@cmconseils along the same lines, Canada has a land border with Denmark.
Look up Hans Island!
@cmconseils if you don't count the ~5000 km long land border with Australia in Antarctica :)
@cmconseils thanks. I was going to get an early night and instead ended up reading about French overseas departments, and then about British territories overseas to compare governance structures.
Fascinating but not the early night with a book I’d planned.
I'm actually more surprised that Belgium, Spain and Switzerland are before Suriname, and that Belgium and Switzerland are before Italy and Germany.
(not to flex that I knew about the Brazil border, I'm actually terrible at geography I'm just French so biased on that specific fact)
Like if you asked me to order them I would maybe have put:
Brazil (because I knew the fact) > Suriname > Spain > Germany > Italy > Belgium > Swiitzerland > Luxembourg > Andora (and I would have forgotten about Monaco)
@cmconseils Denmark's second-longest land border is with Canada
@cmconseils Não tinha prestado atenção nessa parte. Kkkk
There are also points in France where they send people to Canada to be treated as needed.
@cmconseils Belgium should invade Luxembourg in order to resolve this.
@cmconseils And it's shortest land border is with the UK (inside the tunnel, following the treaty of Canterbury https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_border?wprov=sfla1 )
@cmconseils Why do they have oversea territories at all?
@cmconseils Sure. But why do they still have colonies?
@CatoTheYoungest they are not called colonies anymore, but Overseas departments and regions of France. I guess they wanted to stay with France?
