    Croatia's southernmost region is also an exclave, since Bosnia has a tinybit of seashore over there. To bypass this, the Croats recently built a massive bridge. Also when it comes to exclaves, India and Bangladesh literally had hundreds of those between each other. It took them 40 years but they menaged to settle the issue and exchanged most of them - simplifying their border.

    Uzbekistan needs talked about 5x more. A country with impressive agricultural power (Top 10 world producer of cotton), but only because the Soviets completely wrecked the natural environment to make it such. If Kyrgyzstan (or perhaps Tajikistan) ever tries to dam the rivers for energy, etc., war would be almost instantaneous since the Uzbeks' are vitally dependent on it for their economy. Central Asia is a mess second only to the Balkans and perhaps the Caucuses region.

    Technically it doesn't really matter. It is not a mistake, because there are in this case Dutch exclaves too. Yes the majority of the exclaves is Belgian, but inside these exclaves there are Dutch exclaves aswell. There is also an exclave which is within the municipality of Baarle-Nassau but is South of the main Dutch-Belgian border. So technically this section of border mess can represented by a Dutch flag, although an Belgian flag or even both flags would have fitted better.

    There is a really small enclave belonging to Turkey: the Tomb of Suleiman Shah, inside Syria. Suleiman Shah, or Suleiman ibn Kutalmish (Kutalmışoğlu Süleyman Şah in Turkish) was the founder of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, which ruled Anatolia between the Battle of Manzikert and the Mongol Invasion. So, Suleiman ibn Kutalmish can be seen as the founder of Turkey (not the republic) and his tomb is a part of Turkey. During the ISIS incursion in Syria, the government moved his remains to another place in Syria closer to the Turkish border to protect it from ISIS (they were destroying tombs because it's "paganism") which Turkish opposition got really angry at, because the government literally left Turkish land to terrorists.

    Another interesting Russian exclave: Sankovo-Medvezhye, inside southeastern Belarus by Gomel. It is a part of Bryansk Oblast, has an area of 4.5 squared kilometers, and is only 3 miles away from the Russian border. Settlers from the area left for Pennsylvania to work as miners at the beginning of the 20th century. They returned before WWI began, and new farmers bought holdings. During administrative reform in 1926, it was decided that the border between the Russian and Byelorussian SSRs would move east, but the villages Sankovo and Medvezhye would remain Russian (hence the name of this exclave). During Operation Barbarossa, Germans burned both villages, but they were settled yet again. However, due to the Chernobyl disaster, the area became abandoned and dangerous, both for radiation and because of thieves and poachers since neither the Russian police nor Belarusian police have jurisdiction.

But I never heard of Assyrians leaving there. In 16 th century Armenians were only 7 percent of Nakhichevan-city population. But in 19 th century Armenians moved there from Iran and formed a half of town's population. Then Armenian population began to decline cause Armenians moved to Tiflis, Baku and Rostov seeking a better life. So, in 1920 Armenians formed not more than 20 percent of region's population. Azeries even formed an Araks Turkic republic which was dissolved by British. So it was not only the will of Russia and Turkey, but also a struggle of local Azeries for unification with Azerbaijan that made the situation as it is.

    10:15 "... the Bering land bridge, that I think today no longer exists." Nice one, hahaha. You can be 100% sure that it doesn't exist anymore, because it existed only in the ice age 20,000 years ago or so, because the ocean sea level was many many meters lower than it presently is. It was kinda cold there, but the siberian natives of those days somehow managed to move east and discover Alaska and therefore also the American continent. Theres another exclave inside of Switzerland, it's the German town of Büsingen between Schaffhausen and Lake Constance. And now I have a special goodie for you: the Austrian town or village of Jungholz. It's completely surrounded by Germany, but I guess it isn't an exclave of Austria, because the borders of Germany and Austria there are shaped like a cross; Austria being on lower right, Germany being lower left and upper right, Jungholz being upper left. Because it's in the Alps mountains, this border cross is on a mountain, and people from Austria have to go or drive through Germany to get to Austrian Jungholz. So, is it an exclave?

    Another not very well known exclave border situation exists between Belgium and Germany. Belgium owns the land that follows the ´Vennbahn´ which used to be a railway. This territory is technically connected to Belgium and may look silly, but isn´t an exclave on a technicality. However due to the existence of the Vennbahn and this being a Belgian Landbridge the german territory of Ruitzhof as well as parts to the west/southwest of Monschau and Roetgen actually technically did become german exclaves surrounded by Belgian territory. And to top it off, there is another territory in that same area that has fully remained german within the full borders of Belgium and it's that part of Belgium that's German speaking. TLDR: Look up the Belgian/German border running from Aachen to Monschau and you'll find something interesting.

    A fascinating Argentine exclave: Martín García Island located in the Río de la Plata. Because of its strategic location, the Argentine military built a fort there in the 1820s to deny the Brazilian navy access to the Uruguay River, which they were successful at doing so in the Battle of Juncal during the Cisplatine War. In 1973, Uruguay and Argentina made an agreement that Martín García Island was Argentine territory surrounded by Uruguayan waters. They also agreed that Martín García Island would be a nature preserve. But the most interesting part is at the time, there was an island next door that was recognized as Uruguayan called Timoteo Domínguez Island. However, it was evident that the channel that separated the two was filled with river sediments. Thus, the agreement said that if the islands were to unite, the sides would remain Uruguayan and Argentine. Another American one to mention is the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, which is de facto an exclave. While de jure Cuban, it has been permanently leased to the United States since 1903 as a coaling station and naval base, making it the oldest overseas US naval base in the world. The US will only end the lease when they abandon the area or both countries agree to end it, a decision we hope they do in support of our Cuban brothers.

    The United States has a few other fun semi-exclaves. All four of these are on the mainland of North America, but not accessible overland from the rest of the US. Point Roberts, in Washington, is a peninsula that just barely crosses below the Canadian border at 49th parallel. Elm Point, in the Lake of the Woods, in Minnesota, does the same thing. Elm Point is uninhabited, but Angle Inlet, also in the Lake of the Woods, has a very small population (around 50 or so). Lastly, Alburgh, in Vermont, isn't really an exclave, since it's surrounded by the US on 3 sides. But those sides are all the water of Lake Champlain. The only land connection is through Canada to the north.

    Walvis Bay in Namibia has an interesting history as an exclave of South Africa. Even before the German Empire colonised Southwest Africa, Britain annexed this natural harbour to its southern Cape Colony. German Southwest Africa (SWA) thus incorporated all of today's Namibia except for the port. With the formation of the Union of South Africa, Cape Colony became a constituent province, and Walvis Bay became an exclave thereof. After World War I SWA became a League of Nations mandate of the Union of South Africa and, although legally part of South Africa, Walvis Bay was administered as part of the mandate territory. In turn having become a republic, South Africa's racial policy caused the United Nations to repeal its trusteeship over the territory now named Namibia. South Africa resumed control of Walvis Bay as an exclave, a move declared void by the UN. Finally, this to-and-fro ended with Namibian independence in 1990 and Walvis Bay being relinquished to the new state.

    If you consider Indian reservations in the US to be separate countries (which for the most part the US government does), then there's a stretch of highway in Arizona where there's an Indian enclave within a separate Indian enclave within the state of Arizona. And during daylight savings time, since Arizona and the innermost Indian enclave don't recognize daylight savings but the outer Indian enclave does, you theoretically have to change your clocks 6 times when driving from New Mexico to California on this highway.
