What about Madagascar? I think it qualifies.

not from the bottom (i.e. south)

What about Australia? It’s sort of dangling from Papua New Guinea, isn’t it?

except Australia is a lot bigger than PNG

True, but since size wasn’t explicitly mentioned as a condition, it should be fine.

It has to be an island though. Australia is not an island.

So, South America ? Heading towards a country in which I'd like to belong.

What about Long Island?

Not really dangling. It's side by side.
