Ahem, the Cocos islands are administered by Australia. You know, the country where we both live. They're not actually independent. Do you still want them on the list?

We own Heard and McDonald islands too. I should know, I answered a question on Sale of the Century about them. And Christmas Island (you should know THAT, if only because of the detention centre).

And funnily enough, the British Indian Ocean Territory is... British...

Bouvet island belongs to Norway. Hey, I learn something new every day.

The fact that you have "United States Minor Outlying Islands" right after "United States" only proves that you copied this list from somewhere without thinking about the contents. Who do you think owns the United States Minor Outlying Islands?!

My point is the same as in the other thread, WHERE YOU COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT OF HALF MY POST! You cannot possibly equate USA with Bouvet Island. No-one recognizes Bouvet Island as independent. Whereas the USA is unquestionably independent in the relevant sense.

I often think you have a valid point, Stang, but for heavens' sake learn to fight the right battles!

Believe me ... the list is copied straight from this site's legend for the flags shown in our profiles.

Having a flag does not make you a country, Stang. All the Australian States and Territories have flags. Last time I looked, Tasmania wasn't independent.

The point is that we are interdependent.

It pays to review the facts. Did you think there were WMD's in Iraq ?

The point is that you were questioning independence day. Are you saying NO country should celebrate its independence day?

Consistency is what I'm looking for here.
