<br/>
most of our apparent erudition comes rather cheaply tho<br/>
since many standard reference sources answer all such questions <br/>
in the conventional or jurisdictional sense anyway <br/>
for any country you may ask<br/>
<br/>
the cia world factbook is good for starters<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook">http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook</a><br/>
<br/>
& equipped with such power<br/>
you see how many unasked questions people are eager to also answer<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; It would be nice to discover if and which are the DISPUTED islands between <br/>
&gt; U.S. and the other Countries.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>as mentioned<br/>
machias seal island<br/>
<br/>
& a nearby companion rock<br/>
<br/>
plus navassa & wake<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; The same analysys could be done on British External Territories.<br/>
&gt; BTW there is a nice website on this topic:<br/>
&gt; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.eurolegal.org/botresources.shtml">http://www.eurolegal.org/botresources.shtml</a><br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; And what about the French External territories? there is a complete list?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>of course<br/>
but why not factbook or google it & enjoy the feeling of instant erudition for yourself<br/>
<br/>
all such answers are easy enough to find<br/>
<br/>
a more challenging & original search <br/>
as distinct from ordinary old hat research<br/>
might begin from such conventional data <br/>
& then proceed to seek out all the separate territorial areas that obtain from it<br/>
<br/>
this has been done here well enough at the eez level for the entire world<br/>
but never completely at the sovereign territorial level<br/>
which is of course more difficult because the territorial areas involved are smaller<br/>
<br/>
so happily we still have somewhere new to go here<br/>
that involves discriminating precision pursuit<br/>
as distinct from just looking things up<br/>
