Cool quiz, I enjoyed it.

Perhaps you could have a clearer definition of "British" in the description?

Technically Belfast, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Falklands are not part of Great Britain. They could be described as "British" since they are all possessions of the crown however.

I see your point, but I think it is pretty clear already. These places are all ‘British’ in common parlance. The Falklands, Gibraltar etc. are ‘British’ Overseas Territories, and I think most people would accept Belfast being described as British as well as Northern Irish or Irish. While ‘British’ can have the narrower meaning of ‘on the island of Great Britain’, that isn’t its only meaning.

I agree. As a foreigner I understood British as meaning "belonging to the UK". That's how we use it normally.

"Dévonien" is Devonian, not Devon.

According to Google Translate, it can mean both Devon and Devonian.

I can garantee you Dévonien does not mean the Enflish county of Devon.
