    Actually it's a river that flows from a spring into a sea.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    I love this story.

    I even went and found the gazetted proclamation.

    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.
