Prompt 5 of 5

Pin a country that shares an island in the sea with another country

Ruling note: Bare and man-made islets count, such as Hans Island, but river and lake islands don’t. The United States counts as an exception for its leased base at Guantánamo Bay on Cuba; Cuba retains sovereignty over the land. Turkey is on the list only because the card didn’t say whose land the island must be, so pins on it for northern Cyprus keep their points. The Río de la Plata counts as the sea, so Uruguay counts for Timoteo Domínguez, which silt joined to Argentina’s Martín García in the 1980s.

Gem note: They ended the Whisky War in 2022 by splitting Hans Island, which gave each a second land neighbour.
