Until 2015 the border between Bangladesh and India was so tangled that it contained the world's only third order enclave: a patch of India, inside Bangladesh, inside India, inside Bangladesh. More than 50,000 people lived in these pockets, many effectively stateless, until the two countries finally swapped them.
