There are 1156 first-level administrative divisions on the continent of Europe. To turn one green, name any subdivision within 400km (248.5mi) of its borders.
Start by naming any country that France borders. Then name any country that borders any of those countries. Then keep going until there are no more countries left to name.
Nice quiz. However I have a few points to bring up:
1. It's Peter I Island (an overseas territory of Norway), NOT Peter Island. The latter is a part of British Virgin Islands.
2. Why did you clump "Baker and Howland Islands" together but NOT for other islands in the US Minor Outlying Islands? I mean, you could just separate those two into Baker Island AND Howland Island. And what about Bajo Nuevo Bank and Serranilla Bank?
3. You should allow other spellings/writings for some of your entries such as:
- Coral Sea Islands (instead of Coral Sea Islands Territory)
- Heard Island and McDonald Islands
- South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
- Western Sahara (for Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic)
- Madeira (instead of Madeira Islands)
- Midway Atoll (instead of Midway Islands)
4. It's Abkhazia, NOT Abhkazia
5. If Azores & Madeira (Portugal) can make this list, then why not Ceuta & Melilla (Spain)? Esp. since Canary Islands, another autonomous region of Spain, also make the cut.
