Sounds like a Trivial Pursuit Question

Seeing both Sarkozy and Le Pen campaigning in La Reunion on the news, it made me wonder how many other French voting departments there were around the world.
As of March 11th 2011 the overseas departments ( departement d' outre- mer or DOM ) are:
French Guiana in S.America
Guadeloupe in N. America ( the Caribbean )
Martinque in N. America ( the Caribbean )
Reunion in Africa (Indian Ocean)
Mayotte in Africa ( Indian Ocean)
They all have the same political status as other metropolitan departments.
Now all you need is a question covering departments in Trivial Pursuit.
