Good quiz - but your colour scheme doesn't seem to be working.

My observations: Trinidad & Tobago. Trinidad obviously geographically S America but Tobago arguably in North. I note the exclusion of Overseas territories but it is not always clear to me what the definition is. France doesn't regard French Guiana as an Overseas Territory so should France not be included? Your explanation about why Spain is included should also mention the Canary islands
