The Most Complex International Borders in the World

The

international

border between two countries defines where one country ends and another begins. This is something that should be incredibly simple but often isn't and national

borders

come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some are simply an imaginary laying in the middle of the street. while others are much more clearly defined and some are even guarded 24/7, but before I begin I need to quickly define a couple of code terms an exclave and includes a country or part of a country which is completely surrounded by another country while an exclave is part of a country that is geographically separated from the rest of the country in this example, country II is an included country B because it is completely surrounded by it in the following example, why is it a country exclave that excludes does not necessarily always include? two either because they have more than one border or because they have a coast or both and this training example exposes an anklet and the network cliff is an enclave of country B and an enclave of country E there are three countries in the

world

that are locked by another country, the first of which is Vatican City, home of the Pope and the smallest country in the

world

, which is a code name for Italy and SLE apparently loves because it also has the country of San Marino nestled within its

borders

, but if that's not enough to convince us that you love inclusivity, take a look, you can't possibly need Italy, an Italian enclave that is an N clip within Switzerland.

This small municipality that is home to 2000 Italians uses the Swiss franc as its currency and is exempt from EU versus ET. In fact, we should take great advantage in the form of the largest casino in Europe, so Italy is a country that has not one but two countries within its borders and part of it is included within another country, the last and, with difference, largest claimed country in the world. as Lesotho with a population of just over two million is surrounded by South Africa to put the size into perspective from each center here is a comparison between San Marino and Vatican City and here is the zoo for a suitor that is seventy thousand times the size of Vatican City now A country within a country is all well and good, but it's not exactly that

complex

, so let's take things up a notch.

We've looked at inclusion and let's look at clays under the name clays, also known now as counter-English or second-order enclaves. I'm not talking about country A within country B within country C, well, that would be an inclusion within an inclusion. There are no examples of that in the world. I'm talking about country A within country B within country A. Again, there are three examples. The least

complex

wedge is in the Middle East and the border between the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Here we can see a single clip from the Emmer clip, which is an ending clip from an Imani 8 clip which in turn is an ending clip from the United Arab Emirates.

Emirates and this is the least complex of the three examples. Next we move to Europe, where things start to get ridiculous with the border between the Netherlands and Belgium and the intertwined municipalities of Bar Nassau and Burrell Hair Talk, which is something like this. and the total of 22,000 includes and 8j includes seven of which are cliffs, but these are not just imaginary lanes. Every inch of the border within the city is clearly marked, letting you know which country you are in and the border runs through al

most

everything it passes through streets, so your next door neighbors may not live in the same area. country.

The H numbers clearly indicate which country the residents live in. You also go through shots where you can select raisins in one country and pay for them in other restaurants and cafes were different tables for different countries, the carfax allowed you to park legally in two countries at the same time and even people's houses, some residents of loan they wake up in the Netherlands and prepare their breakfast in Belgium, but in which countries do these people live? the border runs directly through your house, well the answer is very simple, wherever the front door is, that is the country you live in.

Well, it's simple unless you live in DES. The house on the western border goes directly through the entrance door, this is the only house that is part of in both countries it has two doorbells, one for each country and help numbers because it has two addresses before 1985 the borders were not marked and we will go big this caused an unfortunate situation for a belgian living in belgium or so he thought. 1985, when the border was precisely marked, it was revealed that he was actually loving the Netherlands and not Belgium legally. At that point he would have to change the address to him or the Netherlands, but he was not willing to go through the bureaucratic nightmare of having to change the country to which he pays. taxes and changed his company in four phases, you tell us that he is here to say that he decided to move his front door instead. genie who lives in vile may seem like a bit of a name here, but it's actually not because both countries are part of the EU's Schengen area borders are completely open, allowing free travel between the countries and since 2002 both countries use the euro and there are no language barriers either because Dutch is the official language of northern Belgium, but just when I thought things couldn't get any more complicated.

Wait until you see the anklet complex between India and Bangladesh, the single border alone comprises 80% of the world's enclaves with one hundred and six English Indians than Bangladesh and 92 includes Bangladesh within India and, convincingly, 188 include 24 of them are second order. in clays and this border also has the only third order and cliff in the world and includes within an anklet with an increase that is part of India and says road Bangladesh and says pop India that and says by the plate but ridiculous that says unfortunately it is It is actually a very serious problem and completely different from the situation in Europe and the entangled days do not have open borders, so the 50,000 people living in the enclaves are basically trapped, the government does not provide them with anything, so They have no access to basics of life such as running water, electricity or gas, and there are no schools, so enclaves and emergency services will not cross borders, so crime is extremely prevalent in 2011, governments of both countries agreed to see the objective.

They claim the land of Ice Walton, but more than two years later and still nothing has changed, however, some small progress has been made, the team is an outer and inner V corridor that separates

most

of Bangladesh from the mainland. It has been leased by the Indian government. allow residents to travel to the mainland, although a saying that was first proposed in 1974 and took almost 40 years to reach agreement, is now moving away from the enclaves and towards the land that no one wants, which is in the African desert between Egypt and However, Sudan with exactly the borders is debatable if you ask each of them they will tell you it is here, but if you ask sit down they will tell you it is here.

The overlapping border claims create two areas of land and both countries are the same Clinton land. The Hawaiian triangle leaves adjacent lands unclaimed by both countries. Neither country can claim the land known as the beer towel, as they would have to give up their right to the much more desirable land. If we compare the two areas, the Hollywood triangle are 10 things that Burger has. access to that red sea has several settlements and small towns where the beer towel is long lost and completely uninhabited the origin of the dispute dates back to 1890 name before Sudan was an independent country and was a condominium between the United Kingdom and Egypt known as Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, the border was established in the twin city in parallel and then, three years later, the British through a new language they called administrative boundary better reflected the use of the land, this is because Egyptian trade that used to land south of the 22nd parallel and The people living in the Hal a triangle were culturally more closely related to the Sudanese population, therefore, in 1956, when Sudan became independent, they assumed that the administrative boundary was the border.

Egypt assumed it was the 22nd parallel. The triangle is currently administered by Egypt, but the majority. maps simply use a dotted line for the disputed border the beer towel is the only unclaimed land Oh save Antarctica and speaking of Antarctica, this is another place for complex borders, that's Rhea, even a continent without government or permanent population has

international

borders, well, it more or less claims to have real borders with parts of Antarctica claimed by the United Kingdom Norway Australia France New Zealand Anasuya things get complicated Chile and Argentina belong to the safe waste is not claimed, so that basically three countries clear the land and no country claims the land at all the reason no one has cleared it is the cause of the Antarctica treaty article for an established treaty which states that the treaty does not recognize disputes nor establish claims of territorial sovereignty. no new clearing will be done while the treaty is in force the treaty is signed by 50 countries including all countries that have land claims on the continent, although Russia and the United States have reserved the right to claim land, this means that any new claim made on the continent will not be recognized and basically the old current claims have no official sovereignty over their claims.

The last place to look for complex borders is the island of Cyprus. Now you would be forgiven for thinking that Cyprus does not have complex borders or that you know any borders, but Cyprus is an absolutely major field of border complexities. åland is divided roughly in half by the UN buffer zone separating the Republic of Cyprus from the self-proclaimed independent and unrecognized country of Northern Cyprus and then there are these sovereign base areas under British control, but the complications are not clear. make and there was return to enclaves and exclave again with the Edgecliff of northern Cyprus on the northwest coast of the island and within the area of ​​the eastern sovereign base of Kelley, another 4 were the cypress of which surely includes two of which They are so close that they are only separated by a British road and If we look closer here we can see the same thing again: the British passed through Cyprus and it is the only part of Eilat that is not divided by the UN buffer zone.

The British road basically acts as a de facto international border, but in reality it is not an international border because Northern Cyprus is considered occupied territory of the Republic of Cyprus and is hardly recognized as a country, only one member of the UN recognizes the North from Cyprus, Turkey, which is not surprising given that the official name of Northern Cyprus is the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus because the border irregularities date back to before 1960, when the island of Cyprus was a British colony; Then, when Cyprus gained its independence, the United Kingdom kept the lands around it.

RAF bases given their strategic locations just off the Middle East, then in 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and took About 40 percent of the land barriers were built in the middle of the languages ​​they now consider the peacekeepers of the UN. Then in 1983 the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was established and not much has changed since then, of course this is by no means an exhaustive list. There are much more complex borders in the world, such as the border between North and South Korea, which is not technically a border because they are still technically at war, or the maritime border between the Diamonds, which is also the International Date Line. , so the state would be four kilometers.

Between the islands there is a retention difference of 23 years but those are topics for another day thanks for watching
