<div id="ygrps-yiv-1261605232">I want to mention quite a few mostly separate things.<br/>
First of all, quite a few countries in the world<br/>
probably have all territorial waters belonging to a<br/>
central authority while the land belongs to a state. <br/>
If in any case, they have a line of possession of<br/>
islands, we should take them as some sort of boundary<br/>
line instead of completely ignoring them.  Hey, we<br/>
could get some extra tripoints that way.<br/>
In a related note, does anybody know if all German<br/>
territorial waters belong to the central government or<br/>
not.  And whatever the case, does anybody know the<br/>
boundaries between Niedersachsen and the Hamburg<br/>
islands of Scharhorn and Neuwerk.  Some maps show the<br/>
boundary on the coastline of Niedersachsen touching<br/>
Cuxhaven.  If that is so, would the piers belong to<br/>
Hamburg?<br/>
By the way, there are some other piers which is<br/>
crossed by a boundary line.  Many piers in Brooklyn<br/>
are crossed by the Manhattan boundary line and belongs<br/>
to Manhattan.  The heads of two Kuwaiti piers near Umm<br/>
Qasr belong to Iraq.  There might also be one in<br/>
Vermont, which I am trying to check. <br/>
Does anybody know where Friedrichstrasse station is<br/>
and whether it was an enclave as somebody in the<br/>
about.com board suggests.<br/>
I found a boundary length site<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/fields/land_boundaries.html">http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/fields/land_boundaries.html</a><br/>
which I found a few days ago, but was waiting for a<br/>
related e-mail to send.  Since there have been none, I<br/>
am just giving it right now.  It is only for land<br/>
boundaries though.<br/>
Check out the boundaries of the village of Causey in<br/>
New Mexico either in Tiger Maps or Topozone.  Some<br/>
towns follow a road for part, but not to the degree of<br/>
this town.  The county land surrounded by the village<br/>
has a larger area than the village itself.<br/>
Just as a sidenote nothing to do with boundaries,<br/>
check out the book &quot;A Place Called Peculiar&quot; about<br/>
naming of many odd-named American cities.  They do<br/>
mention a few places which were named because of its<br/>
position in a boundary area such as Texarkana and<br/>
Mexicali.<br/>
