I've just uploaded a file called Perfs&Frags.xls to the files area.
It's a two-sheet workbook containing my first attempt to list all the
national bits and pieces that make up the world at the EEZ level.
I look at 193 countries (I've included East Timor). Most of them
coalesce into single cohesive units surrounded by land borders and
Exclusive Economic Zones: I don't list these.
Some of them are perforated by bits of other countries, or by areas
of high seas within their EEZ: these are listed on the "Perforations"
sheet (22 countries with 267 perforations).
Others are found to consist of a parent unit and several detached
bits and pieces: these bits and pieces are listed on the "Fragments"
sheet (33 countries with 324 fragments).
The information on Indian/Bangladeshi exclaves is the latest I have
from Brendan.
Inevitably I'll have messed up somewhere, so all comments are welcome.
