countries.

Shillings? How ignorant can you be? jhoule EU stands for European Union - an oraganisation. Euro is the name of the currency used in many countries in Europe.

Btw, you could add as bonus some unconventional answers like Northern part of Cyprus and The Antarctic territories (i.e. New Zealand, Australia, MayB Chile and Argentina. But I don't know if it's very interesting and correct ...

Some quizzes, I've noticed, accept "FYROM" (short for Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the country's official name) for Macedonia. This one doesn't. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; I'm just saying that there ought to be a standard (though I'd like it to be to accept FYROM; it's a nice shorthand).

Okay, seriously, boneking asked a legitimate question. Just because you and I know the answer doesn't mean you or I should vote down his comment. If someone asks a question in a calm and respectful way, answer the question and vote his comment up. Don't just ignore it and vote it down.
