An island nation should be one with no borders with other countries i.e. Iceland, because things like Indonesia aren't islands if they have borders like Papau New Guinea.

The United kingdom isn't an island. Ireland is an island.

The two biggest islands in the British isles are Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain and Ireland are both geographical terms.

The United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are all political terms.

This was surprisingly hard, and I say this as a guy who knows his world geography. I really struggled to earn 5 points for this one, and it wasn't because of a lack of knowledge. Even if you know all 47, it gets quite hard when you've typed the first 40 or so and then your brain tries to figure out which ones you haven't typed yet.

Anyone else confused as to why UK, Ireland, Indonesia, East Timor, etc. are on this quiz? It says countries that are entirely islands, not countries that are not directly connected to a continent. When I read, "entirely islands," I interpreted that as countries that share no land border with another country. I guess I need to be more familiar with what an "island" is.

This is a common misconception. Although embassies and consulates are commonly referred to as "home soil," and considered the property of the represented country, the Vienna Convention does not state that the property is territory of the embassy's country. Just as a private citizen can own land that is still part of their country, an embassy or consulate is owned by a foreign nation, but with the added stipulation that the governing law on that property is that of the foreign state.

Excellent quiz but there is one technical error given the rules set out by yourself: the UK is not a country entirely located on an island/s, since the British overseas possession of Gibraltar is part of the U.K. And Gibraltar has a land border with Spain. So the UK by that definition is not technically all on an island.

Yes, Gibraltar is British, but its status is only as a British Overseas Territory, which is not the integral part of the UK. They are not the same. The UK is still located entirely on islands.

Brunei is located on the island of Borneo. The fact that Malaysia has territory on both Borneo and the mainland is irrelevant to whether or not Brunei is located entirely on an island.

Brunei is not “part of Malaysia”. It is a country, not a territory. Some islands can share a border with a territorial region of a country that has its main region on the mainland. Just because this can happen does not mean it is not an island. It is technically surrounded by water, even if it has a border. Because that is also surrounded by water.

Bahrain is only connected to Saudi Arabia from a bridge because it makes it easier for people to get to Bahrain and back. Therefore it is not geographically connected to Saudi Arabia.

UK has Gibiltair, so it isn't an insular country, Australia what does it has to do with islands?

But despite having several overseas territories, the country UK itself is located on an island (well technically 2: "Great Britain" for England, Scotland, and Wales and "Ireland" for Northern Ireland). Its land mass is not connected to continental Europe thus it deserves to be on this list.

Australia, despite being acknowledged as a continent, can also be considered an island as well (a very huge singular island, at that) thus why it's also mentioned here.

It says on the description: "...lies entirely on an island" so Denmark is out of the question since its mainland is still attached to continental Europe. The same goes to other countries e.g. Malaysia, USA, Canada, Norway, Sweden, etc which, despite possessing/inhabiting separate islands and/or overseas territories, the mainland are still attached to a continent.

New Zealand is on the list. It's on #7 after the Philippines and before UK.

Because Greenland is way larger than continental Denmark, in a way, isn't Greenland an island country with a small overseas territory on a continental landmass (Denmark)?

In the case of Australia, I really don't think society should consider a country not to be an island or entirely composed of islands just because it's a continent.
