perhaps 'not sanctioned' can sound ambiguous (as in 'not punished') to non native speakers

It's somewhat ambiguous to native English speakers as well. Changed "sanctioned" to "accepted".

Can the part without the saint e.g. simply 'Lucia' be accepted for that question? Also for the overseas territory question 'border' should be pluralised and the territory has one too many 'l's.

Cool quiz nonetheless!

Vincent, Lucia, and Kitts will work now. Also fixed the plural thing, but no idea what you are talking about regarding too many L's. Cool comment anyway!

It's not to many "L"s. It's actually one "R" to many in "Territory" in the British Overseas Territories question :)

They could, but there aren’t any, so it would be a rather pointless addition.

There's no land border between the Virgin Islands (a British Overseas Territory) and the Virgin Islands of the United States (a Territory of the United States). They're within the same archipelago, but none of the islands are shared.

Great quiz but as it's not mentioned that overseas territories are excluded, France and the UK should be valid answers that touch both the Indian and Pacific Oceans !

No France and the UK do not the over seas territories are not a full part of the united kingdom

The British Overseas Territories (BOTs), also known as United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), are fourteen territories all with a constitutional and historical link with the United Kingdom. They are the last remnants of the former British Empire and do not form part of the United Kingdom itself.

It's easy if you are athletics fan, so you know Kim Collins, the most famous person of his country. He was the World Champion in 100 m in ... ehmmm, it's true? 20+ years ago, in 2003? :o

It was so surprising that the athletics family remembers until today. Since this time I know St. Kitts and Nevis.
