Well, this will need to be updated early 2016, as there will be an administrative change in the number of regions, with agregations of some... Wait and see ;-)

You could also add the overseas collectivities, such as "Saint Pierre and Miquelon".

I was trying St. Martin...

Boy, I tried Vendee, Dordogne, Elzas, but apparently they are just geographical regions...

Vendée and Dordogne are "départements". There are 101 départements, several in each region. Vendée is in Pays de Loire, and Dordogne in Aquitaine. Elzas is probably Elsass, in alsacian dialect, and Alsace in french. Alsace is really a region (one of the smallest, with only 2 départements), but you mispelled it. I think St Martin is an overseas territory.

"Régions" does not simply mean "areas" here, but refers to a specific term. The equivalent of "name the 50 states of the USA".

Guadeloupe and French Guiana are overseas regions of France. They have the same status as Mainland France in Europe. Meanwhile, St. Pierre and Miquelon is part of French Overseas Collectivities. They have different status, and they enjoy high autonomy.

New Caledonia is an autonomous country under French sovereignty, with its own government, institutions, and citizenship (New Caledonians are both Caledonian and French citizens). French Polynesia is an Overseas Collectivity, with more autonomy than the Overseas Region and proper institutions and government, but there is still a "Haut Commissaire de la République" (a governor) who rules in the name of the French State, so it's not an autonomous country like NC is. But both aren't French regions as the overseas regions fully are. Still, like the others Overseas Territories (the likes of Wallis and Futuna or St Pierre and Miquelon), they have deputies at the Assemblée Nationale in Paris.

I always wonder do you have some sort of planboard where you write all of this down? Must be quite a big administration! (Besides the making of quizzes the research beforehandand dealing with all the nitpickers,) keeping track of which quiz will need to be updated when!

Now I imagine a room where all the walls are covered with printouts and rough draughts of quizzes, Wikipedia pages, population charts, pieces if string going from one subject to another. And piles of encyclopedia all around the room ofcourse. One wall dedication to charts and satelite images. Another with graphs number and pie-charts.

Ok I'll stop now, it is turning into a movie haha. I could see it vividly :) ooo and ofcourse, winding between the bookpiles a tiny track for a little train, which can bring in drinks and snacks :D

I didn't know about this reorganization. It's barbarous. How can you scrap regions like Champagne or Lorraine or Alsace or the Pays d'Oc? It's worse than the Local Govt Act 1972 in England and Wales, and that's saying something. The sooner it's reversed the better.

They still haven't got Brittany right. The historic capital Nantes/Naoned and the rest of the Loire-Atlantique departement has been stuck in Pays de la Loire since the regions were established.

It makes no sense though, it isn't named like this for "being the middle of Loire", it's named like this for being a fusion of "Centre" (meaning the middle of France), and "Val de Loire".

It's as absurd as asking for "The North in Carolina" to be counted as North Carolina on a US states quiz...

EXPLANATION OF QUIZ:

This is of the regions of France, which are similar to US states or Canadian provinces. The overseas regions are governed as part of France, similar to how Hawaii and Alaska are governed as part of the USA, and there are six territories similar to Puerto Rico or Guam:

New Caledonia 🇳🇨

French Polynesia 🇵🇫

Wallis and Futuna 🇼🇫

Saint-Martin 🇲🇫

Saint-Pierre and Miquelon 🇵🇲

Saint Barthelemy 🇧🇱.

These are not regions, these are territories.
