I think land borders should be added to the description as many of these countries share more borders, just not land ones.

Aso, Denmark technically is connected with Sweden via the Øresund Bridge giving it two land borders.

You could also argue embassies are exclaves and therefore create borders.

i completely disagree with that statement. many of these have been countries for centuries. they all have their own history, and some even have some ethnical and cultural differences.

So if we can find ethnic or cultural differences between Manhattan and Harlem they should be spun off in to independent countries? That's stupid. Grow up and learn to get along with your neighbors better.

Normally I agree with most of Kal's controversial comments and the other times he has convinced me but this is just one I disagree with(obviously I'm still open to being convinced). Europe has had many of those micronations for a while.

@kalbahamut You can't compare neighborhoods in an ethnically diverse city to a country, especially in a country that did not start from ethnic reasons.

Perhaps you can't, but I can, as demonstrated.

San Marino was a nation centuries before Manhattan and Harlem had their first European visitors.

Not any semi-organised circle of cottages. Just ones that happen to be the headquarters of the world's largest religious organisation, are tax havens for the leaders of other countries, are shoved up a mountain somewhere or on a remote island so that nobody can be bothered to conquer them, or some combination of the above (I can't imagine the UK, Ireland, Denmark or Portugal come under the category of circles of cottages). The list would only be so short for continental North America because they will allow any roughly-sliced third of a continent with a few extra disconnected appendages added on based on who will sell it, with little in common except a common language, currency and government (whose power is often delegated to local governments) be a "country" there.

Level 65

Apr 9, 2020

Wouldn't this list be very long for North America? It would be 13 countries long, 14 if you only count borders that are part of the continent.

Level 79

Sep 13, 2022

Because Central America is basically one large isthmus, and the area of the continent north of Central America is remarkably united. Plus there are a lot of Caribbean island nations. So almost every country in North America borders few or no other countries. Very different reasons.

I'm sorry, but you are forgetting the POLITICAL REASONS that places become countries. Nobody would just make a driveway as an internationally recognized country. It would have to exist for specific reasons. Ask someone else, "why does Monaco exist," or "Liechtenstein," or "Andorra," or any country you believe exists just because they "let it exist."

small???? Have you ever seen that bridge? When it was built it was the longest road-rain bridge in the world.

Aug 20, 2020

I've taken the train over it (it's actually a double-decker bridge, with the rail line on the lower deck, and the road on the top deck). And I vote for big :)

AfroEurasia is one landmass, too. Artificial canals aside.

Level 76

Sep 13, 2022

Some redundancy there - have you ever seen a canal that is not artificial?

Level 79

Sep 20, 2022

No... but the redundant adjective was there to underline the point that canals are not natural features of the landscape, for those who might not be familiar with the precise definition.

I have a feeling one of these days, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan will be considered European countries--given their politics and geographic location, among other things. If that happens, the world will recognize them as such, but I'm wondering if this site will. Years ago, I "knew" Cyprus was Asian. In later years, most of the sources I found indicated it was European. People on this site are so hung up on geographical location as the sole determiner for this country. If you want to argue that Cyprus is Asian for the purposes of this site, that's great. But at some point, you have to drop your stubborn hold, and consider Cyprus for what she is--European (or at least Eurasian). And you contradict yourselves by representing Taiwan and Kosovo as countries, when they are not in the UN. If your basis for Cyprus is geography, what's your basis for country vs non-country?

I haven't found a convincing argument to why Gibraltar shouldn't be considered as part of the UK.

They're not self-governing, but dependent on the crown.

UK law applies fully there.

They even had a vote in the Brexit referendum, which explicitly applied to UK.

British Virgin Islands didn't, for instance, and even Jersey and Guernsey didn't.

Level 76

Dec 1, 2025

The convincing argument is that British Overseas Territories do not form a part of the United Kingdom despite being subject to its jurisdiction.

Level 86

Dec 1, 2025

Places that are part of the UK are represented in Westminster, the UK's national legislature. Gibraltar is not, because it has its own legislature. Constitutional status is complex, but a good rule of thumb is that if there isn't an MP representing it, it's not part of the UK.

Gib had a vote on Brexit because unlike Jersey and Guernsey, it was a part of the EU under the UK's accession arrangements. Gibraltar was unique among overseas territories in this respect, but that doesn't make it part of the UK.
