Two US territories are listed both under States and Countries:

Northern Mariana Islands
( http://googleglobetrotting.com/show.php/t/state/state/MP and http://googleglobetrotting.com/show.php/t/country/country/MP )

Puerto Rico
( http://googleglobetrotting.com/show.php/t/country/country/PR and http://googleglobetrotting.com/show.php/t/state/state/PR )

Obviously Northern Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico are commonwealth associated with the US, not states.

I guess my point is the entries in either one need to be merged with whichever is deemed the proper designation. They are completely separate categories. Going to PR via the state selector will not give you any of the maps you get by going to PR via the country selector and v.v.

Good point. I've removed them as states and moved all maps into the country category.

You might want to do the same for:
  • Palau
  • Virgin Islands, U.S.
  • Guam
  • American Samoa
  • Marshall Islands
They're all double-listed as well.
