- The numer of land borders a country has does not necessarily equal the number of countries whose land borders it touches. In some instances, country borders are considered to be multiple separate sections, usually due to the presence of enclaves (a town/territory that is part of one country, but is located entirely in another country).
- For example, the Belgium/Netherlands border runs only 450 km (280 mi) long, but is considered to be made up of 31 different discrete sections/borders because it includes the town of Barle, which contains 30 distinct enclaves (Belgian territory in the Netherlands or Dutch territory on the Belgium side) and counter-enclaves, each of which is considered a distinct land border, in addition to the main Belgium/Netherlands border.
- The number of countries which border China can be said to be 14 or 16, depending upon whether Hong Kong and Macau are considered separate countries.
