Why? Who said signing a treaty makes a country happy?

As you say, there are no ESMO border agreements. And
that means theirs are de facto, rather than de jure,
borders ... or rather, de facto frontiers really
(rather than borders at all perhaps). And the neutral
zones or "no man's lands" between the ES and MO
positions reflect and preserve only an ongoing
military standoff, rather than any subsequent
diplomatic arrangements. But in the case of the ES and
GB neutral zone, diplomatic agreements have
perpetuated former military positions, while also
demilitarizing them. In every case, though, the
function of all such territorial offsets is basically
just safety and/or security, and the happiest borders
tend not to have them at all.

Make that 1783. (Evidently just a typo.)
Congratulations on your lucky 7th, and I hope you will
scratch our itch for some tripointing in San Marino if
not for bathing beauties in Monte!
Best, Jimmy
