@kevanhubbard9673 I have wished that that were such a common belief, that it would be official that underwater tunnels through the bedrock count as land and that England for example has no longer been an island. Because making England a part of the continent by boring a tunnel was far easier, faster and more affordable than building a land embankment bridge. Although a land embankment bridge would be nicer, because it's actual land above the water and out in the environment. But I would be completely dissatisfied with the idea that an over-water bridge would be an official land connection. Or a floating bridge, a floating tunnel, an underwater tunnel (elevated like an underwater bridge), or even a submerged tunnel. The narrowest land link that I would be satisfied with would be like a concrete dam. Vladimir Putin proposed a dam be built from Russia to Alaska. Not only for a rail link for cargo, but for Russia, mainly to pump warm water from the Pacific Ocean, into the Arctic Ocean, throughout the winters. To keep the surface of the Arctic Ocean from freezing up, while Russia drills for oil in the seabed throughout the years. Which is why Russia wants to claim all of the Arctic. Which is why Russia used a submersible to set up a 3 ft tall, titanium Russian flag on the seabed, at the North Pole.

4:53- The Principality of Andorra has the distinction of being the only nation whose official language is Catalan - the language of the much larger eastern autonomous Spanish region of Catalonia [with Barcelona as that region's capital city]. While some consider Catalan to be a Spanish dialect, it is in fact linguistically closer to France's Provencal language than Castilian Spanish! Also, Andorra is the largest independent nation that has no airport. It is technically a CO-Principality with its two ruling princes being the Bishop of the [ northern Catalonian town of] Urgel and the President of France[ the latter ruler having 'inherited' it thanks to a series of dynastic marriages/changes of forms of government which transferred the title from the small now extinct County of Foix in the French Pyrenees].

It's relatively new. It used to be a dispute called the Whiskey War. They'd previously agreed to put the border down the middle of the sea channel, but that left the island as a gap. After Russia invaded Ukraine, the Canadian and Danish Governments wanted to make a point about how to deal with border disputes peacefully, so they made a deal to formally split the island.

"The UK technically does have other borders..." - no, it really doesn't. Akrotiri and Dhekelia are overseas territories - they are not part of the UK, so the UK does not border Cyprus (for the same reason, it doesn't border Spain either). If you're going to use the word "technically", you really should be technically correct.

On the subject of split islands, Sebatik Island is split roughly in half, the north belongs to the Malaysian state of Sabah while the south belongs to the Indonesian province of North Kalimantan. Unlike much of the Bornean land border separating the two countries, there are no border controls and no border fencing with the national boundary is hardly marked. Therefore, you have villages, fields, and at least one house that straddles the border.

Yes it does. Try Google maps. East of Oslo, north of Sundshagsfors in Sweden.

There certainly is an island there and it is called Tannsjørøysa. It is about 100 square meters large and is arguably the smallest natural island divided between two countries. On the island there is an old border stone from 1754 called riksrøys 54.

Surprised the land border between Victoria and Tasmania wasn't mentioned - it's less than 100m long and slightly shorter than the border between Spain and Morocco at Peñon de Vélez

The term “british isles” isn’t accepted by ireland as it implies britain supersedes ireland. Calling it the british and irish isles will do

Only ignorant Irishmen with a chip on their shoulders have that attitude. The British isles is a geographic, not a political term. In 55 B.C. Caesar invaded Britain, not England (because there wasn't one) and Britain was full of Celts. "The Britons, also known as Celtic Britons or Ancient Britons, were an indigenous Celtic people who inhabited Great Britain from at least the British Iron Age until the High Middle Ages, at which point they diverged into the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons. They spoke Common Brittonic, the ancestor of the modern Brittonic languages." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Britons

The name is "Ireland". The "Republic of Ireland " is a description of the country. "British Isles" is also severely antiquated. The more modern name is the North Atlantic Archipelago.

So the Republic of Ireland isn't part of the UK at the minute, right? Man Ireland sounds crazy, i heard about the priests and the boys and all the bombing. Is it better nowadays? Someone says Europe took back control and brothers can live there now. I hope to visit one day, I'm a massive Boston Celtics fan. Religion sucks man. Look at the middle east.

The city of Spokane, Washington, USA gave a 2 acre island in the middle of the Spokane River to Canada to serve as the Canadian Pavilion during the world's fair Expo '74. Renamed "Canada Island," Canada controlled it until 2017 when it transferred the island over to the Spokane Tribe of indigenous people. Since this is an island, perhaps it is more of an exclave than a border.
