basically feudalism taken to its most logical extreme
2 nobles claiming the same territory and eventually came to the logical conclusion: the stronger of the 2 got to keep the lands people lived on so he could demand taxes, the weaker got to keep the unused land

treaty remained in place due to the relative peace in the region for hundreds of years and got grandfathered into the later nationstates

So, you can just cross that line without a passport huh?

>>2507298
yeh, would have been silly not to

and besides you haven't needed a passport to travel between belgium and the netherlands for 6 decades now

heck there's a fun little law where people can sort of decide in which country they live given (due to how the borders routinely go through homes) the country you live in is decided by the location of your front door, and yes you can move your front door

Central Asia is an enormous exercise in JUST

>>2507298
No. Each line depicted on the map is part of a closely guarded border with electrical fences of five feet high. Every marker on the map (H1, N2 etc.) has its own manned gate where passports are being checked. Some of these border guards only have to check approximately five people on an average day. This has led to criticism that all these border controls are a major waste of finances. Yet proponents claim that traditions are worth paying for. The local council prefers the status quo as the bizarre situatiion attracts tourists and the border control is the concern of national government. This renders the strange scene of excessive passport control a net gain for the locals.

I love how your comment and the picture present a legitimate argument for the resident: the IMPORTANT part of the door (the knob) is in one country, while the MAJORITY of the actual door itself is in the other country. Your nationality is then totally up to you unless TPTB make you flip a coin or such

This shit.

In 1412 Poland gave Hungary a huge loan and those few towns and surrounding villages were collateral. The loan was never repaid and the exclaves stayed in Polish hands for over three centuries until the Commonwealth was partitioned and Habsburgs went all DON'T MIND IF I DO.

You can tell the level of autism involved in the map by whether this is included or not.
