The only 2 countries that have double-digit (12) other countries as Antipodes. Brazil is 3rd with 9 antipodal countries. Indonesia has 8; Peru, USA & UK have 7 apiece.

Think it's a good question, so you could limit it to "Countries which are mostly on the *African* mainland, but the capital is on an island"

If you include Greenland, then Denmark is mostly on islands and is excluded. Just switch the two.

This is our source:

https://www.thenamegeek.com/first-name/georgia

Most likely mynamestats.com isn't accurate because it doesn't account for all the people named Georgia who have passed away. TheNameGeek, which I created, adjusts for deaths using actuarial tables.

Georgia is a female name not a male name. That's why it's not on here.

I'm pretty sure "Georgie" and "George" are male, and "Georgia" is female

is not a UN member or observer (Kosovo and Taiwan)
