Almost is the longest word in the English Language where all the letters are in alphabetical order Aegilops. Latin

But also a word in the English language. Anyway, "Chintz" is just as long as "Almost" and satisfies the progressive alphabetical requirement.

Obviously referring to geographical features.
I suspect that the landmass that Englandland is located on is not in fact an island but for some reason island status has been applied.

I suppose so but if you took away all the water would it then be true everywhere was the same country?

No because countries are not defined by water. Some are but not all. For example the border between France and Switzerland is not a waterway.
Loads of other examples but most of my work is around the French Swiss border so it's the one I am most familiar with.

I wonder if it is true that modern English is equally divided into French, Latin and Anglo-Saxon? No wait, the Germans and the Greeks would have summat to say about that. Anyway 'abhors' became accepted into English following a risible marketing drive for piss in a bottle ("The French abhor L'Plait D'or").
Maybe its about common usage.
