The actual number will fluctuate by the definition of country, countries that are distinctive but are protectorates or states of another country, some countries share an island, and some countries occupy several or a great many islands. Some lists call Australia an island, which I consider a continent. In other words, my list may be different that someone else's list. Here is my list:
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Aruba (self governing territory of the Netherlands)
