Brendan, Thank you for the research. I guess
Goretty disappeared as an enclave at some time. I
have not been able to find the 1991 census handbook,
so you are definitely more current.
I should have rephrased my question on divided
islands. I noticed there are other islands that are
divided, but the big islands mentioned were divided
with full knowledge of colonial consequences. They
are big islands that had to be divided as different
groups were in control of parts before the islands
were eventually divided and the division couldn't be
circumvented. Only US-Canada and Scandinavian borders
seem to divide tiny islands that could easily be
circumnavigated by the boundary lines. I wonder why
that is. Mike's explanation makes a lot of sense
though. Then again, all of them could just be
mistakes.
Brendan, don't you have the points for Baarle?
Maybe you could create excel charts of the small
enclaves in Baarle like ones done for Cyprus.
Arif
