How is the BEDE and BENL borders measured? Incuding the realway border (which should make it much longer) and Baarle?

Thanks Martin for this phantastic link,
what should we do without the CIA???
Here I was working, sweating and
swearing at my computer, and suddenly
theCIA comes up with the final result:
BUT: I noticed some differences regard-
ing length of boundaries etc. ....
so who's right: Biger or CIA?
Best regards
Peter H.

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] NZ EEZ etc
 
I'm afraid I have some bad news for Grant - according to official New
Zealand charts (NZ 223F and 224F) the mooted high seas enclave between
the EEZs generated by North Island and the Kermadek Islands doesn't
exist although, as you will see from the attached extract from 223F,
it's very close (I reckon the gap is about 2 nautical miles). The charts
do however, confirm the existence of a small high seas enclave between
South Island, the Bounty Islands and the Chatham Islands.

A couple of other completely unrelated comments. Firstly, to supplement
Peter's European boundary statistics you might like to visit
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/fields/land_boundaries.html
which contains a digest of all the information on international boundary
lengths from the CIA World Factbook.

Secondly, Dallen's pictures of the Sovereign Order of Malta reminded me
of a what is surely a unique territorial curiosity, namely the fact that
one of the doors to the SMOM complex contains a keyhole through which
you can see three sovereign political entities at once - SMOM itself,
Italy and the Holy See. Not quite a tripoint, but certainly a
collector's item!
