Aaargh! I tried about 10 different spellings of Huron except the right one.
Maybe accept Xanti for Xanthi? (Got it anyway, just a suggestion to help out others.)

Hyuron, Hurin, Hyurin, Hyurion, Hurion, Huroin, Hyuroin, Hureon, Huroen, Hurueon, then Huron!

I just had no idea how to spell it. Not sure if I really got it.

There are channel islands of France and the UK, too. Maybe the question could be specified.

Why? Are there French Channel Islands that are larger than Jersey?

"Holland as one of its regions" isn't a good clue for N because there is no region called Holland; only North Holland and South Holland.

North and South Holland are provinces. "Region" is a perfectly acceptable term for Holland.

"The great lakes" is a region of the US and Canada. It doesn't have to be a province or state.

Just like there's country called Korea, right?

Nice! I thought Akureyri was Iceland's second largest city but perhaps that's only if you consider urban area

Uruguay or Uzbekistan, that's what I expected.

You're right, U Nork would have been a much better choice.

i lived in Xanthi for a while, never heard anybody call it "of one thousand colours".

I was thinking of anything Greek sounding with an X. I would've tried Xanthia, but didn't need the A at the end. No idea why. Got lucky.

The term "Channel Islands" refers specifically to the archipelago off the coast of Normandy. The Isle of Wight is an island in the English channel, but not a Channel Island.

I put End for where the river meets the sea. It did not work. NOTE: This is a joke

PrinceEric

I tried "end" too, after apparently misspelling estuary, which was my first answer. I mean... "end" could definitely answer the question, yeah?
