Hi! Dejima (Japan) seems to be missing. It is actually visible on the map (southwest side of Japan)

I'm pretty sure Germany needs to be added. Of course I don't know exactly until when this quiz goes back, but the current Dutch-German border around the Ems delta wasn't always as it is now, and several towns currently in Germany used to be part of the Dutch Republic until the early 17th century.
