so before proceeding to even think about the letter b
etc
& just to pause & savor the results of our random sampling
comprising 11 of the 193 countries
we can already project the above data into a first estimated census of
the major subdivisional multipoints of the world
to come up with a first wildly guessed grand total
of something on the order of 4000 of them

& we can also observe that azerbaijan & the united states
each apparently having 85 major subdivisional multipoints
are at the moment the countries to beat for the gold medal

& i have a feeling russia at least may trounce them both
i mean if we ever reach the letter r
while she maintains her present subdivisional mess


& again
before barging directly ahead to contemplate & scope out ba2 bb2 etc
& just to be sure of playing with the full deck at all times
i proceeded instead by reviewing the entire universe of iso diglyphs
for our independent countries only
& took the opportunity to group them alphabetically by their primary
letter
which in itself provided another stimulating exercise of data search &
tracking

& resulted in the following creme de la question for anyone who likes
such counting or even just wild guessing as much as i do


which letters of the alphabet begin the most & fewest country diglyphs

& for extra credit
how many in each case



& finally daring to peer ahead into the letter b itself
can anyone help me to a decent subdivisional map of
the bahamas
bahrain &or
bosnia herzegovina

thanx
