**jjimm** , I want to echo the other comments regarding your fine work on the maps. One discrepancy that I noticed, however, is Taiwan. **Ringo** ’s list includes it, but it’s not been pinked yet.

Added: Switzerland, Taiwan, and 'Nam. And I coloured in the little islands between Sweden and Finland, though I don’t know who owns them.

They are called [Åland](http://www.aland.fi/) and form an atonomous province in Finland. As a curiosity they are not part of the EU, which means that all ferries between Finland and Sweden make a stop-over there to be able to sell tax free goods on board.

**jjimmadds**! If you’re still pinking in those maps you had add a bit more for free. You have missed the Angola enclave of Cabinda - part of Angola but squeezed between Congo and DRG. Only adds three electrons worth but it all helps…

Cannot believe we have had no dopers from Brunei - lots of expats there who should have spread the word. Would also test you on making sure you got all the little separate bits of that countries pinked in correctly. He, he!

**jjimm** you have colored in Peru but it’s not on **Ringo** ’s list. I think I saw some poster from Peru so you might be right.
