The Midway Atoll cannot be selected in Country Streak mode.
When playing on the country streak mode, Midway Atoll cannot be selected, but can be one of the locations the player is placed in.
It is considered an US Minor Outlying Island, but cannot be clicked to select the US Minor Outlying Islands. In order to select the US Minor Outlying Islands, a player has to select the Kure Atoll (which is actually a part of Hawaii and therefore not even a US Minor Outlying Island) or Wake Island instead. Kingman Reef can also sort of be selected, but the selection hitbox doesn't match the reef. Johnston Atoll, Jarvis Island, Howland Island and Baker Island (which are also parts of the US Minor Outlying Islands) can't be selected either.

I was so pumped when I figured out that I was on Midway Atoll... I tried to click it, didn't work, so I clicked the US...
And then I got hit with a "wrong answer!"
I was so close to 30.
Guys - this is "Country Streak", not "Countries but also Unincorporated Territories Streak". Google Midway Atoll and look at what comes up in the info box:
You've gotta drop Minor Outlying Islands. This was a false negative.

Please restore my streak!!!
We are working on a fix for this.
In the meantime can you send the Game-ID (can be found under Activities) and User-ID (can be found at the bottom when you click on your profile) to subscription@geoguessr.com and I will fix it 😀
Thanks!
