i have a map by prescott that shows the 2 apparent fragments of equatorial
guinea to be connected by maritime territory & thus not to really be
fragments at all
at least no more than sjaelland & continental denmark are fragments
nor than any offshore island within the territorial waters of denmark or
any other country is a fragment
m
by contrast i would say the danish island of bornholm is a true fragment
because in this special case foreign maritime territory does cut it off
completely from the rest of danish territory
or have i missed your point
