@StupidBunny: please check your source link; it leads me to the home page for Wikipedia.
I'm trying to understand your criteria for including and excluding discontinuous parts of a country. From reading your comments and others' comments it seems like there are three criteria that the discontinuous territory must meet for the country to be included:
- It must be discontinuous with the rest of country, not reachable from the mother country by land.
- It must be an integral part of the mother country, politically speaking.
- It must not be a part of a first-level subdivision that exists in the mother country.
So Croatia doesn't appear in the quiz because Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian islands while they meet criteria 1 and 2, fail on account of 3. Likewise, Ceuta and Melilla would have failed to be included in this quiz prior to 1995 because while meeting criteria 1 and 2, they would have failed 3 because they were respectively part of Cadiz and Malaga provinces. And the enclaves/exclaves (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_enclaves_and_exclaves) presumably all fail because the enclaves/exclaves are all presumably part of some first-level subdivision in the mother country and so fail the third criteria? Is that right, or was your intention something else? |
