If you think Brunei had weird situation about cross-border, think again that small town in between them called Limbang. That town, completely cutoff from any Malaysian territory despite in map its not. That because furthermore inland of Limbang only have Mountain and cave which cannot access by land vehicle. Only 2 way Limbang people can cross to other Malaysian by ferry/boat or plane.. They do have road between Brunei, as matter effect, Limbang become center of cross-border land for Brunei.. and both Brunei and Malaysia did a bridge that replacing ferry back in 2011. But that bridge still need pass thru town of Limbang, not as channel/sea as we saw in this video.

Different countries with overseas territories organize their dependencies differently - such that, for example, the UK governs Bermuda, the Falklands, Gibraltar, etc. as overseas territories, whereas France, the Netherlands, and Denmark treat at least many of theirs as integral parts of the mother countries (e.g. French Guiana; New Caledonia; the Dutch West Indies).
@KaiLini It's more like Puerto Rico or Guam, just to name two, that are American overseas territories. Alaska and Hawaii are more akin to Corsica in terms of fully being a part of the mother country while at the same time not officially being a dependency or colony on a list of world dependencies.
When ToyCat goes to Istanbul, he says he'll put one leg in one continent and the other leg in the other continent. Sadly his willy can only be in one continent. :-P
About Istanbul's Bosphorus Bridge. When it was first built in 1973, it did allow pedestrian traffic, but one day a guy committed suicide by jumping off it, and to prevent people from suicide they closed that. It doesn't prevent people though. They go by car, and then jump. Frequently occurring traffic jams allow people to just get out of their cars/taxis and do their deed.
Oh pretty sure it's easy, 5 "paired" rows of 5 and 4 respectively, and another (last) row with 5,so that makes it 5*(5+4)+5 = 45 + 5 = 50 Oh,and BTW, by rows I meant columns though :P
Timor Leste is split in two by Indonesia on the island of Timor, and technically if you count maritime borders, Malaysia is split in two by the Indonesian province of the Riau Islands..

To add another little bit of trivia, There are 2 state capitals of the USA you can not drive to from the other 48, Honolulu Hawaii is the obvious one, the other is Juneau Alaska. The roads in Juneau do not connect to other roads.
Gary D yeah Hawaii is sort of an asterisk because it has its own self-contained portion of the interstate highway system, in fact Honolulu fights with LA for worst traffic every year; meanwhile Alaska doesn’t even have any full freeways in the main portion of its territory, the best you get is 4 lane divided, while the capital Juneau doesn’t have any roads to connect outside it’s metro area, it can only be accessed by boat or plane. Truth be told I’m not 100% sure why Alaska is even a state, as it bears more in common with an unincorporated territory, however from the beginning it was always incorporated, even as a territory, perhaps for the reason I suspect: to deter other nations from attempting to seize a part of America-proper, as opposed to just a possession of it (though being an incorporated territory didn’t save Hawaii from attack, however it did prompt war on Japan as a response, as opposed to the Japanese attacks on the unincorporated American Philippines, which elicited no real American response), however that’s just a theory.
@@TheLocalLt I strongly suspect Alaska became a state because of the July 19 1957 discovery of vast amounts of oil at Swanson river. Money and statehood go together, California 1850 is another example of that.
Gary D right but that wouldn’t have happened if Alaska hadn’t already been integrated into America proper. Likewise to your point though, I believe Alaska’s upgrade to integrated status happened around the same time as the Yukon gold rush
The story behind the split of Croatia is kind of silly. You see, the exclave part was formed by the former Republic of Ragusa while the main coastal part was formed by the former Republic of Venice. And they didn't quite like each other because Venice always wanted to incorporate the smaller Ragusa into her thalassocracy. So Ragusa sold her northern beach to the Ottoman empire as kind of buffer. History rolled up and now we have both the Venetian and Ragusan territory as Croatia, and the sold beach as Bosnia.
4:00 Though Canada is even cracking down on passage to Alaska. There is, however, a ferry from Bellingham, WA, though you may still need a passport card, since the ferry stops in Canada.
True River Well, no, every permanent sc member has disrespected judgements of the icj before (except France) so Russia can throw nukes there, but it’s not allowed to.
I like how everyone blaming Russia for the potential to move a nuke for 500km from its mainland and the US has that island in South CHINA sea and everyone not being bothered at least one bit 🤔😋
mPky1 Russia has ignored the Application of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination case ruling. Regarding Crimea, Russia had an agreed boundary with Ukraine from when we it was part of the USSR (uti possidetis) and it did not have the right to claim (and invade) land that was given to Ukraine. While I’m not a fanatic Putin hater, Russia simply does not follow international law. Nor does the USA, UK, and China, for that matter. It’s not true that whoever votes to join a country is legally part of that country. Take the Ålabd islands, the majority of the population signed to join Sweden, but it was ruled to be Finnish Territory.
@mPky1 I don't know internarnationnal law but this referendum had a lot of issue that could invalidate it. -the referendum wasn't announced so people couldn't think about the pro and con and they couldn't debate either -the referendum wasn't announced so people who left the oblast for work/were un vacation couldn't vote -the russian military was here so litterally people could just be afraid of "voting wrong" and getting killed -no neutral party checked whether the referendum was rigged I'd find it weird that those aren't officially illegal considering how strict the un policy is about referendum (for exampme mayotte has 3 time to be a part of france but ,since france didn't announce that she counted the islands separatly during the first referendum, mayotte is still considered a part of the comoros according to the un)
The thing about driving from the 48 to Alaska is that not a whole lot of people do it. It's a very far drive, especially if you're going to Anchorage/Fairbanks. Airplanes are the most practical transit
That island, about which you said that it is closer to Latvia than to Estonia, but belongs to Estonia (Ruhnu). Before the Second World War, it also belonged to Estonia, but it was inhabited by the Swedish-speaking population.
Overseas of France can get confusing so let me clarify it. There are oversea departments and regions, those are French Guiana, Martinique, Guadeloupe, la Réunion and Mayotte, those are part of France and the EU, and the oversea collectivities: Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélémy, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, Southern and Antarctic French Territories, Clipperton Island, Wallis-et-Futuna, French Polynesia and New Caledonia that aren't part of EU, debatable if they are part of France, they have a higher degree of independence, and New Caledonia even is a special case and they will hold an independence referendum 4th October 2020
You cloud talk about Spain too : Llívia (surrounded by France) and the autonomous cities and some "plazas de soberanía" (sorrounded by Morocco and the sea). Great video :)

A weird option - the UK & Gibraltar. Gibraltar has UK Postcodes - but some would say it isn't part of the UK, but it does share an MEP with an area in South West England: The British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is a part of the European Parliament constituency combined region of South West England and Gibraltar.
Apparently (according to my French teacher) students in French Guiana take the major standardized test (le Bac) that all of France takes at the SAME TIME as the mainland
I went through that bit of Bosnia once. It happened because Dubrovnik (then known as Ragusa) sold that pocket to the Ottoman Empire so it wouldn't have a land boundary with Venice. When the area federated into Yugoslavia they left it.
When they did the border they knew Vancouver Island dipped below the 49th parallel. They both decided it would be stupid to run the border through it. However they did not know about point Roberts, so they just continued what they were ordered to do and keep the border as close to the 49th as possible.
Like your vids. Btw I am from Split in Croatia. Bridge is being built by a chinese company and it is called Pelješki most (bridge) because it goes to Pelješac. Also, it is funded almost entirely by EU so in some way, EU is supporting Chinese economy.
In Argentina we have Tierra del Fuego, which is half of an island we share with Chile. So to get by road, you need to cross the border to Chile, cross a bridge to the island, and then enter again to Argentine territory. There been also problems with Chile when they have closed the border because of different problems, and there was a plan to built a bridge fully in Argentine territory, but south america you know.
9:20 Finland is actually officially bilinguar with finnish and swedish being two equal official languages in the country (though only 5% of the population speaks swedish). There are several primarily swedish speaking cities on and near the coast, so the islands being swedish speaking isn't quite as bizarre as you'd think. Pretty much the entire western coast is more or less swedish speaking. In addition for example the finnish commander in chief during WW2 marshal C. G. E. Mannerheim did not speak finnish, his mother tongue was swedish and as far as we know he never learned finnish. In fact swedish has always been an official language in Finland, unlike finnish, which first became an official language equal to swedish in 1863.
If you look at the maps of the World colonial times, you will find a lot more of these strange (former) border anomalies. Before the decolonisation of North Africa, France was kind of Split in two by Spain being between Metropolitan France on one side and French Morocco and Algeria on the other side.
I’ve driven from California to alaska. Well, I wasn’t driving, my grandparents were, but we did drive to Alaska. It took quite a while, but we had a pretty big RV, so it was a pretty nice trip.
I think that the only one's of these exclaves/enclaves I've done are; Kalingrad, Russia,Ragusta, Croatia,Baarle Nassau/Baarle Hertog, Netherlands/Belgium.
It looks like Stalin had been drunk by a huge gallon of vodka while drawing on the borders of different federation states (Soviet Socialist Republic) of the Soviet Union.
Half of County Leitrim is inaccessible from the other half due to Lough Allen and no bridge over the Shannon. Waterford has a pene-exclave inside of Cork at Sheanbeg near Lismore.
There was a problem with the passage agreement during Covid where people from the states said they were traveling to Alaska, but then vacationing in Banff and returning southwards... Stay classy, states...
