Why is it so important that the exclave is surrounded by only one <br/>
other unit? In other words, why can&#39;t the municipality of Voeren in <br/>
Belgium be an exclave of Flanders? That it isn&#39;t an enclave, I can <br/>
see. But it is an exclave (in my humble opinion) to Flanders. For the <br/>
Flemish it is of little importance that it is wedged between the <br/>
Netherlands and Wallonia.<br/>
<br/>
I&#39;m taking this secundary level example to make my point, because I <br/>
can&#39;t think of an international one right now. But I hope you <br/>
understand what I mean.<br/>

&gt; The mainland bit i would call a fragment of the island, as the <br/>
island has <br/>
&gt; the larger population and more importantly the capital. The <br/>
mainland is <br/>
&gt; larger in area, but still a fragment, as it is peripheral.<br/>

&gt; David pulled me up on a fine point:<br/>
&gt; an enclave or exclave must be surrounded entirely by one other unit.<br/>
&gt; An enclave is inside you and an exclave is a PIECE of you inside <br/>
someome <br/>
&gt; else.<br/>
&gt; Eq. Guinea is and has neither of these. </span></blockquote></div>
