straight looking sections of borders are actually fairly common
everywhere
indeed they occur wherever a border runs directly between 2
markers
or in other words
just about everywhere there is a manmade rather than a natural
delineation
& that means the great majority of the individual delineations in
the world
it is just that a much larger scale map is needed to see most of
them
