The smallest state in the world.

The Vatican is not the smallest country in the world. If we were to consider the scope as the assessment measure, the smallest country in the world would be the military sovereign of Malta's Order because there is no territory except those of its buildings in Rome as well as some extraterritorial privileges.

The shortest border in the world.

The shortest border in the world is the one that separates Penon de Velez de la Gomera, Spain from Morocco. It's only 85 meters. Until 1934 it was an island, but a strong storm filled the sandy area dividing the ground by turning it into a peninsula.

Lake that does not belong to anyone.

Lake Kostanca does not officially belong to anyone. Positioned between Switzerland, Germany and Austria, indeed the boundaries of each country go to the shores of the lake and no division treaty has ever been established. The Swiss claim that the borders divide the lake into three parts, the Austrians consider it as a common part and the Germans have no official position.

The smallest and oldest co-ownership in the world.

The smaller and at the same time the oldest co-ownership is the island of Fazana, positioned in the mouth of the Bidasoa River, whose sovereignty is divided between Spain and France. It was settled in 1659 and at that moment the Pyrénées Treaty was signed that ended the Franco-Spanish War and established the borders between the two countries. There is a monument on the island reminding of the treaty, but no one is authorized to visit it. Moreover co-ownership is not simultaneous, but alternative. France owns 6 months and Spain for the next 6 months.

Country that has marinas, but not sea.

Despite Bolivia's no-cruise, a territory that has never stopped firing, there is a naval military force and every March 23 celebrates Sea Day with a military parade.

The largest city in the world.

The largest city in the world is not the city of Mexico but Hulunbuir positioned in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia. It has an area of ​​263,953 square kilometers, because the entire area is legally considered a city. It has a stretch of more than 42 US states.

The point of the earth closer to the sun.

Although Everest is considered to be the roof of the world, actually the Chimborazo volcano in the Ecuador is the point away from the center of the earth or the point of the planet closer to the sun. This phenomenon occurs because the earth's diameter at equatorial width is greater than that of Everest.

The largest artificial pond in the world.

The Superdeep Kola opened by the Soviets in the 70s and 80s is still today the deepest artificial pile in the world and reaches 12,262 meters of depth. However, this is not far-fetched, this record holds since 2011 Sakhalin on the Russian island of Sajalín with a length of 12,345 The difference is owed to the altitude above the island's largest sea level although it is not so as deep as Kola. Most spectacular is Mina Mir on the Russian locality of Mirny.
