India and Bangladesh has very interesting borders. A geopolitical curiosity is that there are 92 Bangladeshi exclaves, with a total area of 47.7 km² in Cooch-Behar. Similarly, there are 106 Indian exclaves inside Bangladesh, with a total area of 69.5 km². There is even a couple of enclaves of India which are inside an enclave of Bangladesh that is in India. There are a large number of instances where the border goes straight through a house. Similiar things occur in other parts of the world. Even the US State of Minnesota has a small part inside Canada on the northern west side of Lake Superior.
