Of course, of course, I knew that...

"Nevertheless I cannot say that DKc seem much balanced according to
weight of land! They have simply chosen the most simple way to get

That's not very nice of the Danes, if you're right! That's cheating!

"Peter S.!, if we should count Queen Maud Land as a part of my old
land's mainland, NOc would probably be in or around Gabon (!), but
according to my sources it is somewhere here . (Very well inside NO,
thank-you-very-much!!!"

Yes, and the mysterious Bouvet and Peter I islands as well! Anyway,
Queen Maud Land and Peter I are more or less unilaterally proclaimed
parts of Norway, because they are part of the area under the
Antarctic treaty.

In the same way (i.e. by lumping possessions together), NLh would be
Mt. Scenery on the island of Saba. Our own little Dutch volcano. No,
it doesn't work like that, it's true...
