Canada now has a land border with Denmark. Have fun with that.
Small text explains that exclaves are excluded, otherwise Brazil also has a land border with France.
Had to think about this but I don’t think an island is considered an exclave.
The reason for this is because it is entirely surrounded by water, not another piece of land. Islands are not usually considered to be exclaves.
https://homework.study.com/explanation/is-hawaii-an-exclave.html it’s paywalled but the answer came through on google.
The island is right beside both Canadian and Denmark (greenland) land, so it’s not exactly isolated or surrounded by either.
Edit: I’m wrong, ignore the rest of my comment. Leaving it around for the world to see my shame.
An enclave is one country’s land that’s completely surrounded by another country’s land.
The land border between Canada and Denmark is on an island, and each country “owns” half the island. There’s no enclave involved here.
Canadians: Look how they massacred my boy
I like how organized North and Central America are
I realize it could be a lot harder to organize but I’d be interested in a version of this where the size of the country corresponds to the number of countries it touches. In this version seems like we get some weird shapes/sizes just to fit everything into a circle.
This is wrong, argentina also borders bolivia and Paraguay doesn’t border chile
