You guys are tough to keep up with. Now I don't know whether I'm a troll or 
not. Talk about an identity crisis. I'll tell my shrink to go ahead and 
order that new Mercedes.

ObOnTopic: The UNGIWG/UNSALB GAUL dataset has a more correct-looking border 
(assuming the Bing border shown is more correct). I've previously tried to 
get Google to use this dataset for international borders at least 
(apparently without success), since it appears to be sourced from 
individual countries and treaties, cross-checked, etc. Even just an audit 
against that data would have flagged this fairly wide discrepancy for research.
