The American mind cannot even comprehend a border between 3 countries being so open.
Hey we've got Four Corners!
Isn't that between 4 states though? Rather than 4 countries lol still super cool though
Don't worry I'm sure they'll come up with tight immigration between states eventually
Yeah, but relatively large states with a combined population of nearly 20m.
Which is on an indian reservation, and requires an entrance fee to go look at it.
There are 48 in Europe of those tripoints, seven of them with Germany.
three nations did not want to lose their soverign rights to equal thirds of this small lake. what is in the lake.
Water, probably.
I'd say maybe some kind of life forms too
They should put some strange women distributing swords, as a basis for their system of government.
The lake is actually ~99% on Norwegian territory, it's just a tiny edge on the end that's given to Sweden and Finland. We once tried to give Finland a mountain peak though (for their 100th anniversary of independence from Russia), but the constitution states the kingdom is indivisible so the legal work was deemed too much. It would have been their highest peak if it went through.
Nothing is out there! All there is is a lake and birds and fish. ... And a wooden walkway. ... And a big ass cement block. But there's nothing else there. It's a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe!
Just made for a good border-point, really.
This is all imagined though as I refuse to recognize the sovereignty of Finland and Norway - long live the Great Swedish Empire
Stop censoring screenshots.
This is what is possible when humans put aside our differences and work together!
If you slip, fall and hit your head and loose conciousness during that, in a way such that you are lying exactly on the border between two or three nations, to which hospital will you be brought? And how are insurances going to deal with this?
Seems like a non-issue to me. You'll go to whichever hospital is closest. If you're resident in one of the countries you'll be in EU/EEA and get the usual healthcare for residents of whichever country the hospital is in, if you're non-EU it'll depend on what travel insurance you have.
No worries, any of these three countries will take you without quibbling over who pays what.
Isn't it supposed to be a pile of rocks there? (Treriksröset) Or is it this block that is that's named Treriksröset? But a "röse" is supposed to be a like of rocks?
From which side can you access it? Which nation owns the corner?
exact point is probably empty. so much of matter is just empty space.
