Can you guess the territories and countries part of the 4 regions of Oceania?
For the purposes of this quiz, Hawaii (a state rather than a oversea territory) and West Papua (a region made up of several provinces) are excluded as well as Midway (an oversea territory owned by the US which is dubiously not included in any of the regions of Oceania by most maps despite often being grouped with the rest of Oceania)
It's more of a state than a country or oversea territory (same reason why I didn't include the multiple provinces on West Papua) so I just excluded it...
Wait, is there a small archipelago in the middle of nowhere called Disappointment Islands? Whose idea was it? Should I move there? So many questions...
The original version of the map you have linked in the comments would make for an amazing poster! I love how we have to guess the countries and territories to 'unlock' them and be able to see them on the quiz by the way :)
Midway, for the purposes of this quiz, lies outside the boundaries of the 4 regions that make up Oceania (Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia and Australasia), so I didn't include it. I'll probably make an update soon and include it on the map (since Wikipedia states that its part of Oceania), but not as a guessable answer.
OMG, I typed "Coral Islands" so many times. Nothing makes me want to punch my keyboard more than getting an answer right but not getting the exact nitpicky answer that the creator wanted.
especially appreciated the inclusion of the US minor outlying islands plus Ashmore & Cartier
The original map was way more detailed, but unfortunately the 600kb SVG limit meant I had to make changes...
Thanks for playing!
Great quiz btw
