No. Enclaves have to be totally surrounded by one other entity. Eq.G.'s
mainland is coastal and borders two other countries on land.
However, it is an interesting FRAGMENT, as although larger in area, and
'mainland', it is smaller in population than Rio Muni island, AND it does
not have the capital.
Other examples are:
Malasia, where E.Malaysia is larger, but has smaller pop and not the capital
Samoa, where the smaller island has the larger popn and the capital
Pakistan 1947-1971, where the western part was larger and had the capital,
but the East had more population.
Denmark, where the capital is on an island, not the larger mainland.
