I might have to turn my list of ten unusual borders to a list of eleven. Thanks to reader Steve who let me know about a strange border that I had neglected to include - the Baarle-Nassau collection of twenty Belgian enclaves in the Netherlands.

I also believe I saw something somewhere about a very interesting exclave/enclave situation in United Arab Emirates and Oman– something about an exclave within an exclave within an exclave within an exclave. I think. Very interesting– thank you!
Actually, Baarle-Hertog consists of 22 small Belgium enclaves in the Netherlands, and 7 Dutch enclaves within these Belgium enclaves.
