Border Gore Extravaganza

What is the craziest borders you have in your setting? How did it come about? Use as crazy an alternate history as you please.

One of the borders I have in a timeline would be a panhandle that is set 1 meter off the ground. If you try walking towards it you'll have your upper body illegally cross the border and will promptly be tasered by the border guards, returning you back over the border as your body hits the ground.

Due to timeline shenanigans the crawl space beneath a building belonged to one nation whilst the first floor belonged to another. The building was culturally important to one nation but the other nation wanted the burial site located underneath. The building is now gone and a poorly worded treaty maintains the border. The locals consider it sport to trick people into walking across the region.

Have Belgium ,Netherlands and France actually enforce their borders .

Shops ,roads ,houses ,farms......................................the list goes on and on .
 
HRE is always fun. In my Hussite TL (A different chalice), I had that kind of gore apply to bohemia and moravia, too. I suppose one can't do more than HRE...?
 
Is it even possible to plausibly beat the India-Bangladesh border? Especially with its alleged origin as a chess game between two precolonial rulers.

Yes. Because that's all gone. India and Bangladesh now have a completely straight and normal border... as of about 4 years ago, actually.
 
Which two colonial rulers?
Please tell ,i am very interested .

Allegedly it was the rulers of the states of Koch Bihar and Rangpur, or possibly instead the result of a poorly written treaty between the Mughals and Koch Bihar.

The border existed for about 300 years and survived colonisation and decolonisation and wars between India and Pakistan, so that's a pretty stable border for something which is an utter mess.

Well, my ideal European borders proposal was pretty wild... And of course, my actual ideal for the world would create the most bordergore-y situation that could ever exist, because its central notion is to turn all countries on Earth into non-contiguous "associations", and allowing every private land-owner to freely decide which country (if any!) they'd like to join...
