    Straight Border Syndrome.

    The straighter a places borders are, the less likely it is that there’s anything there worth fighting over, and the more likely that the lines were drawn thousands of miles away by people who’d never even been there.

      That’s most of the US/Canada border. That little tick where Minnesota sticks up into Canada is because a treaty was made with a map that didn’t actually show the accurate geography there.
