What about Puerto Rico?

What about Puerto Rico? This is a semi-independent island with such things as its own Olympic Teams and other things separate from the United States.
Furthermore, what about the extreme points of the permanent main body of the United States, which are now in the State of Maine on the east, in the State of Alaska on the west and on the north, Point Barrow, and in the State of Florida on the south.

What about France?

Also, the extreme points of the main body of France - "Metropolitan France" - are also very important.

What about Taiwan (R.O.C,)?

What about Taiwan (R.O.C.)?
Even though Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, it is still an important country economically and geographically. Also, Taiwan has other important international relationships, such as its own Olympic Teams and a strong defense relationship with the United States.

USA Aleutians

I heard about some Aleutians that cross the IDL. The easternmost is little Semisopochnoi Island, which is at 179'46 E, possibly making the USA 1st on this list! Look at a map to find the Aleutians that are west of the IDL! They technically are. Or look at Semisopochnoi_Island ;) Signed, 76.116.15.169 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:85:C000:F8AA:DD55:6760:4352:BBA4 (talk) 23:57, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Miskito Cays

@UnkownymousWiki: Thank you for your edits. I am however having difficulty verifying the easternmost point of the Miskito Cays for Nicaragua. Do you have a source that shows a cay that far east? I found some reefs as far east as 82°34′W, but they are below sea level. The easternmost above-sea-level point I found is actually Edinburgh Cay (north of the Miskitos) at 82°41′W. --Lasunncty (talk) 08:53, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
