Add Stewart Island off the south of New Zealand to the coalition
It would have had a better chance of making the coalition if they didn't keep leaving it off the map.
Depending on the sea state, Florida qualifies.
One more hurricane should do it.
Do they get separate electoral votes and their own governor then? Could be worth it. If only Democrats could control the weather.
"Bottom" is relative therefore long Island should count
Madagascar agrees.
What about Madagascar? I think it qualifies.
not from the bottom (i.e. south)
What about Australia? It’s sort of dangling from Papua New Guinea, isn’t it?
except Australia is a lot bigger than PNG
True, but since size wasn’t explicitly mentioned as a condition, it should be fine.
So, South America ? Heading towards a country in which I'd like to belong.
It has to be an island though. Australia is not an island.
But there’s water all around it.
What about Long Island?
Not really dangling. It's side by side.
