I’ve always been amazed at how all the countries without exception click neatly into one another like a really clever puzzle. Someone must have spent time carefully cutting out the borders of each country to achieve a perfect interference fit.

Imagine if the countries didn’t fit together like there were vast stretches of land that no one controlled or areas with multiple countries because they were forced together like the wrong puzzle piece

There are also some long straight lines evidencing not every border is.
