There is no &quot;logic&quot; that supports you claim.  In counter, I can claim that<br/>
it would be &#39;illogical&#39; for a border to swerve about to avoid peninsulae,<br/>
when everyone knows that &#39;logical borders&#39; are straight lines, preferably<br/>
following round numbered lines of longitude or latitutude. Wyoming and<br/>
COlolaro have the most logical boundaries of any political units except<br/>
perhaps the circular cities of Georgia (USA).<br/>

PS: Perhaps some of our differences of opinion are due to our<br/>
    environments. Brendan is from a very dry country (Australia) with very<br/>
    few natural lakes, whereas I am from Canada, with many many lakes,<br/>
    many islands in lakes, and many straight fiat boundaries that just go<br/>
    straight through ...</div>
