Westernmost Countries

Similar to your other quiz I'm wondering why you didn't include France due Tahiti or French Polynesia.

Why aren't the Chatham Islands considered Overseas Territories of New Zealand?

Because it's a direct part of the country of New Zealand and operates as a territorial authority.

Colombia has Malpelo Island which is roughly south of the Costa Rica - Panama border.

It feels a bit odd that inhabitated rocks in the sea are considered to be essential parts of a country but oversea territories such as Tahiti do not count. Just said.

I think you meant uninhabitated

The galapagos are part of Ecuador, which reach out as west as Guatemala. Peru, while similar to Ecuador on the mainland continent, does not have something like the galapagos. Edit for French2010's comment: That, I do not know. I don't know about Columbia, my comment was directed to rohfi.

Easter Island is a 'province' of Chile and the Galapagos are a 'province' of Ecuador, which both equate to something like a 'county' in the USA I think? A subdivision of a region or state. French Polynesia isn't administratively part of the départements of France in that sort of way.

New zealand has land that far west (far east..) really? I wasnt aware of that.

Now have this image of them peeping around the corner (of the map) haha ( and now of a cat trying to look behind a mirror.. :D I know, my mind works in mysterious ways ;) )

Honduras stretches slightly further west than the western border of Belize. I think the order needs to be switched

you would be correct i just checked

If you don't include anything overseas, then you shouldn't include Easter Islands and the Galapagos. Be consistent, please.

For some reason, it only includes overseas territories of European countries in the description.

*Excludes.

The Galapagos Islands are not overseas territories, but an overseas province. In essence, Galapagos is like Hawaii and Tahiti for example is like Puerto Rico. I hope you know the difference.

Peru?

I am pondering the validity of this quiz. Among South American countries, Ecuador and Peru must be the two westernmost...

And Easter Island in Chile.

OH MY GOD! It took me 2 minutes to realize which direction 'west' is

"Not including overseas territories and departments of European countries" And why not ? :( Quizzes always exclude them (cuz people think it's hard)

guess New Zealand is because of Guam?

chatham islands. guam is a US territory, silly
