One island, dominated by many countries.

Probably not many countries, particularly island states that the islands controlled by many countries. Indonesia has at least four islands occupied by many governments.

Kalimantan (Borneo), one of the world's largest island is an island that has 3 admistratif the Indonesia government in southern Kalimantan, while the northern part of Kalimantan is owned by the government of Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam

There was also the island of Sebatik which is a smaller island where the border between the two countries, namely Indonesia and Malaysia are very clearly among the settlements that exist on the island so that the resulting population in the area could have land in the two countries could be even a single village in the region different countries.

Papua (Irian) island in eastern Indonesia is also an island in Indonesia that the government shared with Papua Nuigini.

The island of Timor is an island located in the District NTT (East Nusa Tenggara) which also has two governments, this occurs when the state of East Timor which was established in 2002. So the territory of Timor island is administratively divided by the two governments of Indonesia and Timor Leste.

Indonesia has at least four distinct sovereignty of the islands with each island, are there other countries that have the same number of islands?
