 </span></blockquote>yea, but to know by how much they expand and where to set the <br/>
borders, you would have to know where the space ends, and it doesn&#39;t.<br/>
And if the height of the sovereignty is unlimited then all of the <br/>
planets in the universe also fall in to some country, and into <br/>
different countries at different times. <br/>
But to me it would make a lot of sense if the sovereignty ended where <br/>
the domain of our planet ends - the outer limit of the atmosphere, <br/>
tho I don&#39;t think that is set anywhere legaly. But isn&#39;t there some <br/>
UN resolution about usage of outer space and other palnets or <br/>
something?<br/>
<br/>
Also keep in mind that since air space and ground depths are federal, <br/>
administrational divisions don&#39;t really exist. Because they can&#39;t <br/>
because they are two dimensional in three dimensional space. Or maybe <br/>
you could say that the top layer of molecules on the ground belongs <br/>
to the state, district or whatever, everything else is federal. <br/>
