Maybe not this one.


The Islands:

The *Pribilof Islands* (often called the /Fur Seal Islands/, Russian 
</wiki/Russian_language>: /Kotovi/) are a group of four volcanic islands 
</wiki/Volcanic_island>, part of Alaska </wiki/Alaska>, lying in the 
Bering Sea </wiki/Bering_Sea>, about 200 miles north of Unalaska 
</wiki/Unalaska%2C_Alaska> and 200 miles south of Cape Newenham 
</w/index.php?title=Cape_Newenham&action=edit>, the nearest point on the 
North American </wiki/North_America> mainland. The Siberian 
</wiki/Siberia> coast is roughly 500 miles away. About 200 sq km in 
total area, they are mostly rocky, covered with meadow and tundra 
</wiki/Tundra>, and support a human </wiki/Human> population 
</wiki/Population> of somewhat over 600, concentrated in the towns 
</wiki/Towns> of St. Paul </wiki/St._Paul%2C_Alaska> and St. George 
</wiki/St._George%2C_Alaska>, each on an island of the same name.


The Rule:

A new Entity results in the case of an island under any of the following 
conditions:

i) The island is separated from its Parent, and any other islands that 
make up the DXCC Entity that contains the Parent, by 350 kilometers or 
more. Measurement of islands in a group begins with measurement from the 
island containing the capital city. Only one Entity of this type may be 
attached to any Parent.

ii) The island is separated from its Parent by 350 kilometers or more, 
and from any other island attached to that Parent in the same or a 
different island group by 800 kilometers or more.

iii) The island is separated from its Parent by intervening land or 
islands that are part of another DXCC Entity, such that a line drawn 
along a great circle in any direction, from any part of the island, does 
not touch the Parent before touching the intervening DXCC Entity. There 
is no minimum separation distance for the first island Entity created 
under this rule. Additional island Entities may be created under this 
rule, provided that they are similarly separated from the Parent by a 
different DXCC Entity and separated from any other islands associated 
with the Parent by at least 800 km.
