Welcome, Brendan. As you are the master of enclave
information, I may just have to retire now. And when
you do start selling your thesis (Heck, I would buy
it), please let me be your US distributor or
something.
Seriously though, somebody did point to the fact that
embassies could be block-size enclaves. well, I don't
completely disagree with that. However, when I
generally mention enclaves (and the enclaves that
interest me) are ones which are integral part of a
country (which a random territory in far of land
definitely is not) and which shows up on a map. I
generally do not mention an exclave if I don't see it
in maps of the two countries involved. If it is an US
county enclave, however, USGS maps are enough for me.
And unfortunately the embassies are not shown as
enclaves on USGS maps. Secondly, I believe a
multinational treaty was signed on what exactly is the
rights of an embassy. I believe an embassy has
extraterritoriality, but the country which owns it
does not own sovereignty.
Lastly, I generally am more interested in phenomenon
the rarer it is. And as far as I know, there are more
than a few embassies in the world. So sue me if I am
a bandwagoner.
