+Geofellas Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 OK - I understand that proposals are not being looked at right now but there is encouragement to float ideas so here goes. I would like to create a category, or possibly multiple categories, related to geopolitical boundary oddities. I would be interested to hear what people feel about whether this should be one or multiple categories. The kinds of geopolitical border oddities I have in mind include: Tripoints- places where 3 (or more) countries/states/provinces etc. meet Enclaves/Exclaves- territories on one country that are surrounded by another country, e.g. Llívia- Spanish territory surronded by France Condominiums- territories administered by more than one sovereign nation, e.g. the small German/Luxembourg condomimum near the German/Luxembourg/France tripoint at Schengen Historical territories where border markers still exist - e.g. Neutral Moresnet Extreme borders - e.g. most northerly, westerly, southerly, easterly points on a national/state/provincial etc. border Anyone think this is an interesting category or categories worth including?
+Happy Landins Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Sounds fascinating - a niche interest probably, so it may not get many votes, but I think it is a great idea!
+The Forester Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I vote yes, but please make it a set of categories rather than a single one.
+monkeypa Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 I wasn't even aware such oddities exist---interesting! I like the idea, but think it's best kept as one category. (Unless these oddities are prevalent.)

+Geofellas Posted September 7, 2005 Author Posted September 7, 2005 Thanks for the feedback. Glad it was all positive There is a small but dedicated bunch of enthusiasts for this kind of thing - it would be good to get them into geocaching since they sound like they have the right mindset Some of them hang out at the YahooGroups BoundaryPoint mailing list
+spud67 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Another yes vote from me. Sounds like a great idea and there would be some close by here for me to visit and log.
