First new country in 2018ツ... only 22 more to find according to the countries list (193 member states) recognized by the United Nations... the sea port of Point Cruz is the main port of entry into the Solomon Islands... many international shipping and passenger boats companies operate from here... Thanks a lot Pieter!【ツ】
