An Island Split Between Two Countries

Saint Martin has been divided between France and the Netherlands since 1648, across about 87 square kilometres — the smallest inhabited island in the world shared by two sovereign states. The border is unmarked and uncontrolled.

The clock: both halves keep UTC−4, though the Dutch side uses the US dollar and the French side the euro.
