<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt; So it was still Turkish enough in the middle of last year for them <br/>
&gt; &gt; to be spending big money on it.<br/>
&gt; then its a frag&perf<br/>
&gt; isnt it<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Well, it seems more like one of Arif&#39;s virtual enclaves to me. The<br/>
treaty wording is that the tomb &quot;will be the property of Turkey, and<br/>
Turkey will place guards there and will raise the Turkish flag.&quot;<br/>
There&#39;s no mention of it being on Turkish soil, so it seems more like<br/>
an embassy than an enclave - sitting on top of Syria, rather than<br/>
perforating it.<br/>
 <br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; & so how does your ongoing worldwide frag&perf census stand now with <br/>
&gt; this & the new uruguayan islands added <br/>
 </span></blockquote>So far 278 perfs and 338 frags, what with one thing and another. I&#39;ll<br/>
upload a new file to replace the old one soon.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; also have you factored in the newfound condo areas<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I&#39;ve been ignoring condos in my border survey - since I&#39;m working from<br/>
93 basic nations, the condos constitute some sort of blurring of the<br/>
border region but don&#39;t change the topology of what borders on what<br/>
else. (As far as I can see. Anyone disagree?)<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;  eshoni<br/>
 </span></blockquote>El Salvador/Honduras/Nigeria? Wow.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; or are you looking complete now with these additions<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I always think I&#39;m looking complete, but I never am. I just try to<br/>
update the Perfs & Frags file whenever anything new comes along. Ray<br/>
has mentioned a new Moldovan exclave in the Ukraine to me, for<br/>
instance, but I have no details.<br/>
Meanwhile, for the border survey, I&#39;m waiting for a copy of Jane&#39;s<br/>
Exclusive Economic Zones, to get some up-to-date border information on<br/>
my chosen maritime zone.<br/>
