Banaba Island - Part of Kiribati, Administered from Fiji!

Banaba Island is an interesting political anomaly. It is part of Kiribati but administered from Rabi Island of Fiji

Copying from wiki:

Banaba Island is a political anomaly. Despite being part of Kiribati, its municipal administration is by the Rabi Council of Leaders and Elders, which is based on Rabi Island, in Fiji.

On 19 December 2005, Teitirake Corrie, the Rabi Island Council's representative to the Parliament of Kiribati, said that the Rabi Council was considering giving the right to remine Banaba Island to the government of Fiji. This followed the disappointment of the Rabi Islanders at the refusal of the Kiribati Parliament to grant a portion of the A$614 million trust fund from phosphate proceeds to elderly Rabi islanders. Corrie asserted that Banaba is the property of their descendants who live on Rabi, not of the Kiribati government, asserting that, "The trust fund also belongs to us even though we do not live in Kiribati". He condemned the Kiribati government's policy of not paying the islanders.

On 23 December, Reteta Rimon, Kiribati's High Commissioner to Fiji, clarified that Rabi Islanders were, in fact, entitled to Kiribati government benefits - but only if they returned to Kiribati. She called for negotiations between the Rabi Council of Leaders and the Kiribati government.

On 1 January 2006, Corrie called for Banaba to secede from Kiribati and join Fiji. Kiribati was using Banaban phosphate money for its own enrichment, he said; of the five thousand Banabans in Fiji, there were fewer than one hundred aged seventy or more who would be claiming pensions.

There seems to have been enclaves of Bhutan and Ladakh in Tibet. These are not existent anymore.

Island traded for New York

Run island in Indonesia ( Banda Islands) was exchanged by Britain with Dutch for New Amsterdam, which is currently called New York. So this small 3km long island was equivalent to New York in barter. Who says history isn't strange

Hindu majority princely state that acceded to Pakistan

Princely state of Amarkot is an interesting case. It had a hindu majority population but had acceded to Pakistan during partition. Seems to be because of the king's love for Sind and hatred for Congress.
Interesting nevertheless
