Question 19: Excluding small, sovereign states (Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, etc.), which European country has an enclave that is entirely surrounded by one other country? And how did this situation come about?

(And yes, the Vatican City is recognized as the world's smallest nation.)

 

[Aristonico]

After the teasing of the Vatican City...

Only 1 case? I know 5 enclaves in european territory!!!. Choose which one you prefer:

-Baarle
-Büsingen
-Campione d'Italia
-Llivia
-Sankova Medvezhe
-Vennbahn

 

[Aristonico]

I didn't posted all the info because this is not supposed to be a reference page, but if you desire...

Have fun!

Hey now im hurt: in fact the smallest country in the world is not the vatican city.

There is an independent republic located on an oil rig of the East coast of Britain (if only I could remember its name - but I will find out)
Its run by one man and his wife and does most of its trade with the United kingdom

So there

You mean Sealand... I am sorry but it has not been recognized as independent country by anyone. The same happens with a place in Italy that have elected a king... In fact, the Holy See, or Vatican City, is the smallest independent and recognized as such country in the World with its 0,44 sq.km.

I know Baarle-Nassau. Dutch territory in Belgium. And Baarle-something else. Belgian territory in the Netherlands.

To the Q-19:..
It must be somewhere in the old Soviet... I was thinking that Lesotho is only (big)
country in the world which had entirely surrounded by 1 country... Geez. If u don't
mean some coastal nations (Portugal, Ireland)?

(PS: Vatican is the smallest nation in the world, with 420 sq. m.)
(PPS: Dis is my 100th reply! I am sooooo happy!!!)
