    In the Netherlands there is a similar situation. Baarle-Hertog (Belgium) is intertwined within Baarle-Nassau (Netherlands.)

    There the houses have Nationality flags by the house number to indicate which country they are in.

    There is an area of India/Pakistan that has been a border dispute for years, not sure how many.
