<div id="ygrps-yiv-1950285632">but if this isnt to be just more apples & oranges<br/>
you will also have to pretend that either france or the netherlands <br/>
is a legally divided island country <br/>
just as jesper is pretending cuba is<br/>
<br/>
for you have clipped & spaced out the original question<br/>
& have resorted to freestyle associative response<br/>
<br/>
of course this is ok <br/>
especially since we are only pretending in this case anyway<br/>
<br/>
but international islands are actually quite common<br/>
<br/>
& international islands in matched pairs & even larger groups <br/>
tho a bit less common <br/>
are not really rare either <br/>
<br/>
but so far as i know<br/>
only borneo & new guinea could qualify as legally divided <br/>
islands of an island country<br/>
namely indonesia<br/>
<br/>
& international cases like these probably dont occur anywhere <br/>
as topologically identical twins <br/>
such as i believe jesper meant to inspire with the would be <br/>
example of cuba & company<br/>
