    The “nearly” is the interesting part. Is there a dispute over border lines? Is there a conflict zone in between? Why is it nearly and not exactly, i must know.

        In that case, we’d also have to count Hawaii and Florida and such…

          The word “border” in the example implies “border with another country”.

        While it’s both (and more), I’d say it’s more eastern than southern.

      The nearly part is just there for the joke. Most of the time people are comparing two different things which are nearly the same, so it’s supposed to be funny when the two things named turn out to be the same thing.

      I have a conspiracy theory that they are connected, and all the mapmakers are conspiring to make maps with only the US on them. I’m even willing to go so far as to say that Alaska and Hawaii aren’t just off the coast.
