Writing that N-S Korean border is the least busiest, I would like to know if there are any border that has no crossings. I earlier thought Afghanistan and China had no crossings because of the terrain and China's late discovery of that border, but somewhere in BP it was proven wrong.

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 ?)
