this fascinating site doesnt actually try to locate
the future tripoints
but only assesses the probabilities of the prospective
breakaway countries that would give rise to them http://www.mherrera.org/newcountries.htm
since of course predicting & finding the tripoints
themselves is properly left up to us here at bp
but what fun to find a kindred spirit handicapping the
breakaway prospects right alongside us
especially interesting to me are his clear favorites
to win place show & follow
namely
palestine going off at 9 to 11
kosovo at 3 to 7
somaliland at even money
& southern sudan at 11 to 9 against
if indeed i am not reading too much into his
evaluations
i was a bit surprised tho to find that he doesnt think
so much of
nor even mention by name
the sometime favorite of ambazania or ambazonia
which we recently visited here
one scroll click down http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/19229
& where
or at least in a small corner of which
unless it is only an adjacent rather than a
constituent pocket
the thousand or so natives are again restless today
having just declared independence again for their
merely 400 square mile crumb of coastal frontierland http://www.easybourse.com/Website/dynamic/News.php?NewsID=37562?=fra&NewsRubrique=2
while apparently waving the blue & white striped flag
of a greater ambazania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambazonia
no clear idea about tripoint location yet
but of course any such breakaway bakassi tripoint
wouldnt be nearly so far inland as the breakaway
ambazania tripoint prospect would be
& which the above wikipedia sketch suggests
ambazania evidently being at least 40 times greater
than bakassi alone
