Welcome back! How did we miss that event, leaving all the glory to plucky little Aland?! We could have sent a team from GB, one from Australia, another from the Americas and perhaps, stretching the rules a little, one from Eurasia, another from Africa below the Suez. And also one from Iberia including Gibraltar and the stubby little bit of France below the Canal du Midi. I don't think Antarctica would have sent anyone - they keep themselves pretty much to themselves and their penguins.
