okay... i certainly hope that I can still ask questions because I've had two yeses:

Is the country's area smaller than 580000 sq km (220000 sq mi)?

(here's a clarification question, so it doesn't count : does "old world" include Australia and Oceania?)

About improving the game system: Has anyone a good idea to introduce a round mechanism with a varying and not too reliable number of players? This way we might get around the problems I mentioned earler.

I thought it had to have been a British colony at some point... so it must be South East Asian and a French or Dutch colony....

well, it appears there's only Indonesia there, and that's more than 580 000 sq km

so it's Madagaskar, which is not mainland africa after all

Oh, come on Adalbertus!

It's probably a country partially in the northern hemisphere, partially on asian mainland, partially islands.
Probably you even count every seacoast as a coast to the Indian Ocean because you can reach it from there...

Next guess: East Timor (which is only part of an island, so it's no island )
