That's right, this quiz is looking for the names of islands, not the countries that are on them.

Oceania? Which island is that? Australia can be treated as either a continent or island; on this quiz it is the former.

The most populous island that didn't get a Top 20 mention is the 4th most populous, Luzon, with 48 million people.

Yes. A surprising omission. Also New Guinea surprised me since it's so big as well.

UGGHHHH After I tried Sicily, I tried Corsica but it wasn't on there so I assumed Cyprus Malta and Crete weren't either.
