still havent found a decent provincial map of gabon nor of indonesia really
but it is now looking as tho gabon may well contain a dry land
interprovincial equatorial boundary
while the maritime interprovincial equatorial boundary previously surmised
for the celebes within indonesia has still been neither confirmed nor ruled
out

so as of now the search may yet produce the desired rare or unique outcome
or it may yet produce the less desirable null outcome
so far as second order boundaries are concerned

& it is anybodys guess at this point whether any equatorial boundaries of a
lower order might occur anywhere in these countries or in any of the other
countries crossed by the equator

so this particular fools errand may yet prove to be just another wild goose
chase in any case

& it may be well to recognize besides at this point that any eventual
findings will be so subject to the vagaries of survey error as to actually
offer little serious hope of producing a fully acceptable example in any
case

btw can anyone name
of course without peeking or thinking too hard
the 8 remaining continental countries & the 6 remaining pelagic countries
that are crossed by the equator

in fairness i should add that it is a bit of a trick question
