Am I missing something - is that to do with territorial possessions outside Europe?

From the
Official Money List Website (click to expand), the UK is indeed on this list. I had to do some digging, but the British has some land interest in the Indian Ocean (per Wikipedia).
My thoughts on GSN's BSN:
20Q: Much better than I thought it would be, but I can't help but feel that it's 1 vs. 100 lite, with all the cues and audience reactions and such...waaaayyy too thin for 90 minutes however.
The Money List: Can we have that set? In my opinion, the strongest show in the lot by far. This show can work in an hour, and Roggin is definitely able to step up his game. I won't criticize because (per Buzzerblog) these shows were taped just as Fred was beginning to dig his heels in GSN Live. He will certainly improve.
Big Saturday Night: An unfinished list is unfinished business, and apparently an unfinished segment is much needed business for GSN. The live wraparounds (which cut off nice sized portions of the main shows) were very, very bad. Mad TV rejects, overtly festive interns, lame parodies, and disproportionate cash prizes made the biggest feature of the show the most painful to watch. Unscrambling words in 30 seconds shouldn't have as much jack as Getting 6 of 15 Dr. Seuss Books, I'm sorry.
The two studio games are good on their own...dump the live segments, and you have the best crop of GSN homebrew since 2002...hopefully, they will have much more mileage.
