larger entities, but that most modern ones do.<br/>

I suppose that West Berlin was an enclave besieged.  It was clearly not<br/>
tolerated by the surrounding power, but it persisted as a result of a military<br/>
stand-off.  Its ability to persist depended entirely on its resupply via a<br/>
sovereign airspace corridor that the surrounding power dared not violate.  Some<br/>
might argue that the existence of that corridor made it less than completely<br/>
enclaved in all three dimensions.<br/>
