Re: factbook

We can only show what the CIA has in their Factbook.  I will check and see if they have any entries for the ones we are missing.

Re: factbook

Only Saint Martin: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/rn.html has one... That sucks 

And this is the reason why the others don't:

''Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Reunion, and French Guiana are no longer in The World Factbook because their status has changed. While they are overseas departments of France, they are also now recognized as French regions, having equal status to the 22 metropolitan regions that make up European France. In other words, they are now recognized as being part of France proper. Their status is somewhat analogous to Alaska and Hawaii vis-Ã -vis the contiguous United States. Although separated from the larger geographic entity, they are still considered to be an integral part of it.''

Just one more thing, why do some of the countries not have a factbook entry?

Saint Martin, Mayotte or US Minor Outlying Islands for example.

I asked that too earlier
