Dear explorer colleagues!
Every now and then the question arises, what, exactly, does constitute a so-called "country point"? I.e, when does a person have the bragging rights to say they have 'been' to a certain country?
Let's discuss and make our Society rule for once & all. Please voice your comments and thoughts below.
Some issues:
- if a person travels through a (narrow piece) of country, without leaving the coach or train, that shouldn't be a point
- if a person leaves the train station or airport for a couple of hours about the town, does that count? How about walking both sides of a int'l border?
- how about territories that are quite different from the ruling entity? For example, would Puerto Rico be considered simply another trip to the good ol' U.S? Or Greenland or Reunion Island Denmark & France, respectively? Or should territories like this get at least 1/2 point?
Other issues?
Let's try to solve this, and see who has the biggest bragging rights!
Yours truly,
Paddlewick, esq.
