      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

    What about Madagascar? I think it qualifies.

        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.

              It has to be an island though. Australia is not an island.

      Not really dangling. It’s side by side.
