Maps are hard

"The exchange between India and Bangladesh means that the world will not only lose one of its most unique borders, but it will also lose the only third-order enclave in the world – an enclave surrounded by an enclave surrounded by an enclave surrounded by another state."

Actually, maps aren't so hard—well, most geopolitical maps, anyway. But geopolitical boundaries? Those can be very hard. There are lots and lots of enclaves, at all levels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_enclaves_and_exclaves. Know anybody who lives in Piedmont? And Ellis Island is an enclave of the City of New York being that it is completely surrounded by the State of New Jersey.

Thanks. This was fascinating.

I used to. A friend has a house that straddles the border as well. The stove was in Piedmont, the dining table in Oakland.
