Actually it's a river that flows from a spring into a sea.
The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

The Reprua River in Georgia, flows from the a spring in Krubera Cave (which is also the deepest known cave... in the world) into the Black Sea.
At only 27m long, it's the shortest river... in the world.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

If you include enclaves, exclaves and oblasts, how long is the the world’s shortest international border?
I checked... there are no proper quadripoints in the world (except for States & Provinces).The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

In 1940 the Canadian Government declared the maternity ward of Ottawa Hospital to be Dutch Territory temporarily so that the child that Queen Juliana, Princess Margriet, would legally be born in the Netherlands. The border would have been the perimeter of the ward say 40 metres.

That wasn't what I had in mind but it's so mind-numbingly brilliant that I think it deserves the next question and or a Skippy Badge.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
