&gt;First of all, the nearest place where I have seen the<br/>
&gt;Gideon book is a library four blocks away. <br/>

&gt;The smallest individual border is hard to figure, but<br/>
&gt;I would guess it is the Penon de Velez de Gomera and<br/>
&gt;Morocco border.  The smallest total border is either<br/>
&gt;in the Southern Africa quadripoint area or<br/>
&gt;Gibraltar-Spain, now that Macau is part of China.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>this is fantastic<br/>
<br/>
how long do you think penon & gibraltar are<br/>
<br/>
i would like to make a short list of the worlds shortest known<br/>
international boundaries<br/>
of both the individual & total types you have distinguished<br/>
with actual measurements<br/>
since i think that may ultimately be necessary to be sure of some of the<br/>
winners<br/>
<br/>
for the mythic botswana zambia boundary for example brownlie gives 5 basic<br/>
theses & several combinations of these as well<br/>
but the bottom line is<br/>
it could run anywhere from perhaps a kilometer down to the infinitesimal<br/>
<br/>
maybe the italy & knights of malta boundary could weigh into the total<br/>
class too at perhaps a few hundred meters<br/>
tho it might have to bear an asterisk for its obscurity<br/>
<br/>
a serious candidate in the individual category<br/>
the smallest second order enclave on the military map of baarle appears to<br/>
have a perimeter of about 210 meters<br/>
