		Timor, a Malay word for “Orient”, is an island of the Malay archipelago, the largest and easternmost of the Lesser Sundas.
		The island of Timor was first colonized in the 17th century by the Dutch, who occupied the western part of the island, and by the Portuguese, who took over the eastern section.

	Economic Geography: Contesting the Boundaries of International Justice: State Countermapping and Offshore Resource ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Abstract: The ongoing struggle between East Timor and Australia over access to and control of the oil and natural gas resources contained within the seabed between the two countries is manifest in the form of contested boundaries.
		Australia's map is based on the status quo-a legacy of a 1989 agreement between Australia and the Indonesian occupier of East Timor at that time-while that of East Timor represents an enlarged notion of what its sea boundaries should be and thus entails a redrawing of the map.
		By examining the ongoing struggle between East Timor and Australia over natural gas and oil resources in the seabed between the two countries, this case study highlights the potential effectiveness of state countermapping as a tool in helping to realize the interests of the weaker party in an interstate competition.
