Tnx Jesper.
 
In newer editions China should have one border less (Hong Kong).
 
So now we have:
number of b. (319)
highest number of b. per continent (Africa=109)
number of coastal b. (appr. 420 - 140 recognized)
highest number of borders compered to size of the countries per continent (Europe)
most frequently crossed b. (Mexico - USA)
country with most b. (China = 16 should be 15?)
country with most coastal b. (Indonesia = 19)
longest coastal b. (Greenland - Canada)
longest unbroken b. (Canada - USA)
longest unbroken land b. (Chile - Argentina)
shortest b. (Gibraltar - Spain)
 
There appear to be more b.-records than I thought of, but they dont't have the
less frequently crossed b. (Korea's ?)
highest total length of b. (China ?)
