Good quiz but i missed 'Ecuador' because the Galapagos Islands were still showing (just) they should have been knocked over with Ecuador's square.

Only if you guessed Ecuador. The Galapagos are clearly in their own square so there's no reason that square should go green unless you actually give Ecuador as an answer.

Great idea for a quiz! Should France count for the square containing Mauritius, or not? Currently it's listed as one of the answers, but doesn't actually light it up. I'n the case of France I'm not really sure where the line between overseas regions and overseas territories is drawn, but it seems like Réunion has a better claim to be included than New Caledonia does.

Thanks, not sure why that was in there. I have removed New Caledonia and added Mayotte to be consistent, meaning only overseas regions are accepted now.

Same here. I was looking all over the map for a square that wasn't colored - didn't think about Oceania crossing over to the western side of the map - saw it just before time ran out.

The colour difference between guessed and not guessed could be more clear. Especially squares with a lot of water are not clearly visible. And there is a square with a small part of Gabon in it that should be nr 125.

Portugal should indeed be in the square left of Iberia (Greater Lisbon and Azores). Both Spain and Portugal should work for the square SW of Iberia due to Madeira and the Canaries. The islands aren't visible on the map, but they're still there.

Also, if overseas territories aren't counted - why does the Antilles trigger for USA? Neither Puerto Rico nor USVI are states.
