Yes, and France IS in Africa (Mayotte, Réunion), and IS in North America (Saint-Pierre et Miquelon), and IS in central America (Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Bath, St Martin), and IS in Oceania, where I live (i'm in Tahiti)... whether you like it or not! And even a part of it is in Europe! ;-)
Well, not quite. Not in North America or Oceania. St Pierre and Miquelon, Tahiti, and a couple others are not overseas departments, but overseas territories—more like Guam or Puerto Rico than Hawaii. The oversees departments are: Reunion, Mayotte, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana.
Overseas territories have a different status than overseas départements, but they're still an integral part of France, with citizenship, and voting rights and everything. We don't do second-class citizens (well, not anymore, anyway...).
Think of France like the UK, it is a sovereign nation containing many smaller countries so, France = France, French Guiana, Martinique, Corsica etc. and, the UK = England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Anguilla etc.
No, not the vast majority. There a five overseas departments (Reunion, Mayotte, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and French Guiana) and six overseas territories (St Pierre and Miquelon, St Bart’s, St Martin, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, and French Polynesia). But I see your point. The UK, for example, has zero overseas departments and 13 overseas territories.
Well Schrodinger's cat is about the quantum physics of matter being in multiple antonymous states at once, but the Antarctic territories are just plain BS. I mean they overlap and everything, and still the research stations there aren't actually used specifically by the people who claim them. Also how the Fk did Norway get a claim there? I get France and the Uk still hold Colonial possessions near there, but Norway??? I mean somehow they have Bouvet Island and a sizeable portion of Antarctica claimed. anyway the claims are nonsense anyway since other than Argentina and Chile the Countries are all aligned with eachother.
Can you please except French Guinea? Every map I've ever seen has it labeled French Guinea.... I was staring at the box that "730 km" for 2 minutes and couldn't finish.
Your maps would be all incorrect if that is the case. Guyana/Guiana etc. is the region in South America. Guinea is found in Africa, like Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea.
Why do people get annoyed at France being in this. Does it really matter that much to you? Anyway it's not like this quiz is long. It only takes around a minute(ish) for you to do it again.
Nice timing: I was at those very falls last week (and yes the Brazil-Argentina border does runs down the middle of them). Everyone, add Iguazu Falls to your bucket list, they are astonishing in size and scale.
It is French Guiana. I know, the alternative French spelling is Guyane, but as this quiz site insists that it is an English language quiz site (despite its acceptance of foreign place names as it chooses), the correct spelling would be Guiana.
Brazil is so big that it touches almost every country in South America. It even touches a country in Europe, France! It is one of Europe's biggest countries.
It's a French department. It doesn't need a caveat, just like how if Alaska bordered Russia it wouldn't need a caveat. It's just as much a part of France as Île-de-France or Bretagne.
French speaking canada = Quebec = Area of Canada = Canada
And Canada is Not in EU.
Guiana is a department ("state") of France. It is analogous to Guam or Hawaii to France
Spoiler Alert: NO.
MAKE SENSE YET?? :)))))
Wales is to UK as New York is to USA as Corsica is to France.
If you want to get salty, take it up with the French government, not Jetpunk.
