What about that weird blue arc that borders Poland?

My actual favorite part is Greece-Yugo-maybeSwitzerland, because that state would definitely hold together

Spain gives Ceuta and Melilla to Morocco in exchange for Morocco giving up claims below the Draa, Britain gives Gibraltar to Spain in exchange for one of the Canaries that are full of Brit tourists, everybody's happyunhappy anyway because lol geopolitics.

One wonders indeed if Ceuta and Melilla would exist as enclaves if it were not for Gibraltar being the UK's.

That's the Isla del Perejil, an unihabitated rock in the sea that's claimed by both Morocco and Spain. Maybe you remember it being in the news in 2002 when it was shortly occupied by Moroccan armed forces who were in turn taken prisoner when a group of Spanish elite soldiers landed there.

Britain has controlled Gibraltar for three centuries.

They wont’t give it up without a fight.

Spain’s claims on Melilla and Ceuta are older still.

I can't talk for other people, but I am spanish and I don't give a rat rear end about these territories. Gibraltar included.

Places like these probably are just hives of exceptions that help corruption and dirty bussines more than anything.

Well Thatcher was considering to hand back the Falklands 2 years before the invasion. If the people of Gibraltar want independence or to join Spain they can. Although neither of those things will ever happen because the status quo is a much more attractive (and popular) prospect.
