    Oh, I literally had to ask for a hint? How stupid, I don't need no hint!

    Hahaha, I ran out of things and just started naming islands I've heard of.



    Second time around I'm still missing 4 in Africa but the map looks complete. WTF

    It would also be much easier if we could see a list of what we've already submitted. I missed Dominican Republic the first time because I was flying through the Caribbean and didn't realize it had accepted Dominica as I was typing. (Although I would never have gotten Dominica.)
    Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
    America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.

    Well, I finished and the only two I had never heard of were those two I listed earlier Nauru and The Corcoros. The latter sounds like a settlement in a Star Wars universe.

    Edit:

    Nauru (English i/nɑːˈuːruː/ nah-oo-roo), officially the Republic of Nauru and formerly known as Pleasant Island, is an island country in Micronesia in the South Pacific. Its nearest neighbour is Banaba Island in Kiribati, 300 kilometres (186 mi) to the east. Nauru is the world's smallest republic, covering just 21 square kilometres (8.1 sq mi). With 9,378 residents, it is the second least-populated country after Vatican City.


    Known for not being known. Check. But I *have* heard of Pleasant Island.

    My boyfriend regularly laughs at me because I can't even point out all the states correctly on a map.

    Geometry was never my best subject.

    (Yes, I know it's Geography, it's a joke.)

    Uhh, in a world civ class I had to learn all the countries. Each week we had a quiz where you had to fill in a full continent map.

    I totally got Djibouti and I will never stop giggling over it.

    Thanks, world civ.
