“Although I think the Romania/Somalia answers are correct, I would also argue for England, Scotland, and Wales, as each of these is a 'country' inside of the 'country' of the United Kingdom, and since these are all on an island, they have no borders to share with the UK,” suggested another. “It took way longer than required,” posted a third.
