<div id="ygrps-yiv-1216741521">Interesting.  However, I should point out that Louisiana and Washington have <br/>
subsequently been proven to be contiguous after all--the Chandeleur Islands and <br/>

&gt; this of course is the conventional list found in standard reference sources<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; but in reality the list of actually external sovereign territories of the usa <br/>
&gt; is much longer<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; & i mean not even counting any of the silly military or diplomatic or <br/>
&gt; ceremonial or other<br/>
&gt; miscellaneous parcels of nonsovereign or semisovereign real estate properties <br/>
&gt; &or<br/>
&gt; leaseholds that people are so fond of discovering & reporting & discussing as <br/>
&gt; if they really<br/>
&gt; counted<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; for tho it could stand some minor updating & corrections<br/>

&gt; ultimately identifies as many as 52 noncontiguous territories of the usa<br/>
&gt; all presumably still extant & distinct sovereign spaces<br/>
&gt; unless i am mistaken<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; & while several of these disjunct spaces are legal parts of the 50 united <br/>
&gt; states per se<br/>
&gt; & thus might not be considered external despite their territorial <br/>
&gt; disconnection<br/>
&gt; nevertheless roughly 3 dozens of these territories are still fully external to <br/>
&gt; the usa as such </span></blockquote></div>
