 </span></blockquote>Yes and no. Yes, I mean East Timor, which new official name even in <br/>
English is Timor-Leste (see UN and ISO documents). They changed also <br/>
the code TP (former Timor Português, i.e. Portuguese Timor) to the <br/>
new TL.<br/>
Timor-Leste is in Asia or in Oceania (I&#39;ve seen both), depending on <br/>
where you set the continental border: in Timor, in Papua, or <br/>
somewhere else. (The East Timorese people is ethnically classed as <br/>
Austronesian).<br/>
Well these arguable issues depend much on &quot;international <br/>
understanding&quot;, as you said.<br/>
