          Partial:




          I have answers for each section but have no idea how to put them together.




          Calculate Christopher Columbus's coccyges




          coccyges is the plural of coccyx (the tail bone), of which Christopher Columbus would have had ONE(1)




          characterize Cyprus, Cuba or Crete




          Each of these places are islands, so I would characterise them as such.




          Count couplet's components




          A couplet comprises of TWO(2) components.




          country's command central, Cairo, Chicago and Cebu.




          Cairo is in Egypt, Chicago is in the USA, and Cebu is in the Philippines. These have the ISO 3166 country codes of EG, US, and PH respectively (if that means anything). To me, command central would indicate the country's capital cities, Cairo is Egypt's capital, but Chicago is not even the capital of Illinois, let alone the entire US, and Cebu City is the capital of the Cebu province, but Manilla is the capital of the Philippines.

            Pretty sure the clue is leading us to




            ONE [Columbus had one coccyx] ISLAND [Cyprus, Cuba, Crete] TWO [components in a couplet] CAPITALS [country's command central, of which we had some examples, though Chigago and Cebu -- strictly Cebu City -- are capitals of units smaller thean a country]




            in which case the obvious 10-letter answer is




            HISPANIOLA.

              Answer :




              Caribbeans (10 characters although it's actually Caribbean '-')




              Reasoning:




              Well then, Coccyges would mean in this case his legacy since He led the first European expeditions to the Caribbean.

              Cyprus, Cuba or Crete are islands and so Caribbean's islands.

              And it counts a double b which can be considered as a couplet.

              For the last one, I'm not quite sure;

              Egypt and The philippines' ComCent (command central) are in Cairo and Cebu but it's not the case for the US.

              And I can't really find a link to the riddle.

                              Answer :




                              Caribbeans (10 characters although it's actually Caribbean '-')




                              Reasoning:




                              Well then, Coccyges would mean in this case his legacy since He led the first European expeditions to the Caribbean.

                              Cyprus, Cuba or Crete are islands and so Caribbean's islands.

                              And it counts a double b which can be considered as a couplet.

                              For the last one, I'm not quite sure;

                              Egypt and The philippines' ComCent (command central) are in Cairo and Cebu but it's not the case for the US.

                              And I can't really find a link to the riddle.
