Argentina Chile South Africa Indonesia Malaysia Australia Greenland Russia Iceland Norway And assuming the Caribbean etc. are part of the Atlantic Ocean, then...

If Reunion is part of France, why is its capital listed as Saint-Denis not as Paris? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Denis,_R%C3%A9union Jul 04 09, 8:07 PM

Interesting question. I do think Baloo55th might be right though: "Administratively, Réunion is one of the overseas départements of France. Like the other overseas departments, Réunion is also one of the twenty-six regions of France (being an overseas region) and an integral part of the Republic with the same status as those situated on the European mainland." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9union Jul 04 09, 8:14 PM

No argument from me on that. But then why don't they list Reunion's capital as Paris? Jul 04 09, 9:23 PM
