It comprises Diego Garcia and some other bits and bobs Sue. That was the controversial island where (and I generalise) we turfed out a load of the indigenous islanders in the 1960s or 1970s to enable the Americans to build an airbase or somesuch; a decision that (IIRC) several court decisions in recent years have ruled was unlawful.

just remember the states. i got 42 which is poor, it would have been 43 if i could spell mass...

i'd say par should be 46

41 - so well done.

Hard to have any sort of systematic approach to this.
