    This could go on forever.

    Answer: They are the EU member states which are not members of NATO.

    I'm not sure what hilliest city means. I'm wondering if you mean most elevated city and I'm also wondering if you mean capital city. If I'm right in that I would guess Addis Ababa.
    Otherwise I would take a chance on El Alto just up the hill from La Paz.

    Some have controversy cast upon them, and some seek it.

    By colonised I mean populated.

    That's it.

    Colonised 1770.
    Believed to have been visited by Arab traders much earlier and also possibly by Malays from Borneo following the migration path to Madagascar 200-300AD.
    I read somewhere (but can't retrieve it) that there was archaeological evidence of pre-historic habitation and that said evidence vanished c. 1910.
    That's why I was careful to say "discovered uninhabited."
