The 2 Closest Neighbours of Island Dependencies (Pacific Ocean)

Nice one - I never really appreciated how far and wide Kiribati spreads until I took this quiz. Many of these aren't dependencies, but I guess that's as good a single word as any to group them all together! For example, Tokelau and American Samoa are territories, Easter Island is a part of Chile proper (like the Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands), and the Cook Islands and Niue are countries outright in free association with New Zealand (the same way that Palau and the Marshall Islands are in free association with the US). It might be an interesting quiz to match statuses to "dependencies"!
