this fascinating site doesnt actually try to locate
the future tripoints
but only assesses the probabilities of the prospective
breakaway countries that would give rise to them
http://www.mherrera.org/newcountries.htm
since of course predicting & finding the tripoints
themselves is properly left up to us here at bp

but what fun to find a kindred spirit handicapping the
breakaway prospects right alongside us

especially interesting to me are his clear favorites
to win place show & follow
namely
palestine going off at 9 to 11
kosovo at 3 to 7
somaliland at even money
& southern sudan at 11 to 9 against
if indeed i am not reading too much into his
evaluations

i was a bit surprised tho to find that he doesnt think
so much of
nor even mention by name
the sometime favorite of ambazania or ambazonia
which we recently visited here
one scroll click down
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/19229
& where
or at least in a small corner of which
unless it is only an adjacent rather than a
constituent pocket
the thousand or so natives are again restless today
having just declared independence again for their
merely 400 square mile crumb of coastal frontierland

while apparently waving the blue & white striped flag
of a greater ambazania
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambazonia

no clear idea about tripoint location yet
but of course any such breakaway bakassi tripoint
wouldnt be nearly so far inland as the breakaway
ambazania tripoint prospect would be
& which the above wikipedia sketch suggests
ambazania evidently being at least 40 times greater
than bakassi alone

perhaps the new tripoint would be at the tricolor
point shown here
http://www.dawodu.com/bakassi2.htm
or in other words at around archibong here
http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/mapcenter/map.aspx?TextLatitude=4.95692825475354&TextLongitude=8.31378309736768&TextAltitude=8&TextSelectedEntity=5544&SearchEnc=false&MapStyle=Comprehensive&MapSize=Medium&MapStyleSelectedIndex=0&searchTextMap=archibong&MapStylesList=Comprehensive&ZoomOnMapClickCheck=on&ResultsListbox=4.95692825475354%3B8.31378309736768%3B8%3B5544%3BCalabar%2C+Nigeria%3BMedium%3BComprehensive
rather than at the tamnyar point identified in the
previous visit linked above
supposing greater ambazania doesnt secede from reality
along with bakassi
