 </span></blockquote>thats perfectly ok<br/>
<br/>
your participation is the important thing<br/>
<br/>
also led me to check both cities more carefully<br/>
& happily i found topozone shows trenton city limits do in fact literally <br/>
reach as far as pennsylvania<br/>
<br/>
also to realize washington dc met both the tangency & balcony requirements <br/>
in the world class between 1861 & 1865<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but now that i see how commonly & easily small states & countries do at <br/>
least appear to capitalize on their borders<br/>
a more interesting question becomes<br/>
which is the largest country that meets either or both of the criteria<br/>
<br/>
& the kinshasa congo at nearly a million square miles does seem to be the <br/>
odds on favorite at the moment<br/>
& quite amazing if it pans out<br/>
when you consider the scale<br/>
