Land area in km²: the Largest Islands set’s figure for its islands, else Wikidata’s (P2046) where it fits the outline, else the area of the outline. Every island Natural Earth draws at 1:10m that Wikidata names, of 5 km² or more (smaller ones when well known), and every island of the Largest Islands set. Countries are those the island’s land lies in, from the outlines. Islands in Antarctica are left out unless the quiz includes Antarctica. Portugal (with the Portuguese Empire): places once under its rule and not now, from Wikidata’s dated country statements and colonial-empire membership, and the CIA World Factbook’s independence dates; military occupations of a few years are left out.
