 Kanton Atoll --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Kanton also spelled Canton, also called Abariringa, largest and northernmost of the Phoenix Islands, a coral group situated in the west-central Pacific Ocean and constituting part of Kiribati.
Located 1,630 miles (2,610 km) southwest of Hawaii, Kanton's circular coral reef, occupying 3.5 square miles (9 square km), encloses a lagoon 7 by 3 miles (11 by 5 km).
Atolls consist of ribbons of reef that may not always be circular but whose broad configuration is a closed shape up to dozens of kilometres across, enclosing a lagoon that may be approximately 50 m (160 feet) deep or more.

 The Kanton Mission
Bruce Yoho, the individual who recovered the engine in 1971 (and now an active TIGHAR member), came along to show us where he dumped the Pratt and Whitney R1340 which he had found on a reef on one of the other islands of the Phoenix Group.
A November 1974 memo on Environmental Conditions of Canton Island states that "Most bulky noncombustibles are deposited in an area adjacent to the landfill, but there are other scattered areas with minor accumulations." The small junkyard where Bruce dumped the engine would seem to be one of these.
Once we were on the ground at Canton Island (officially Kanton since 1979) it became obvious that much had been done that was not mentioned in the official paperwork.

All the constitutions mention that the canton (kanton for the Bosniacs - zupanija for the Bosnian Croats) can have its own coat of arms, flag, seal and hymn.
Only two constitutions were describing the coa and the flag: I didn't understand, but: - these two canton were cantons with a croat majority as there was written "zupanija" and as the coat of arms (as far as I understood) was based on the coat of arms of Croatia and the flag being red-white-blue
As I have noted before, in Croatian names the word "zkanton' should be used also in Croatian version.

 Bosnian Podrinje Canton Gorazde (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
It seems that in al the documents there (including the constitution) the full name of the canton is "Bosansko-podrinjski kanton Gorazde" at least since 1997.
No, I don't think that his is the case, but surely, this canton is not the only one that is situated in Bosnian Podrinje (Podrinje means region along Drina river), most of the eastern Republic of Srpska is situated in Bosnian Podrinje, of course, since Drina forms its eastern border.
The flag of the kanton has two vertical stripes blue-yellow with the coat of arms in the middle.
