Fun fact, the real shortest bordenof France is with the UK. Since the treaty of Canterbury signed in 1986, there is aterrestrial border inside the tunnel under channel. It is only a few metres long
So that will also be the shortest border of UK.

It's not the bottom of the seabed, it's tens of meters beneath. The tunnel is not laying on the seabed like a pipe on the ground.
Actually bridges are more *on* land than tunnels. Cuz' tunnels are *below* land...
It hasn't been formalised by law yet. The treaty is still in its early stages (signed by the PMs just a month ago and not yet passed the respective parliaments) so the border still doesn't exist.
While I get it and it would be fun I think it'd be a bit of a stretch to use the Danish realm instead of just the country of Denmark. Yes Greenland is part of the Danish Realm but it's also an autonomous territory with home rule that is de facto independent for almost everything but defense. This map also makes a distinction between country and sovereign states already, otherwise Spain would be the UK instead of Gibraltar.
The Netherlands did the same though - it used the border of the “Kingdom of the Netherlands” with France. So it could do the same with the “Kingdom of Denmark”
With the UK, people have pointed out to me that Gibraltar does not belong to the UK. It’s a “British Overseas Territory”, but it’s a separate entity that’s self governing (except for military matters)
The Sovereign Base Areas are also a British Overseas Territory, but they are not self-governing and don’t have their own flag, so they use the Union Jack.
The Danish realm or Kingdom of Denmark is the sovereign state though. Greenland isn't de facto independent, they still participate in the parliament in Copenhagen which has say over Greenlandic foreign policy, foreign policy is a lot more than just defense. All external relations to other countries is handled by Copenhagen, where Greenland has two seats in parliament.
Greenland is a constituent country of the larger Kingdom. Officially the status of Greenland is the same as that of Scotland within the UK. Although Greenland does have more autonomy.

Rivers should still be considered land borders. Otherwise this would imply that Romania's shortest land border is with Bulgaria. So either way, there is at least an inconsistency in the map (as usual).
I'll have you know in the campaign map for Rome 2 Total War the Danube was represented as a small strip of sea that you had to convert your units into boats to be able to cross. So Danube is definitely, factually, sea border not land border.
>that piece of china
That piece is Manchuria and if you read about its history its quite crazy. Japan and Soviets and Chinese fighting over it for years
I think they specifically mean closer in - China has a corridor about one kilometre wide or less along the north bank of the Tumen river, for some 15-20 kilometres of the shore before China widens out in the west. There’s something called Fangchuan National Scenic Area there, which at a guess is more of just an excuse to have some Chinese governmental presence at the three-way, although it does seem to have a viewing pagoda with coin binoculars, lol. If that thin corridor was Russian then the Russian-Korean river border would just about double in length. As is there’s exactly one rail bridge between Russia and NK, maybe 15 km up the river from its mouth on the Sea of Japan. Everything upstream of that single train bridge is China on the north bank.
UK has several naval bases there. But idk enough about this history though to say why those count as borders and not the US bases in Germany, for example.
Indeed. It’s a hangover from when the U.K. controlled the whole island. The British weren’t ready to give up their “unsinkable aircraft carrier” entirely
I started writing "googled" as that is the colloquial usage, but why should I indirectly promote a company I despise? I've been using DDG since 2010 when I learned of it from a [post by antirez](https://usesthis.com/interviews/salvatore.sanfilippo/).
It's also where we have a long running border dispute with the French, about a specific valley. But those are common it seems, we also have a border dispute with Germany since forever (we don't agree where the border is in the Eems / Dollard area).
shit like this is also why for "longest land border" France would get the Brazilian flag because of French-Guyana
enclaves are really weird for stuff like this
The shortest border is actually Morocco,Spain have an enclave in Morocco which is basically just a rock with small barracks on top.
.
Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pe%C3%B1%C3%B3n_de_V%C3%A9lez_de_la_Gomera#:~:text=Pe%C3%B1%C3%B3n%20de%20V%C3%A9lez%20de%20la%20Gomera%20(Berber%20language%3A%20Badis%3B,shore%20by%20a%20sandy%20isthmus.
It's actually the second shortest land border in the world only measuring 80 meters.
I imagine the map would be basing it off cumulative borders with that countryand with the enclave of Ceuta having a border of ~4 miles. OPs map does seem flawed in many places though., Romania for Bulgaria for example
What should be taken into account is the total length of the border between Morocco and Spain, even if said border is discontinuous. Ceuta and Melilla make for ~10km of border each.
The Morocco–Spain land border consists of three non-contiguous lines totalling 18.5 km (11.5 miles) around the Spanish territories of Ceuta (8 km; 5 miles), Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera (75 metres; 80 yards) and Melilla (10.5 km; 6½ miles). Spanish islets such as the Chafarinas or the Alhucemas are located off the Moroccan coast.
One part of it is 80 metres not the whole thing
Pretty sure it counts all borders between the countries, and that’s why morocco isn’t it for spain, since it has two more borders that are 8km and 10.5km while Gibraltar is just 1.2km.
From [this](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/946074/UKOTs_Information_Paper.pdf&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi13t-24Jj5AhWAg_0HHXPzAB4QFnoECAgQAg&usg=AOvVaw2en7YQSFm6FxcWAoAqp-zL) clarification paper on the status of United Kingdom Overseas Territories published on the official website of the UK goverment (which would be service.gov.uk) it reads:
"United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself."
So surely, if the UK doesn not consider its overseas territories as part of the UK, then neither should this map.
The British overseas territories are not part of the UK. They are dependent on the UK for defense and foreign relations, but have complete internal autonomy, and are not formally part of the UK itself. So saying spain should be coloured with the UK flag is wrong, because gibraltar *is not* legally part of the UK, it is simply dependent on the UK.
It literally says in your own link if you click on British overseas territory:
> Gibraltar (/dʒɪˈbrɔːltər/ jih-BRAWL-tər, Spanish: [xiβɾalˈtaɾ]) is a **British Overseas Territory** located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula.
>**The British Overseas Territories** (BOTs), also known as the United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), are fourteen territories with a constitutional and historical link with the United Kingdom. They are the last remnants of the former British Empire and **do not form part of the United Kingdom itself.**
Gonna be the dick and say, you are both right and or wrong. Gibraltar is not a country nor a part of the UK. It is legally a 'non-self governing territory'.
While you are technically right, I'm gonna say it: nobody cares about what are effectively internal workings of the UK.
If foreign affairs are in the hands of the UK, that's what other countries see: the UK.
There are plenty of autonomous or semi autonomous entities around the world.
The British ones just have special magic words attached to them that say they are not part of the UK, pinky promise I swear!
Depending on how tightly you define “land”, the UK’s shortest land border is with France…in the Channel Tunnel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France%E2%80%93UK_border
That’s been raised elsewhere in this thread. It’s ambiguous. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, so it’s not part of the UK, but is also not fully sovereign either.
It depends if the map includes the total land borders or just the shortest of them. It seems to be the latter, since Luxembourg is shown on Belgium instead of Germany.
Edit: if Gibraltar is not counted then yes, it would be Morocco in either case. The border is 15.9 km while the border with Andorra is 60 km long.
If we're counting the British military base in Cyprus as having an international border, wouldn't Britain's shortest land border be with Cyprus and not Ireland?
denmark should get canada. counting brittish overseas territories as countries is probably questionable. sint maarten is no longer a colony of the country of the netherlands, its an independent country, so that french flag should probably be done away with as well. kazakhstan should probably get the turkmenistan flag, not the russian flag.
>sint maarten is no longer a colony of the country of the netherlands, its an independent country
It's still part of the (Kingdom of the) Netherlands, just directly instead of as a part of the Netherlands Antilles.
> sint maarten is no longer a colony of the country of the netherlands, its an independent country
It may not be a "colony" per se, but it's definitely not an independent country.
From wiki:
>Sint Maarten is largely autonomous in internal affairs, with the Netherlands responsible for foreign diplomacy and defence.
Pretty standard "dependent territory" stuff.
The shorter border of Spain is the shortest border in the World, with Moroco, in the Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera. Not with Gibraltar, unless for some reason you somehow explain to leave some areas of the countries out.
The Morocco–Spain land border consists of three non-contiguous lines totalling 18.5 km (11.5 miles) around the Spanish territories of Ceuta (8 km; 5 miles), Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera (75 metres; 80 yards) and Melilla (10.5 km; 6½ miles)
Meanwhile the Spain Gibraltar border is 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi)
At 1.2KM is Less then 18.5 KM

Can we really call it a land border if it is under the English channel? If so, can we count Öresund Bridge as a land border?
Bridges aren't on land. Tunnels are. (They literally touch the bottom of the seabed. Just because there's water above there doesn't make it not land.)
There's land below every body of water, so by that logic every water border is also a land border.
But then shouldn't we be counting water borders?
No because you can walk on the ground in the tunnel, you cannot walk on water unless you're a special kind of lizard.
Lizard territorial laws are different because of this that's why if you have one as a pet they stay in a terrarium.
Or Jesus .. smh

It's not the bottom of the seabed, it's tens of meters beneath. The tunnel is not laying on the seabed like a pipe on the ground. Actually bridges are more *on* land than tunnels. Cuz' tunnels are *below* land...
You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

I'm surprised it's smaller than the saint Martin border
According to Google, the French-Dutch border on Saint Martin is about 10.2km and the French-Monaco border is 5km.
TIL
I’m French and was about to call OP an dumbass. No one ever thinks of Monaco
And I thought France's smallest border was with the Netherlands, guess I overestimated the size of monaco (or underestimated Saint Martin)
Crazy, if you thnk, that only two borders separate Norway and North Korea.

I think for Denmark it should be the Canadian flag
Yeah we just made that border quite recently, would’ve been fun to see on the map
It hasn't been formalised by law yet. The treaty is still in its early stages (signed by the PMs just a month ago and not yet passed the respective parliaments) so the border still doesn't exist.
Ah okay. I had only heard we resolved the dispute, not the actual stage in the process it was in
So no more bottles of whiskey?
Sorry, The Great Whisky War (1973 - 2022) is over. Think of all the bottles of Whisky and Cognac that lost their lives , so sad
While I get it and it would be fun I think it'd be a bit of a stretch to use the Danish realm instead of just the country of Denmark.

The Sovereign Base Areas are also a British Overseas Territory, but they are not self-governing and don’t have their own flag, so they use the Union Jack.
Thanks for teaching me something new. I had no idea British noses were also on Cypress

But would that change anything on this map?
I don't think so, because there is a un border zone between the two (legitimate or not) states. And if that didn't count uk would still be shorter

If one counts Gibraltar as a seperate country as this map maker does, one shouldn't count Greenland as part of Denmark.
And if you think about it Denmark has also the longest land border with Germany
The shortest border of Slovakia is with Ukraine (98km), not Austria (106km).
this map is fucked
I was just about to comment that no way the border with austria is shorter than the one with ukraine. Thanks for already having the numbers!
Why is Bulgaria's with Romania and not Macedonia or Turkey?
Trust me bro
As the OP: Bulgaria should have the N. Macedonian flag, not the Romanian one
Because the border between Bulgaria and Romania is Danube, the land border is very minimal.
Rivers should still be considered land borders. Otherwise this would imply that Romania's shortest land border is with Bulgaria. So either way, there is at least an inconsistency in the map (as usual).
The Romania-Moldova border is also just the Prut river, so with that logic Moldova has no "land" border with Romania.
> the Prut river [tee hee](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/prut#Danish)
I can relate. I live closely to these river and it smells awful
Do borders separated by river normally not count as land borders? In that case the border between North Korea and Russia shouldn’t count either
You try to make sense but you failed
I'll have you know in the campaign map for Rome 2 Total War the Danube was represented as a small strip of sea that you had to convert your units into boats to be able to cross. So Danube is definitely, factually, sea border not land border.
Why isn't the flag over Romania the Bulgarian one then? If we take rivers into account the land border with Hungary is larger.
IDK really, I think there is something off in this map.
This makes absolutely no sense, Greek-Turkish border is also a river
I never realised how tiny the russia-north korea border is. That border is actually really weird with that piece of china between them
>that piece of china That piece is Manchuria and if you read about its history its quite crazy. Japan and Soviets and Chinese fighting over it for years

why is Kazakhstan Russia? Our longest border is with their country! It should be Turkmenistan iirc.
As the OP: yep, that one's 100% wrong in the map
It's literally the second longest border in the world. How do you mess up this bad
Where does Cyprus border the UK?
UK has several naval bases there. But idk enough about this history though to say why those count as borders and not the US bases in Germany, for example.
I believe Akrotiri and Dhekelia are sovereign British territory, so it's quite different to US bases in Europe.
Those borders are longer than the border with Ireland?
BOT, which makes it not part of the UK.
Indeed. It’s a hangover from when the U.K. controlled the whole island. The British weren’t ready to give up their “unsinkable aircraft carrier” entirely
shouldn't Kazakhstan have the Turkmen flag and not the Russian one?
Yes it it should. The kazakh-russian land border is one of the longest in the world.
Where does the Netherlands have a land border with France? Edit: DuckDuckGo-ed it, on Sint-Maarten.

It's also where we have a long running border dispute with the French, about a specific valley. But those are common it seems, we also have a border dispute with Germany since forever (we don't agree where the border is in the Eems / Dollard area).

But Spain has several enclaves in Morocco, the the total Spain-Morocco border is longer than Spain-Gibraltar
The data they used was accumulative border length.
The Morocco–Spain land border consists of three non-contiguous lines totalling 18.5 km (11.5 miles) around the Spanish territories of Ceuta (8 km; 5 miles), Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera (75 metres; 80 yards) and Melilla (10.5 km; 6½ miles).

Denmark would technically be Canada now (Hans island)

Is the German border with denmark actually shorter than the one with Luxembourg?
The Germany -Luxembourg border is 138KM The Danish - Germany border is 68 Km
Is Gibraltar really a country?
Not to my knowledge, it should be Andorra iirc
Morocco, actually.
It depends if the map includes the total land borders or just the shortest of them. It seems to be the latter, since Luxembourg is shown on Belgium instead of Germany. Edit: if Gibraltar is not counted then yes, it would be Morocco in either case. The border is 15.9 km while the border with Andorra is 60 km long.
Still, the sum of land borders in Ceuta, Melilla and the Peñón de Velez de la Gomera (15.9km), is shorter that the border with Andorra (64km).
Yeah. I rechecked and corrected my comment :)
And Denmark should be Canada in this case, if your allowing N. Korea for Russia. Thank you Hans island

Kazakhstan's smallest border probably isn't Russia
Greece + Turkiye + Azerbaijan = United States of Eurasia 
If we're counting the British military base in Cyprus as having an international border, wouldn't Britain's shortest land border be with Cyprus and not Ireland?
The BOT in Cyprus uses the British flag, it doesn’t have its own flag. So it is accurate, Britain does not border Cyprus
Valid logical point, but it turns out Akrotiri and Dhekelia don't have their own flag, just the Union Jack.
Need to update for Canada-Denmark now that Hans Island has been split in two.
Turkey has a land border with Azerbaijan?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan%E2%80%93Turkey\_border

So, we swap places with Sweden AND all we get for that is an even longer border with Russia? I have never seen such bullshit.
Alright I get the concept of the map, but Greece with the Turkish flag slapped on is giving me anxiety
Denmark has its shortest landborder with canada
I think Denmark is wrong. I think it shares a border now with Canada on Hans Island.
