You do associate Bosnia, Syria and Montenegro with Mediterranean? (Of the african countries)

I actually only associate Italy and greece (well and malta and cyprus but dont immediately think about those) with it... and I missed greece hahaha (and cyprus... called it crete...)

You said it yourself. It is an overseas territory that does NOT make up part of the the UK. Unlike Hawaii is a part of the USA and Fremch Guiana is a part of France, The UK DOES NOT include overseas territories.

The United Kingdom is the country. (See Wikipedia) and they also have the British overseas department - which is what Gilbraltar is.

But seriously, you could just google this before commenting something that can be riven wrong quite easily

I got 100%, but if we want to get technical, most of the former Yugoslavia (Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro) borders the Adriatic or Ionian at best, not the Mediterranean proper. However, it fits into the theme I suppose.

(I ve only been up a few minutes.. and cant exactly call it awake..) maybe it not being accepted wasnt weird to me because of all the cyprus isnt in europe stuff... and I just accepted that it wasnt accepted...

It is sometimes unclear how "Mediterranean Sea" is defined. Bosnia, Slovenia, and Montenegro technically border the Adriatic Sea, not the Med. Yes, the Adriatic is an arm of the Mediterranean, but in that case, so is the Black Sea, which adds another group of countries.

An answer to my own query:

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) divides the Mediterranean into a number of smaller waterbodies, each with their own designation (from west to east):[36]

the Strait of Gibraltar;

the Alboran Sea, between Spain and Morocco;

the Balearic Sea, between mainland Spain and its Balearic Islands;

the Ligurian Sea between Corsica and Liguria (Italy);

the Tyrrhenian Sea enclosed by Sardinia, Italian peninsula and Sicily;

the Ionian Sea between Italy, Albania and Greece;

the Adriatic Sea between Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania;

the Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey.
