Exceptions:

Ceuta, Melilla, the Canary Islands, Alboran Island, and the rest of the Plazas de soberanía are not included due to being constituent parts of Spain. French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Mayotte, Martinique, and Réunion fall under the same category but with France. There are some others that are similar (like the Galapagos or Insular Chile) that I won't mention because I don't want to mention every "Hawaii." I will still mention the Spanish and French ones though, due to being the most common complaints.

The Prince Edward Islands, Macquarie Island, and the New Zealand Subantarctic Islands are not their own division, but are directly controlled by a different division (like how Alaska controls the Near Islands). Nevertheless, I will still include them as they are in my source and people will complain.

Howland Island not Howard, also Martinique, Guadeloupe, Reunion, and Mayotte is equivalent to French Guiana and should not be included.

Also also, Macquarie Island, NZ Subantarctic Islands, and Prince Edward Island should not be included, as your source correctly states: "they are fully and legally integrated within the governance structure of the respective state"

Not sure how I screwed up so badly on Howland, but I've fixed all the issues.
