If you include Brazil and Suriname, you should include the Netherlands too (France borders the Netherlands on the island of Saint Martin).

I am going to add some nitpicking on this subject. There are many comments above about Sint Maarten. To be strictly accurate one should say that Sint Maarten is a constituent country of the state "The Kingdom of the Netherlands", as is "The Netherlands". Thus Sint Maarten is not part of the Netherlands. Confusion arises because rather lazily, generally people also use the term Netherlands to refer to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. I hope that is clear.

I assume you're talking about St. Pierre and Miquelon, which are very close to Newfoundland in Canada, but have always stayed under French rule, even after Canada gained its independence.

France doesn't actually own any part of Antarctica, it's just a research area/fantasy claim. No country owns part of Antarctica.

Actually, The overseas regions of France is Martinique, Mayotte, Reunion, French Guiana and Guadeloupe. If one of these Islands shared a country border then it should be on the List.

Seems like an awkward choice to include the overseas region of French Guiana but not St. Martin. I understand it's a different legal category, but it's weird for the feel of the quiz.

I get that especially North Americans routinely associate the fleur-de-lys with France, but to French people, that's a little weird. In fact, the fleur-de-lys is considered to be a symbol of monarchy in France. It was an emblem of the kings, since Louis VII. It is not used anymore, neither officially, nor unofficially, to represent the country. The analogy is far from perfect, but it's a bit like using the confederate flag to represent the US. Would you consider changing the illustration?

Just as a point of information, the fleur-de-lys is still included in the coat of arms of both Lyon and St Barthélemy and, by extension, on the unofficial flag of St Barthélemy.

Furthermore, on the island of Saint-Martin / Sint Maarten which is a "overseas collectivity", France does actually border the Netherlands. However, overseas collectivities are semi-autonomous while overseas regions and deapartments have the same status as metropolitan France. Therefore, it was the right decision not to include the Netherlands.Good job!

St-Martin, St-Pierre, St-Barthélémy, Wallis and Futuna = Guam, USVI

I don't get the little text excerpt thing from under the quiz in the September 2, 2022 daily featured quiz. This quiz was easy. When I read that piece of text, I thought it would include *all* French overseas territories and islands and stuff. But the description told me otherwise. This quiz really was easy, and that little excerpt comes off really cocky.

And I don't think many people on Jetpunk don't know the existence of French Guiana, or would have thought this quiz was hard.

Forget the Dutch border: real pedants worry about Antarctica. This only adds one border: the slice of Antarctic territory claimed by France is wedged between two slices both claimed by Australia.

But if we count the South Pole as a single-point border, we can add more countries: Norway, New Zealand, and some combination of the UK, Chile, and Argentina depending on which claims we decide to recognise.
