Carved out of New South Wales to house the new national capital and give it a few mountains for people to hike in, the Australian Capital Territory is for the most part rather pretty.
Photo: Alamy Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan: An exclave is a geographically-separated part of a territory, to which all possible routes by land and sea involve passing through other states.
Many are also enclaves, but the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is an exception as it borders both Armenia and Turkey. Photo: Alamy Alaska: Proper geography nerds would consider Alaska a 'pene-exclave' — it can be reached from the rest of the country without crossing another country's territory.

Photo: Alamy The Musandam Peninsula: The border between Oman and the UAE is a complete mess, largely due to both countries being patchworks put together from historic mini-fiefdoms. But the Musandam Peninsula in the far north of Oman is completely cut off from the rest of the country, and you have to go through the Emirates to get there.
Which, coincidentally, is the best way of seeing the fjord-like coastline that has made it a tourist hotspot.

The island of Cyprus is a very complex place politically and culturally.
It is divided like no other place of its size in the world for such a small place. The island is divided into three nations; Greece, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
Turkey controls the North of the island after Turkey invaded the island in The South of the island is controlled by Greece and primarily consists of Greek Cypriots. Finally, Akrotiri and Dhekelia are two areas of the island under the control of the United Kingdom. While these U. Depending on what section of the island they are from, Cypriots speak English, Greek, or Turkish, respectively.
Within Akrotiri and Dhekelia is yet another layer of exclaved depth. By far the most complicated on our list. Baaarle-Nassau is a town in southern Netherlands that borders with the Belgium town, Baarle-Hertog in an exceedingly interesting way.
All over the region, the two towns divide up the area into a multitude of minor territories that aren't even consistently connected!

The roads are lined with markers that determine when you are crossing from one country to the next. The last entry we are mentioning on our list of interesting enclaves and exclaves is Lesotho, otherwise known as the Kingdom of Lesotho , enclaved within South Africa. Lesotho holds a unique place on this list because it is a sovereign nation that is fully enclaved inside another nation, and therefore it is an enclave but not an exclave.
Two other nations only hold this status; the Vatican City and San Marino. The nation has an intriguing structure, with a unitary government structure with a parliament and a constitutional monarchy.
In this fashion, its political structure is similar to that of the United Kingdom. With a total area of 30, kilometres squared 11, square miles and a population of just over 2 million, it is no small nation like Vatican City or San Marino.
