You missed Equatorial-Guinea, Uruguay, Morocco and many others, you could use this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_Portuguese_Empire

Another quiz about the portuguese empire shows malawi as part of it in 1822. Also, can China be acceptable for Macau as well? It is for most quizzes.

You should add Japan also. The Portuguese held sea ports there, until they got kicked by Tokugawa shogunate out of the country.

Hmm... My sources at least don't verify this. It is true that the Portuguese helped found certain Japanese ports, and had an extensive trade system with them, but as for definite holdings, I can't add Japan until I'm certain.

Macau is currently an autonomous region of China. In my opinion, that does not warrant a separate entry.
