Thanks to all the people who pointed out errors in the previous version. This version uses a better methodology. I started with this geospatial data. Then I wrote a program to count the islands. This time I wrote additional code to filter out islands less than 10 square km in size. Finally, I checked Wikipedia to see if there were any missing islands. This increased the # of islands in Greece, although certain countries might still be missing islands. I think this quiz is mostly accurate now!

The title is "countries with the most islands" so why the 10 square km cut-off? According to this definition, the Maldives (with about 1,190 islands) has 0 islands. There can be difficulties determining the difference between islands and sandbars, for example, but the current cut-off is arbitrarily weird.

tshalla has a point. I was thinking many more of the Caribbean and Oceania countries would make this list - when in fact next to none did. Seems strange to only include islands of an arbitrary size.

Still enjoyed the quiz, don't get me wrong! I just wonder how the designation of 10 km was decided.

There has to be a cutoff somewhere. Otherwise, there could be millions of islands. Maybe even billions in areas where the land is near sea level. But the reason I chose 10 square kilometers is that the map I used included most islands of that size, but not necessarily smaller islands.

I also doubt that countries of Oceania or the Caribbean would appear on this quiz - no matter what the cutoff.

@tshalla your remark is very silly. It isnt said anywhere that they suddenly arent islands anymore, that is a weird thing to say and a very odd conclusion.

That is like, when someone says; "I counted all the girls in the room, besides the girls with coats on" And then you claim that the girls with coats on suddenly arent girls anymore?!? Just because he mentioned he didnt count the GIRLS with coats on (or ISLANDS with a size smaller than 10km2)

I am counting all the dogs, but not the dogs with spots. "OMG he is saying that dogs with spots arent dogs !!!!!"

totally makes no sense...

The title is "countries with the most islands". The Maldives is an island nation (there are about 1,200 of them, by most counts) with no islands larger than 5 square kms. So, it's weird to think that in a quiz with that title, the Maldives have no islands by that criterion. A simple solution would be to fix the title: "most large islands" As for girls in a room, well, if the quiz title was "number of girls in the room", then I suppose it would be weird not to count the ones with coats on.

"Countries with the Most Islands Over 10 Square Kilometers" is a bad title. The caveats explain the criteria and the definition being used. You need such a criteria and definition in order for such a quiz to be possible to make. This isn't hard to figure out. And, again, if you think that if you count every islet, atoll, cay and sand bar then suddenly the Maldives is going to have more islands than Canada you are an idiot. Lower the standard for what constitutes an island and the totals for every country will increase.

Please reference where I suggested that the Maldives had more islands than Canada. On the other hand, it doesn't look like you know what an atoll is, given the list you put it in. It still won't reduce me to name calling, but there it is.
kalbahamut

Level 83
May 6, 2019
I don't have the power to reduce you any further. I know what an atoll is, maybe you do not. Of course the cut-off is arbitrary. It has to be. And depending on where you place the cutoff the ordering would change. But have you found any lists where the Maldives is listed as having more islands than Mexico (or Canada)? I can't actually find any lists that include data on Mexico or Brazil. Different countries have different definitions of what constitutes an island and some have no good data at all so unless you did some independent research on the subject and want to offer that as an alternative, your complaint is not helpful. What size would you use for your own arbitrarily weird cut-off, and where is the data set we could use that consistently applies that standard to all countries in the world and doesn't just go off of inconsistent tourism board statistics taken from each different country?

by the way:

at·oll

noun

a ring-shaped reef, ISLAND, or chain of islands formed of coral.

Origin: MALDIVIAN

early 17th century: from Maldivian atoḷu.

Many if not most of the Maldives islands are atolls. It's where the word comes from. Look at a map. And realize that to get to their very inflated 1000+ figure they tout on tourism sites, they are indeed counting basically every little sandbar.

Thanks for the lesson about my second home. I like this start: "Many if not most of the Maldives islands [sic] are atolls." Demonstrably false. "It's where the word comes from." Yup. It's a Dhivehi word that referred originally only to administrative units and has only been adapted more recently (thanks partly to Darwin's use of the Maldives for his theory of atoll formation) to describe the physical geographic aspect common elsewhere. "And realize that to get to their very inflated 1000+ figure they tout on tourism sites, they are indeed counting basically every little sandbar." Wrong again (that's a strikeout). The 1,190 and 1,200 numbers long predate tourism (which began in 1972) and were come to by overseas geographers, rather than the tourism board that you suggest. Islands without trees are excluded from the figure. Oh yeah, "look at a map"? How about the 3' x 6' one I've got here in my office? The one that names each island? One like that?

May 8, 2019
Calling me wrong when I'm not wrong doesn't make me wrong. You can't even admit when you're wrong, can you? A small ring-shaped coral island is an atoll. A group of small coral islands in a ring shape is also an atoll. I posted the definition that clearly shows I was right to include it in my list. An adult would admit that I was correct and that it was rude and incorrect of them to be condescending in response. You're welcome for the lesson. I'm sorry you failed to learn anything from it. I can't see the map in your office but if it doesn't show many VERY tiny atoll-shaped islands, then my best guess is that you've accidentally hung up your Long John Silver's kids placemat. Anyone else is free to go to google maps right now, zoom in to the Maldives, and see that I'm right. Maybe start by poking around the neighborhood of the Four Seasons.

This page (https://worldpopulationreview.com/geography/how-many-islands-are-there-in-the-world) by worldpopulationreview.com estimates there being 11,000 inhabited islands and 670,000 total (based on 2020 data from satellite imagery). Presumably they ignore tidal sandbars and rocks below a few square metres, although they don't explicitly say the minimum. Not millions for each country, but also not including any caribbean countries (or the Maldives).

If you treat Cook Islands and Niue as territories of NZ, rather than countries, then New Zealand makes this list with 39 islands! There are 32 in NZ proper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_of_New_Zealand), another 6 in the Cook Islands (Rarotonga, Mangaia, Aitutaki, Atiu, Mauke and Mitiaro), plus the island of Niue itself.

Quite right, here is a quote from Wikipedia about the archipelago Sea:

"If the number of smallest uninhabitable rocks and skerries is accounted, 50,000 is probably a good estimate. In comparison, the number of islands in Canadian Arctic Archipelago is 36,563. Indonesia has 17,508 islands, and The Philippines have 7,107 islands."

According to your comments, either you cant read, or well something else is going on, but dont want to be too rude.

when someone says "islands smaller than 10km2 are excluded" and you accuse them of saying that those arent islands, something goes very wrong in your logic.

In an amusement park when it says girls shorter than 1.20m arent allowed in this ride. Would you complain to the owner of the park and accuse him of claiming that girls under 1.20m arent girls? sounds preposterous right?

(PS I changed it to girls instead of kids, because well it is not universally agreed upon what ages you are considered a kid)

zack22

I think tshalla's logic is that the title of the quiz just says islands, but then only counts islands of a certain criteria. It would be like a quiz saying "countries with most girls", but only counting girls over a certain height, and then someone saying "are you saying shorter girls aren't girls!?".

Personally, I can see the logical jump. (but I don't think there is anything wrong with the title or methodology)

Here is some information you might want to take into consideration for your next version of this quiz:

6.000 islands

Greece has 6.000 islands in total, scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, of which only 227 are inhabited. They take up 7,500 km of the country's total 16,000 km coastline. Spreading in two main seas, the Aegean and the Ionian Sea, the Greek islands are divided into smaller groups.

Therefore, even if you were to use only the 227 islands that are INHABITED -- it would put Greece up near the top.

Yes, the swedish wiki page listes the biggest 50. The smallest of them is 22km2.

Most swedish islands are small. But many are big.

Also, what kind of logic is that. Do you think all islands are the same size? most are may be half a football field or smaller. thousands are 5-10 football fields. And with som many islands, a large number of the are bound to be larger than 10km2. The once mentioned in the wikipedia are just some of them.

Some. I found several lists that suggest Sweden has at least 20 islands bigger than 50 square km. But I haven't found a list that names and sizes more than 20. Have you?

India seems to be missing on this list. From my own research based on this article, I can safely say that India has more than 40 islands of area 10 sq km or larger. I have manually counted the minimum number of islands which could prove that India belongs in the top 20.

The exact number of islands could be much larger, since I didn't check the area of all the islands in the list. The majority (~35) of such islands are found in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. I know this would be hard, but please update the quiz with the inclusion of India in the next update.

Sweden has 267,570 islands. But I guess it's not even close to the list.

See my comment above. It would depend on the cutoff but going down to some small size of island (cutoff not clear) the link in my comment has Sweden at #2 overall with 222,000 islands. This quiz is about 10km^2 and above.

I feel like the 10km limit mark can easily be avoided by google searching the number of islands for each country.

That isn't necessarily very accurate and doing so will probably end up making a quiz from different sources, which may be inconsistent with one another (like being from different dates).
