Check EA5OL for what they are claiming as a new entity cleared by DXCC.
I'd say that's more wishful thinking on his part. Llivia is separated
from mainland Spain by a 2km strip of land (according to Wikipedia).
This is what the League says about separation for land-based (i.e.
non-Island) new entity creation:
-------------------------
2. Geographic Separation Entity:
A Geographic Separation Entity may result when a single Political
Entity is physically separated into two or more parts. The part of
such a Political Entity that contains the capital city is considered
the Parent for tests under these criteria. One or more of the
remaining parts resulting from the separation may then qualify for
separate status as a DXCC Entity if they satisfy paragraph a) or b)
of the Geographic Separation Criteria, as follows.
a) Land Areas:
A new Entity results when part of a DXCC Entity is separated from its
Parent by 100 kilometers or more of land of another DXCC Entity.
Inland waters may be included in the measurement. The test for
separation into two areas requires that a line drawn along a great
circle in any direction from any part of the proposed Entity must not
touch the Parent before crossing 100 kilometers of the intervening DXCC Entity.

I think it's about 98 km too close to count.
