thats both completely satisfying & entertaining too
so from your data at the end about the new divisions
i dont think there is any question that there are now 6 divisions
producing 4 & only 4 tridivisional points
& all of them wet but none maritime
the only remaining question to complete this country is about the
legal allocation of its maritime space
it appears from cia mapping that none of the divisions or their
borders extend seaward of the low tide line
& that the entire territorial sea is likely reserved to the federal
government
or formerly the crown
a possibly common practice in the british commonwealth
& i am just winging it up here on little hard evidence
but i think we might surmise a final pair of bd2 federal tripoints
where the khsa & chsa boundaries terminate in their respective
river mouths
at bd2bdkhsa & bd2bdchsa
so in that regard
can you or anyone in fact confirm
by actual intelligence or even just considered opinion
whether the coastal divisions of bangladesh could possibly have
seas of their own like the coastal states of oz or the usa
or whether they should be presumed not to have any seas at all
like the coastal provinces & territories of canada or the states of
mexico
