<div id="ygrps-yiv-807600318">Maybe second division island was a wrong term at the time.<br/>
<br/>
What I really meant was a child island which was divided as the mother<br/>
island. If Guantanamo was true US soil then the island of Cuba would have<br/>
been divided between Cuba and USA. The island of Flamingo Cay (see<br/>
attachment) is right on the Cuba/US line and so a small copy of the mother<br/>
island of Cuba.<br/>
<br/>
I haven&#39;t found so far other examples. The island of Sebatik came close, but<br/>
because the mother island also included Brunei it didn&#39;t work out. It would<br/>
have been a less interesting (but still interesting) speciment as Sebatik is<br/>
lying next to Borneo and not like Flamingo Cay having CUUS on each side.<br/>
<br/>
I also though of internal boundaries with a child division island copying<br/>
the mother division island. In Denmark we haven&#39;t got any. The island of<br/>
Amager is divided between Copenhagen County and Copenhagen Municipality<br/>
(county status), but the motherland Zealand has more than these two<br/>
counties. Copenhagen County part of Amager is by the way a pene exclave.<br/>

&gt; hahaha<br/>
&gt; it makes perfect sense too<br/>
&gt; & we knew we were in for another fruit salad riot as soon as we<br/>
&gt; saw this marvelously ambiguous or really multibiguous question<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; & it was my folly to endeavor to head off such a perfectly good riot<br/>
&gt; when any decent free for all is much better than nothing at all<br/>
&gt; dont you agree<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; so please keep those questions coming everyone<br/>
&gt; whether understandable or multiunderstandable or not<br/>

&gt; &gt; &gt;you will also have to pretend that either france or the<br/>

&gt; &gt;<br/>
&gt; &gt; Perhaps I misunderstood the question. I thought Jesper was<br/>
&gt; asking for<br/>
&gt; &gt; islands where parts of, rather than whole second-level<br/>
&gt; divisions of<br/>
&gt; &gt; different countries co-exist. Neither Ireland or possibly Borneo<br/>
&gt; would<br/>
&gt; &gt; qualify on this basis, as the second-level divisions of these<br/>
&gt; islands are<br/>
&gt; &gt; entirely self-contained.<br/>
