    For the people mentioning the Serbian-Croatian border dispute, while there are some areas that are claimed by neither nation, they are all still militarily occupied so effectively still controlled by either Serbia or Croatia.

      That border was drawn back in 1945 following the Danube river. The river changed it's course since then. Croatia claims the border from 1945 still stands, while Serbia claims that when Yugoslavia fell apart, the new border reflects the new flow of the Danube river. Serbian military controls all the claimed land however, so it's technically occupied.

      It wouldn't matter what the UN said of anybody had both the desire & ability to actually annex the place.
      The reason nobody has is that it is far from all the great powers that could try- they're all located well North of the Equator- and it's a nearly sterile hellhole few people would want to live in. If Antarctica shared a land border with inhabitable, better places it would've ended up like the Sahara or Siberia- minimally colonized and claimed rather than formally abandoned to a couple scientific outposts.

    Aren't there still a couple river borders with unclaimed land? A lot of countries use rivers as borders, but when they move due to erosion, one will inevitably claim the current river should be the border and the other will claim that it was the river when whatever treaty determining the border was signed. This leads to similar situations to Egypt/Sudan where both countries claim some land and neither claim other land.

    Technically, Bir Tawil isn't unclaimed, it's more that both sides say it belongs to the other side in return for another parcel of land, the Halayib triangle. Basically, Egypt says Bir Tawil is Sudan's, and Sudan says Bir Tawil is Egypt's. Same goes for the Serbian-Croatian border dispute.

    I like to imagine a distant future where the entire Earth is united, but the United Earth Republic still doesn't claim 100% of the land... because it still doesn't claim Bir Tawil. Why? Well, due to some weird clerical issue. When Egypt and Sudan were united into the UER, they were both admitted according to their actual controlled border. And since neither of them, nor any other country controlled Bir Tawil... it remains the only territory on Earth that is not part of Earth the country.

  • @Kaiser_Boog

    One must remember though that everyone agrees that it belongs to either Egypt or Sudan, they just don’t want to claim it at the moment. So internationally even if you claimed the land you would never get it because it’s either Egyptian or Sudanese.

    There is a similar place in what used to be Yugoslavia. Border was defined by a river, but the course of the river changed. One side wanted to keep the borders the same and one side wanted the border to change with the river. Neither side can claim a particular chunk of territory without capitulating their claim to a more valuable piece of territory. Some peeps decided to set up a libertarian/anarchist utopia, but both sides decided that even if they can't agree whose territory it is that it is one of theirs and not someone else's.
