Travelers Century Club considers the following "countries" that have not been separately pictured above: Java and Sumatra (Indonesia) are considered separate as are Tanzania and Zanzibar,  Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands,  European and Asiatic Turkey,  and Israel and Palestine.  Additionally, I can include the good old USA.
