<div id="ygrps-yiv-363894273">Yep, embassies are not saovereign enclaves, but just extraterritorial <br/>
pieces, and as they can move by the embassy buying or selling land, they are <br/>
much less significant than real territorial borders.<br/>
In the recent Peru-Ecuador boudary treaty, Ecuador was given a 1sq km <br/>
cemetery inside Peru, but only in real estate terms, not in sovereign terms. <br/>
This was where many Ecuadorian soldiers were buried after their frequent <br/>
border wars in the area.<br/>

&gt;Welcome, Brendan.  As you are the master of enclave<br/>
&gt;information, I may just have to retire now.  And when<br/>
&gt;you do start selling your thesis (Heck, I would buy<br/>
&gt;it), please let me be your US distributor or<br/>
&gt;something.<br/>
&gt;Seriously though, somebody did point to the fact that<br/>
&gt;embassies could be block-size enclaves.  well, I don&#39;t<br/>
&gt;completely disagree with that.  However, when I<br/>
&gt;generally mention enclaves (and the enclaves that<br/>
&gt;interest me) are ones which are integral part of a<br/>
&gt;country (which a random territory in far of land<br/>
&gt;definitely is not) and which shows up on a map.  I<br/>
&gt;generally do not mention an exclave if I don&#39;t see it<br/>
&gt;in maps of the two countries involved.  If it is an US<br/>
&gt;county enclave, however, USGS maps are enough for me.<br/>
&gt;And unfortunately the embassies are not shown as<br/>
&gt;enclaves on USGS maps.  Secondly, I believe a<br/>
&gt;multinational treaty was signed on what exactly is the<br/>
&gt;rights of an embassy.  I believe an embassy has<br/>
&gt;extraterritoriality, but the country which owns it<br/>
&gt;does not own sovereignty.<br/>
&gt;Lastly, I generally am more interested in phenomenon<br/>
&gt;the rarer it is.  And as far as I know, there are more<br/>
&gt;than a few embassies in the world.  So sue me if I am<br/>
&gt;a bandwagoner.<br/>
