Geography General Knowledge #9

Finland probably has the most islands in Europe. Sweden and Norway also have tens, if not hundreds of thousands of islands. All depends on what you call an island though, which is really not straightforward, but by any measure those three countries have many more than Greece.

Yes, I started to write Michigan until, mid-typing of word, I re-read Mormon and had to back up and re-type the correct answer.

Alternatively, you could say "which Greek island is partially occupied by a Turkish faction".

Does saying that moussaka is a Greek dish imply that it's under the control of the Greek government?

Governments do not generally control food dishes, though they do, on occasion, control areas of land. Calling a Cyprus a "Greek island" does not necessarily mean it is part of the nation of Greece, but it is by no means unreasonable for the phrase to be interpreted in that way. At best, it would create an unnecessary ambiguity in the clue. Most likely, it would be positively misleading. Personally, given that clue, I would run through the admittedly short list of islands in Greece that I know, and when none of them worked, conclude that the answer is one of the many others I don't know.

If "Greek islands" includes Cyprus, how do you refer to just the islands that the are part of the nation of Greece? "The islands that are a part of the nation of Greece" seems rather a mouthful.

Half of the streets, bridges, and airports of France are named "Charles de Gaulle", so people often tend to call things by their former name. "Place Charles de Gaulle" in Paris remains more commonly referred to as "place de l'Etoile", even by people who wouldn't be born for decades when the name change was made.
