<div id="ygrps-yiv-338882187">ahh<br/>
now i think i see what you really meant<br/>
<br/>
a single sector  straight line  boundary<br/>
with no deliberate deflections<br/>
<br/>
a much more special category than i realized in my double take<br/>
& its our first bp triple take<br/>
<br/>
so i withdraw all my suggestions except for iraq jordan<br/>
<br/>
& if western sahara is demoted to nonsovereign<br/>
  & considered only as a part of morocco<br/>
    as in the latest country census from grant<br/>
we could conceivably eliminate 2 of yours too<br/>
leaving a total of only 3 world class cases in all<br/>
<br/>
thus you appear to have found as small & special an elite<br/>
as our set of 2 or 3 world class boundary crosses<br/>

&gt;this question is more fascinating & playful than i first realized<br/>
&gt;& your list might be increased by the following<br/>
&gt;tho i am not sure about several of them<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;libya chad<br/>
&gt;libya niger<br/>
&gt;libya sudan<br/>
&gt;algeria niger<br/>
&gt;mauritania morocco or western sahara<br/>
&gt;togo upper volta<br/>
&gt;kenya somalia<br/>
&gt;kenya sudan<br/>
&gt;iraq jordan<br/>
&gt;iraq saudi<br/>
&gt;jordan saudi<br/>
&gt;oman saudi<br/>
&gt;oman yemen<br/>
&gt;saudi yemen<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;interesting that they are all pretty much in north africa & arabia<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;m<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;Which international boundaries are 100% fiat, meaning 100% straight?<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;On the map I see:<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;Morocco-Western Sahara<br/>
&gt;&gt;Algeria-Mauretania<br/>
&gt;&gt;Western Sahara-Algeria<br/>
&gt;&gt;Nigeria-Chad<br/>
&gt;&gt;<br/>
&gt;&gt;But perhaps there are minor irregularities I cannot see on my map, so who<br/>
&gt;&gt;can confirm this?<br/>
