<div id="ygrps-yiv-1848811105">according to the cia & prevailing perception<br/>
the winner of the grandest asterisk we have to give is kazakhstan russia at <br/>
arguably 6846 km<br/>
since caus tho arguably 8893 km in its entirety breaks down into 2 separate <br/>
borders<br/>
namely scaus with arguably but not quite availingly 6416 of these<br/>
& ncaus with unarguably but inconsequentially the rest<br/>
<br/>
caus retains its distinction however as the longest haha undefended hahaha <br/>
border in the world<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
according to the mandelbrot perception however<br/>
the worlds longest border jury is still out<br/>
<br/>
the leading candidate may be chad libya at 1055 km<br/>
all confirmed all geodetic<br/>
<br/>
but there are 2 stubborn challengers here for longest nonasterisked winner<br/>
<br/>
first<br/>
egypt sudan at about 1273 km<br/>
& no matter whether the true border or the administrative one is meant since <br/>
it wouldnt differ much anyway<br/>
<br/>
but the tiny wadi halfa salient on the nile has so far eluded final <br/>
determination<br/>
of whether it is completely geodetic or not<br/>
& even the cia isnt so sure about this otherwise insignificant detail<br/>
hahahaha<br/>
<br/>
& finally<br/>
mauritania western sahara weighing in at 1561 km<br/>
also eludes final determination of its complete geodeticity<br/>
tho in this case only because the ibs issue covering it isnt available <br/>
online due to a bum url at fsu<br/>
<br/>
so can anyone illuminate either or yikes both of these last 2 blind spots so <br/>
as to finally settle the question<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
an also entertaining tho irrelevant discovery<br/>
which struck me at first as a sort of mad magazine parody of the cia <br/>
factbook itself<br/>
& all the individual cia country profiles that basically comprise it<br/>
