Good. It's wrong to consider azores as an overseas territory of Portugal, though. It's just one of their ordinary island regions, like Canary or Balearic islands for Spain or Hawaii for the USA.

Sorry for nitpicking.

Not nitpicking - I think this is an important distinction! People need to understand that just because parts of a country are geographically distant, that doesn't automatically mean they're an overseas territory. Hawaii is a good example.

What makes something an overseas territory is the constitutional and governance set up, not an arbitrary distance.

I was typing Denmark, accidentally typed "DR", got credit for Dominican Republic (which I would have gotten anyway), and subsequently forgot Dominica, because I always type it together with Dominican Republic. And there went my perfect score!

Don't want to be a kill joy, but Bermuda is an Overseas Territory, which isn't classed as part of the United Kingdom.

I think both of those are further away than Nicaragua, but Serranilla Bank (an uninhabited reef that's claimed by Columbia) is definitely closer.

Look at all the warm countries nearest to Maine.

And Greenland.

There that's more like Maine.

I got a little misled by that fact that the West coast of Africa is the closest bit east of Maine, but still managed to get all but one.

Am I the only one having issues with the cursor not staying in the text box? It seems like with each refresh of the ads, I have to keep clicking into the text box and it's making this almost unplayable anymore. If anyone else is aware of this issue, can you recommend anything to remedy it?
