already a funhouse mirror
owing mainly to my terrible shorthand
but let me explain
first
in order to simplify & codify the names of the multipoints
some of us have been using the standard 2letter postal abbreviations for
the constituent states & provinces & countries & just arranging these in
alphabetical order
so bcwazazi is the botswana namibia zambia zimbabwe quadrinational point
http://www.state.gov/www/regions/independent_states.html gives the usgovts
full roster of these wonderful national diglyphs
a deep study in themselves
but i digress
second
i certainly understand & appreciate & share your low opinion of the wetpoints
yet it must be said in fairness to them that they have frequently been the
most entertaining ones to visit
& finally
you cant be serious about the new canadian territories
still for more data see also see also under
