This is really hard to say, but I actually
underestimated Gideon. Gideon in his book actually
mentions there is an enclave within Madha named Nahwa
and I did not notice it earlier. Very few places seem
to notice the existence of such an enclave.
Part of the reason is that I didn't read about the
enclave at any place besides Gideon until summer and I
caught a few mistakes and a few ommissions, so I
actually thought it was a mistake earlier. When I
looked at it today, I noticed it again and as Brendan
mentioned it too, it doesn't seem like a mistake now.
By the way, the smallest boundary between sizable
countries I found in the book was Turkey-Azerbijan
besides the complicated Zambia-Botswana area.
When I was a student at Cornell, I actually find a
series printed on boundaries, a booklet for individual
boundaries. It doesn't have all boundaries but a
sizable ones and in many cases, it gives the position
of individual boundary markers. What I seemed to
remember is that it was called "International Boundary
Studies". Does anybody out there know what the
correct title is as I want to look for it in the
libraries near me.
