http://www.bidsnet.com.ni/On_line_dir/Nic%20Deptos1.GIF confirms the
departmental distribution of the islands in lake nicaragua
as previously noticed & reported
but like the earlier maps shows no partition of the lake itself

so while there is still a remote chance that a quintidepartmental or second
order quintipoint may emerge in the lake
nevertheless the quintitertiary point of lake okeechobee must in the
meantime remain the presumptive global maxipoint
for lack of a better candidate

at least this latter point
situated at the northwest corner of palm beach county
& its 5 sovereign constituent counties do have the virtue of appearing
several times a day on tv


also no other potentially maxipunctiferous lakes have been found anywhere
despite a careful worldwide search
thus virtually extinguishing a last best hope of discovering any new global
maxipoint
tho the caspian & black seas could still conceivably yield quintinational
points if they are ever divided up among their coastal countries


indeed it now seems most likely that only the legal consummation of the
prospective bwnazmzw quadrinational point in southern africa might still
stand to trump the quinticounty point of florida
