Maldives threw me for a while. I was straining to think of a Southeast Asian country I'd forgotten. I knew Singapore was about 1 degree north, I wondered if some outlying island of Malaysia or the Philippines dipped below. With Malaysia running south of Brunei, there was no chance it made it if Malaysia didn't.

Yes, and they're not overseas territory like the Falklands are for the UK, but they are actual France. If a southern rock counts for Sao Tome, two much larger rocks should count for France.

The instructions exclude overseas territories. If it didn't, we should also include the UK and Norway due to their claims in Antarctica.

It's not the same at all. Reunion and Mayotte are departements. If Hawaii were south of the equator, would the USA have been excluded from this quiz?

Yes, but overseas "territories, regions, departments, etc." are not included according to the caveat. Annobón is an overseas province of Equatorial Guinea, if Réunion is an overseas region of France.

I don't understand the concept. You include Equatorial Guinea because of Annobón which is integral part of this country located on the island far away from the mainland. You also exclude France while integral parts (Mayotte and Reunion) are below equator. When you are in Reunion you are in France, not in French Teritory. It's like Hawaii for USA, Galapagos for Ecuador and Canaries for Spain. What exactly made you accept Equatorial Guinea and decline France? What exactly is the difference in status of Annobón and Reunion/Mayotte?

Although well-covered above, this is true and succinctly-stated, but still hasn't been addressed.
