I always thought that Jan Mayen was formally part of Svalbard,<br/>
notwithstanding the fact that it is not included in the Svalbard<br/>
treaty, but that it is (at least nominally) governed by the sysselman<br/>
of Svalbard. But it might be old or just wrong information I have. So,<br/>
territorially, what is the status of Jan Mayen? Is it in any way<br/>
incorporated (municipality, county, something else) or does it fall<br/>
directly under the Norwegian state?<br/>
<br/>
B.t.w., strange that for ISO the two do belong together: SJ (Svalbard &<br/>
Jan Mayen)<br/>
