After the three big ones, I first use ending letters, then name lengths: Tonga and Samoa, Fiji and Kiribati, Palau and Nauru, Vanuatu and Tuvalu (which are almost anagrams of each other), Marshall/Solomon Islands, with Micronesia the third big island group.
I do PNG Australia New Zealand (big 3) then I do Fiji Samoa Tonga (3 off to the side) then Tuvalu Vanuatu Nauru (3 that rhyme) followed by Marshall Islands and Solomon Islands (both names have islands) and lastly Kiribati FSM Palau (3 stretching east west) It might sound complicated but for me it works!
I do it with a song called "Tour the World" by Marbles the brain store. The song basically goes 'Palau, Nauru, Tonga, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Australia, these are the places I wanna meet ya, lets go to Micronesia. These are the pacific islands, Fiji islands, Marshall Islands, Vanuatu and Tuvalu. Don't forget New Zealand. PNG is gorgeous, Kiribati is also known as Kiribus.

Nice quiz, but shouldn't the instructions say "most southerly in latitude" rather than "lowest in latitude"? "Lowest" means closest to zero, ie closest to the equator, like Singapore.
That's basically exactly what it says in the instructions but a little more vague. I bet most people would get how the quiz works by reading the instructions, but thanks for giving me feedback. I always appreciate it!
Take a map of the Earth, and a ruler. Place the ruler at the bottom of the map, and then move it northwards. When you start, all countries are north of the ruler; as you proceed, one by one they will move south of the ruler. The first ones to do that are the ones you want.
Sorry, but I don't think capitalizing or not capitalizing "with" is that important, I know in most of my quizzes it is not capitalized, but it is not worth editing a featured quiz just to change the capitalization of one word.
Yes, its southernmost point is far south, but this quiz is not measuring that. This quiz is measuring the latitude of the northernmost point of the country, not the southernmost, and in that category, Australia is not in the Top 20 because Australia's northernmost point is farther north than all the other countries on this list.

The opposite quiz capitalizes 'With' in the title but this quiz doesn't. Please make it consistent!
