rumors yes
but we havent yet received any report of a confirmed sighting of
any extant international border change defined by elevation
anywhere along the z axis
anywhere in the world
tho some historical examples have been claimed or wished for
the closest thing to a real case
if not in fact the only real case yet observed
may be the private international bridge recently reported here
belonging to that russian meat factory
supposedly straddling ruua
but we need more info in that case
so i wish gbbe or someone will bring this back to us alive also
like
is the bridge truly private & sealed off
as i merely assumed
or is there a border control on that crossing
just for starters
or
is the factory itself really in 2 countries as reported
or is it rather only a peneclave but for this bridge
for in the latter case
& assuming the road center really is the boundary line
which of course we cant yet safely assume either
but no matter
we can still guess
then a vertical differentiation of sovereign territory would indeed
appear to have been the intention in this case
if not yet the legally established reality
but other than that single hope
i rather doubt vertical borders or any kind of vertical differentiation
of sovereignty can be pointed to as a present reality anywhere in
the world today
