... and a tripoint if the Basque country ever becomes independent. It
is the Hiru Erregeen Mahaia (in French: Table des Trois Rois, in
Spanish: Mesa de los Tres Reyes; in English, the translation would
be "Table of the three Kings"). The Three kings are those of Navarre,
Aragon, and France, that had their ancient tripoint there. It is a
secondary tripoint (esfr2{aquitaine-aragon-nafarroa}; forgive me the
elaborate notation), a tertiary one (esfr3{huesca-nafarroa-
pyreneesatlantiques}, sorry for this one, too), and, if the Basques
were ever to become independent, and the province of Navarre were
included in their state (also a sore point, to be frank), it would
become the tripoint ehesfr (a provisional notation; eh stands for
Euskal Herria = Basque Country).
