Nice idea, but if you include territories should you not also include Antarctic territories?

Hmm, that is an interesting point. To be honest though I'm not exactly sure where to find accurate information on that. The source I had used for this quiz was from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_southernmost_point). If anyone knows of a better list I would be happy to update this quiz.
