thats perfectly ok
your participation is the important thing
also led me to check both cities more carefully
& happily i found topozone shows trenton city limits do in fact literally
reach as far as pennsylvania
also to realize washington dc met both the tangency & balcony requirements
in the world class between 1861 & 1865
but now that i see how commonly & easily small states & countries do at
least appear to capitalize on their borders
a more interesting question becomes
which is the largest country that meets either or both of the criteria
& the kinshasa congo at nearly a million square miles does seem to be the
odds on favorite at the moment
& quite amazing if it pans out
when you consider the scale
