Russian language rules

[Tony Lin]

Dear All,

Which preposition should one use when referring to Taiwan? I know in Polish 
they use "na", but I have heard different versions in Russian. Taiwan may be 
tricky because it is both an island and a country. Is there a general rule 
when to use the preposition "na" vs. "v"? What about expressing locations in 
Florida? in Sicily?

Thanks,
Tony Lin
