Two layers of electrified, barbed wire, with armed guards to keep a colony secure. Colonialism has never actually ended

    Enclaves makes maps more fun. I especially love that city on the Dutch-Belgiam border where there are like 20 different tiny enclaves because back in the middle ages different feudal lords owned different fields.

      Yep, reminds me of how along the Mississippi River there are parts of states on the "wrong" side of the river because the river has changed course over the years, as rivers are know to do. There's even a town in Illinois (Kaskaskia) that's on the west bank of the Mississippi, so it's completely cut off from the rest of the state and can only be accessed via Missouri.

        Point roberts is my favourite US one, it's next to Vancouver and you have to go through Canada to get there. There's also "the north-west angle"

      I like how what could be sort of argued as the birthplace of modern Germany is now a little enclave of Russia completely separate from the rest of Russia.
