The New Moore Island in the Sunderban delta was the center of a land dispute between India and Bangladesh. Discovered in 1974 by an American satellite, the island grew substantially in size owing to silt deposits by flooding rivers. Both the nations claimed the territory and no solution was found until in 2010, when because of a specific natural cause the dispute ended in a rather dramatic way as none of the nations could claim it. What had happened?

The Most Serene Republic
X, the only country with more
vehicles than people, claims to be the oldest surviving sovereign state and
constitutional republic in the world.
X is governed by a series of
six books written in Latin in the late 16th century, that dictate the country’s
political system, among other matters. The country is considered to have the
earliest written governing documents (constitution) still in effect.
The government of X made United States President Abraham Lincoln an honorary citizen. He wrote in reply, saying that
the republic proved that "government founded on republican principles is
capable of being so administered as to be secure and enduring.”
X has no flat ground and is
entirely composed of hilly terrain.
Id X.

Some Nature Photography
The 3 images are(primarily) of X, Y and Z respectively. There are many of X and Z in the world, but very few of Y- including a prominent one in Rajasthan and lesser known ones in Gujarat, Goa, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Identify X, Y and Z. :)
Answer :
X- Vishnu Temple
Y-Brahma Temple
Z-Shiva Temple
These are names of ridges in the Grand Canyon of Colorado. I think the hints bamboozled many people !
There are many other interesting names to Grand Canyon Ridges like Indian Garden, Buddha Temple, Manu Temple, Deva temple, Zoroaster Temple, Rama Schist etc. Google them and have a look!
This one went uncracked.

Answer :
yossarian caulfield singhania (interesting name! ) is bang on target. Tobu World Square in Nikko, Japan. The place has 1:25 proportioned replicas of major world monuments along with miniature people. Which explains why the Palace of Versailles and the World Trade Centres stand next to each other.
Visit wikipedia for more pics.
