@kevanhubbard9673 I have wished that that were such a common belief, that it would be official that underwater tunnels through the bedrock count as land and that England for example has no longer been an island. Because making England a part of the continent by boring a tunnel was far easier, faster and more affordable than building a land embankment bridge. Although a land embankment bridge would be nicer, because it's actual land above the water and out in the environment. But I would be completely dissatisfied with the idea that an over-water bridge would be an official land connection. Or a floating bridge, a floating tunnel, an underwater tunnel (elevated like an underwater bridge), or even a submerged tunnel. The narrowest land link that I would be satisfied with would be like a concrete dam. Vladimir Putin proposed a dam be built from Russia to Alaska. Not only for a rail link for cargo, but for Russia, mainly to pump warm water from the Pacific Ocean, into the Arctic Ocean, throughout the winters. To keep the surface of the Arctic Ocean from freezing up, while Russia drills for oil in the seabed throughout the years. Which is why Russia wants to claim all of the Arctic. Which is why Russia used a submersible to set up a 3 ft tall, titanium Russian flag on the seabed, at the North Pole.

4:53- The Principality of Andorra has the distinction of being the only nation whose official language is Catalan - the language of the much larger eastern autonomous Spanish region of Catalonia [with Barcelona as that region's capital city]. While some consider Catalan to be a Spanish dialect, it is in fact linguistically closer to France's Provencal language than Castilian Spanish! Also, Andorra is the largest independent nation that has no airport. It is technically a CO-Principality with its two ruling princes being the Bishop of the [ northern Catalonian town of] Urgel and the President of France[ the latter ruler having 'inherited' it thanks to a series of dynastic marriages/changes of forms of government which transferred the title from the small now extinct County of Foix in the French Pyrenees].
The northwest border of Victoria with South Australia is a bit weird too. I believe it was the result of a historical surveying error, which Victoria subsequently refused to relinquish. For a very short stretch, is also the only spot where the Murray River sits in Victoria.
Not according to Geoscience Australia, the statutory agency responsible for geography measurement. It lists the shortest state/territory border as the 21km one between NSW and Jervis Bay Territory. Tasmania is not given any land border.
"The UK technically does have other borders..." - no, it really doesn't. Akrotiri and Dhekelia are overseas territories - they are not part of the UK, so the UK does not border Cyprus (for the same reason, it doesn't border Spain either). If you're going to use the word "technically", you really should be technically correct.

French overseas departments have a constitutional status that makes them an integral part of France, including sending representatives to the French parliament.

It's a fairly recent thing. For a long time both countries claimed Hans Island, so it was disputed territory. But on June 14 2022 they finally worked out a deal to agree on the border shown in the video.
It's relatively new. It used to be a dispute called the Whiskey War. They'd previously agreed to put the border down the middle of the sea channel, but that left the island as a gap. After Russia invaded Ukraine, the Canadian and Danish Governments wanted to make a point about how to deal with border disputes peacefully, so they made a deal to formally split the island.

For a strange border, the one between Spain and France on Pheasant Island. Pheasant Island (in Basque: Faisaien uhartea or Konpantzia; in French: Île des Faisans, Île de l’Hôpital or Île de la Conférence) is a river island located near the mouth of the Bidasoa River, whose jurisdiction is amicably shared between Spain and France. Both countries agreed to take care of it for six months each year, with one commemorative day belonging to both. It is the smallest condominium territory in the world.
You should have mentioned how the border between France and Spain shifts slightly every 6 months, because there is an island in a river which they take turns owning.
