Good morning. Seychelles and Mauritius both use rupees as their currency, and both are more southern than Sri Lanka.

Aren't the Canary Islands more southern than Greece?

If I'm not mistaken those would not classify as overseas territories as they have the same status as all the other Autonomous Communities on the Iberian peninsula. Or perhaps you're counting that part of Spain as actually being part of Africa??

Thanks!

Canary Islands are a part of Spain in the same way that Hawaii is part of the US

Exactly. That's a good comparison for all the Americans lol.

So my question still stands. Is it because the Canary Islands are being considered part of Africa? To continue your analogy, it would be much like how one may consider Hawaii to be a part of Oceania rather than N. America

Though buck1017 brings up a good point in a comment below as France is even more southernly. Though the argument that that isn't European territory but rather S. America is much stronger.

French Guiana enters the chat after all the times it's used as a trick question in South America as an integral part of France.

So how is France explained away as not being the southernmost European country. Since French Guyana is in South America does it not count as being part of Europe even though it's part of France, which IS European? I was trying to get tricky with that one and first put Spain because some of it is in Africa, then i tried France.

Both Iran and China had parts of them invaded by the Soviets during WWII, unless that clue refers to the entire country being occupied

How is it possible that the French land in the south Pacific (New Caledonia, French Polynesia) doesn't make it more southerly than Greece?

1. They're not departments

2. Even if they were, they're not in Europe

Australia's southernmost point is at the Bishop and Clerk Islets off Macquarie Island, Tasmania at 55⁰03'S. As noted, Macquarie Island is part of the State of Tasmania, and not an overseas territory. This causes issues for both the third and fourth questions.

True, probably not originally considered because it's over water, but it should be changed to that because it's not over sea (the maritime border extends throughout the way to Tasmania) meaning you could easily argue it's not overseas.

Angola actually withdrew its OPEC membership January 1st of this year, so I think the right answer should be the Republic of the Congo instead.

it was recently an option so, like when they do spelling reforms, the old and new options are both technically true.

whad do you mean Greece is "considered european country by jetpunk". What does everybody else consider Greece to be part of? Please explain what your comment is based on.

The question is phrased this way so that people don't try to type in Cyprus, Turkey or whatever else they think may count as Europe but isn't considered an European country by jetpunk.
