Nice but there are a few mistakes: Afghanistan's biggest neighbour is China, France's biggest neighbour is Brazil, and Malaysia's biggest neighbour is Indonesia.

Well, Brazil's not included since French Guiana is considered "territories and such", but you're absolutely right about Afghanistan and Malaysia. I changed those countries last minute and obviously wasn't thinking much ;) Thanks for pointing it out , I 'll fix it :D

It is a common misconception to think of France's overseas departments as territories especially since the European part of France has a special name: Metropolitan France. However, this term is equivalent to here in Australia where we sometimes use the term 'mainland Australia' to exclude Tasmania (and a few islands) but, I assume you, Tasmania is an integral part of Australia and so is France's overseas departments an integral part of France.

French Guiana is not a territory its a department of France. Saying you are not including it basically means that you shouldn't included Norhern Ireland, Alaska, Hawaii, and Kaliningrad. So either remove UK as a question or make Brazil the correct answer.

Wikipedia says it's a territory and I don't take orders.

"French Guiana (pronounced /ɡiːˈɑːnə/ or /ɡiːˈænə/, French: Guyane française; French pronunciation: ​[ɡɥijan fʁɑ̃sɛz]), officially called Guiana (French: Guyane), is an overseas department and region of France" Copied straight from Wikipedia. What does wikipedia recognize it as again?

All the official area and population for the France page takes French Guiana as an official part of France. The section called Admistrative Divisions says it is a part of France.

"Among the 101 departments of France, five (French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and Réunion) are in overseas regions (ROMs) that are also simultaneously overseas departments (DOMs), enjoy exactly the same status as metropolitan departments and are an integral part of the European Union." I literally am struggling to find this section that states it is a territory, please tell me exactly where to find it.
