France has a department near the Solomon Islands -- New Caledonia which would place France on your list.

American Samoa is not the reason why the United States appears on this quiz. Part of the Aleutian Islands (Alaska) is west of the International Date Line. The island chain contains both the westernmost and easternmost point in the country.

The IDT determines what day the islands are in, it does not move the 180° longitude line. If it did, Fiji and Russia would not be so far east that 180° intersects them, ARandomQuizzer

When making the quiz, on step two - where you add the answers - you should see a box below 'step 6 submit'. Under rows, just put in any number you like and make sure the option insert before or after is selected, and that you've selected a cell in the 'hint' or 'answers' table. Hope this helps!

New guinea was actualy my first guess and kiribati my second, and they are both very low (usa and east timor too, but I can think of explanation for those two, no surprise there)

For some reason? How about because they are east of the 180 degree longitude. They would be featured in the "Westernmost Countries" quiz.

more specifically, it is because an island is on the eastern side of the line and in alaska which although overseas is not an overseas territory, and there is no land in Alaska on the 180 line exactly.

it should be in order

russia/usa

kiribati

in that straight order.

an alaskan island is split between both sides and so as russia, kiribati also literally changes the date line, so that's right after cus its far to the right.

Well done for posting a comment before doing a very quick and basic search online: Samoa's most western point is 172 degrees WEST of Greenwich, therefore it's EAST of the IDL.

why include overseas territories of USA (Alaska) but not France or UK ? New Caledonia is as much a part of France as Alaska is to the US.

Alaska is NOT an overseas territory of the US. It's a state, which makes it as much a part of the US as EVERY other state! (Unlike territories like Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.)

A quick search tells me that New Caledonia is a 'Sui generis collectivity' which would seem to mean it's on a path to independence, although over the course of decades. Maybe someone familiar with French politics can chime in...
