The Most Complex International Borders inwards the World
inwards this video I seem at some of the most complex international border. Of course, there are to a greater extent than complex borders inwards the world, but this video looks at some of my favourites.
I seem at the 3 enclaves countries of the world: Vatican City, San Marino and Lesotho. As well as Campione d’Italia, an Italian exclave which is an enclave of Switzerland.
I then take things up a notch and seem at enclaves within enclaves. The town of Baarle which is inwards the Netherlands and Belgium is an incredibly complicated border. But non quite as much as the Cooch Behar region of India and Bangladesh.
This is followed by a seem at the odd situation of Bir Tawil, the only unclaimed solid ground on Earth exterior of Antarctica (which is itself a place for complex borders!)
I finish off the video by looking at the island of Cyprus, which may seem similar a borderless island, but is inwards fact far from it!
