Good. It's wrong to consider azores as an overseas territory of Portugal, though. It's just one of their ordinary island regions, like Canary or Balearic islands for Spain or Hawaii for the USA.

Sorry for nitpicking.

Not nitpicking - I think this is an important distinction! People need to understand that just because parts of a country are geographically distant, that doesn't automatically mean they're an overseas territory. Hawaii is a good example.

What makes something an overseas territory is the constitutional and governance set up, not an arbitrary distance.

Like how French Guyana, Réunion, Nouvelle Calédonie etc are all integrated parts of France. They're overseas departments, not territories.

I was typing Denmark, accidentally typed "DR", got credit for Dominican Republic (which I would have gotten anyway), and subsequently forgot Dominica, because I always type it together with Dominican Republic. And there went my perfect score!

I think both of those are further away than Nicaragua, but Serranilla Bank (an uninhabited reef that's claimed by Columbia) is definitely closer.

Look at all the warm countries nearest to Maine.

And Greenland.

There that's more like Maine.
