Lampedusa should be accepted for the Pelagie islands as that is the commune the islands belong to. And what about the Bonin/Volcano/Ogasawara Islands in the Pacific/Oceania administered by Japan?

Nice quiz, but unfortunately the lack of type-Ins made me miss quite a few that I knew and tried.

Nice quiz, though some more type-ins would be appreciated. It's weird that Madeira and the Canary islands are present but the Azores aren't, as they have the same status.
