	1) Why does it show "United" for United States of America? 2) Yellow on light green is extremely hard to read! Otherwise good job as usual. Quite easy :)

	Props for the cool Jamaican colors.

	Nicely done, as always you're the stickler for details! (Not meant sarcastically or critically, honest!)

	If you're going to include French Guiana why not Guyana?

	zeppelinoid:	Feb 9th, 2012 at 18:14 GMT		5 points
	@Probus: French Guiana (as France) is only a bonus answer. So is Guyana (and Suriname).

	How do you define West Indies? Isn't it any Caribbean island? If so, you would need to add Mexico (Cozumel), Honduras (Roatan Islands), Nicaragua (Miskito Cays), Colombia (Providencia and San Andres). There are also small islands just off the coasts of Costa Rica and Panama.

	@Snorcle: The West Indies are specifically the island chains that run from south of Florida (the Lucayan Archipelago) down through the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles (the Leeward and Windward Islands) and (possibly according to interpretation) back Westward along the Leeward Antilles (the islands to the North East of South America). If you look at the map these islands are quite distinct and very far distant from the islands you have mentioned which adjacent to the Central American coast. However; there is an older definition which included the whole of the coastline bordering the Caribbean Sea which originated from Columbus' erroneous belief that he had reached the Indies (Southern and South Eastern Asia).

	Wouldn't the Florida Keys also be considered part of the West Indies?

	@tbwilson: I do not think so. They are really just an extension of the continental mass. Have never seen them described as the West Indies.
