&gt; &gt; & am also still mystified enough to ask how there can be so many as<br/>
<br/>
&gt; 324 fragments producing so few as 267 perforations<br/>
<br/>
&gt; The figures have changed in the light of Brendan&#39;s recent recount of<br/>
<br/>
&gt; the Bengali enclaves, and after a late catch of an error on my own<br/>
<br/>
&gt; part. I&#39;d update the file, except I now seem to be cut off from it by<br/>
<br/>
&gt; my recent change of e-mail address. Maybe I can ask Bill to chop out<br/>
<br/>
&gt; the old one, and I&#39;ll upload a new one.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; So (and barring the uncovering of further mistakes):<br/>
<br/>
&gt; 23 countries contain 270 perforations. These consist of:<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; 253   conventional land enclaves (exclaves of other countries)<br/>
<br/>
&gt;   3   enclaved countries (Lesotho, Vatican, San Marino)<br/>
<br/>
&gt;   4   high seas enclaves perforating national EEZs (eg Shikoku Basin)<br/>
<br/>
&gt;   3   territories enclaved entirely by EEZs (eg St Pierre & Miquelon)<br/>
<br/>
&gt;   7   territories enclaved by combined land & sea borders (eg Monaco)<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; 33 countries have a total of 321 detached fragments:<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; 253   conventional exclaves (enclaved by one other country)<br/>
<br/>
&gt;  19   EEZ islands in the high seas (enclaved by Everyone&#39;s Land)<br/>
<br/>
&gt;  49   other fragments, hemmed in by land and/or sea belonging to<br/>
<br/>
&gt;        several nations<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; shouldnt everyones lands be treated as part of the topological<br/>
<br/>
&gt; mosaic rather than as gaps in it<br/>
<br/>
&gt; I only missed it out because I felt I&#39;d treated it already in the<br/>
<br/>
&gt; files on EEZ islands and high seas enclaves. My grand, bumper bonanza<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Border Survey of the Whole World at the EEZ Level (coming real soon)<br/>
<br/>
&gt; includes 193 countries + Everyone&#39;s Land on equal footing. <br/>
<br/>

 </span></blockquote>well it will be sublime not just to have it all completed & in one place but especially to have this additional fix on everyones land & i would respectfully add regarding both of our respective divagations that i did recently find a remnant of your tabulations of 12nm & 200nm etc specs by country so i cant help reiterating my uncontrollable desire for a sovereign territorial or so to say high water representation also m</div>
