   Well, when we talk about France without adding more precision, we most of 
the time talk about France with its 5 overseas departments (called DROM for 
Départements et Régions d'Outre-Mer) which are Guadeloupe, Mayotte, Guyane, La 
Réunion, and Mayotte.
   
   These 5 items are actually listed by Natural Earth Data as part of France 
(`admin == France`), and this is what seems to generate the France and France 
(regions) maps in Superset.

   Then, when we talk about "France with overseas", we want to add the overseas 
authorities (called COM for Collectivité d'Outre-Mer) which are French 
Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Barthélémy, 
Saint Martin, New Caledonia, French Southern and Antarctic Lands and sometime 
even Clipperton (less studied as it is uninhabited).

   The difference between DROM and COM is that COM have more local power and 
autonomy. For example, French Polynesia has its own local government, its own 
president, etc.
   
   In my opinion, both use case are different as the "France with overseas" 
only concerns people that want to do more advanced requests on the whole French 
territories whereas most of the time people would focus on Metropolitan France 
or France with DROM.
   
   So honestly, I would keep both France, France (regions), and France (with 
overseas) maps.
