Can you accept Guam. At least I think it is Guam.

I believe Guam is the overseas US territory, so not a country in its own right, but USA is accepted for it.

Guam is a US territory, that's why the US answer is in red.

Actually, the U.S. is most likely in there for the Northern Marianas, which are closer than Guam by a hundred or so miles.

I'm guessing the U.S. is in there for Alaska (Aleutians).
TheCrusher

The Aleutians are not an overseas territory, though... So probably not what the quizmaster had in mind when adding the "red" comment.

Hawaii is a US State, not an overseas territory, and Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are closer to North Korea anyway.

Spelled is more standard in the USA, but spelt is more common in the UK (and generally considered acceptable everywhere, as far as I know).

I wish people would consider the well-known fact that English varies considerably between places before getting snooty about others' "errors".

@Kitsims, I'm an American (I love all countries tho, but not leaders such as Kim Jong-Un [sorry kim], and I'm NOT self centered, and I love all people, again, except for the obvious bad ones) and I use both Spelt and Spelled. The United States accepts both spelled and spelt. This is why I am learning so many different languages, and also, I might want to move to Australia or New Zealand when I get older (I want to visit every country except for DPRK) I love Indonesia and the Pacific Island Nations though, REALLY PRETTY COUNTRIES!

I didn’t realize that until after the fact. It is 3316 km from attu, so the Northern Mariana Islands (i think thats the US territory on this list) would be closer by about 200 miles
