You are quite right Mike, I broke my own rule.
GBIE does NOT have a secondary divided island (well, I look at my two
1:50000 topomaps and found no candidates, could some elsewhere?)
FRNL(St. Martin) - do we have a map that is good enough for this purpose?
IDMY - Sebatik comes closed, but is ruined by Brunei on the "mother island"
Cyprus - looked at my 1:200 000 map and found no candidates
Timor - Does East Timor have a divided island?
So far Cuba has the most beautifull candiates also because the island is
inland and not external.
