Name Every Island Nation
Every sovereign country made up entirely of islands — 47 in all. The big ones are easy; the Pacific and Caribbean micro-states are where streaks go to die.
Frequently asked questions
Is Australia counted as an island country?
No — Australia is conventionally treated as a continental landmass, not an island. That is the standard geographic convention this quiz follows.
Do countries that share an island count?
Yes. Haiti and the Dominican Republic share Hispaniola, and Papua New Guinea shares New Guinea — they are still island nations.
What is the smallest island country?
Nauru, at about 21 km² — the third-smallest country in the world after Vatican City and Monaco.
