Know that my geography is the worst - is W. Virgina a separate state? - but I see a discrepancy here ...

LOL! Yes, West Virginia is an actual state. However, the Florida Keys are not. But, if you have ever lived there, you would swear you were not only in a different state, but a different country

But, tazi, your explanation doesn't justify how Cozumel become an independent state

Mexico
Canada
England
France
Czech Republic
Germany
Scotland

Not much, I know.
And I don't want to hear anything about Scotland not being part of the U.K. The locals will argue you to death on the subject.

Tazi .. well Mississippi always feels like a different country to me but it does not appear to be so on most maps.
I am interested to learn from your list that YAP is now apparently an independent country?

Oops. I saw your post above with YAP in it, but see on closer look it was quoting birdstrike. Apologies. Just smiled to see it claimed as a "country" no matter who posted it.
(Hey, does Opryland count. Anyone know? )

I know I flew in easily from Merida, in the Yucatan, which offers Havana hotel and flight packes for $250 or whatever, and Canada has offered frequent direct flights there for a decade or so which are well patronised. I noticed last month in Miami a huge UA logo sign in United terminal area pointing to "Miami Charter Flights".
