That's interesting thanks.
I see we get mentioned as the ocean being our separation.
Tasmania as a State is also completely surrounded by ocean so not only are separated from our nation by sea but other nations.
It certainly presents problems and travel freight etc is very expensive.
Guess you'd put Hawaii in that league.

I'm a bit confused by the fence that is supposed to keep immigrants from traveling through Morocco and into Spain. I'm pretty sure the Straits of Gibraltar at the west end of the Mediterranean Sea is the border between those two countries and not that fence.

I was aware of these cities, however they are both "autonomous cities" and from what I understand, not part of Spain (despite being Spanish in origin). Perhaps I'm misunderstanding their political nature. Or perhaps the article on national boundaries was being more liberal with the application of the concept.

I believe all the regions of Spain have a degree of limited autonomy
