Land-border list for the exact source country or territory record, at the stated dataset edition. Separate source identities are not combined. Use the exact source country and counterpart identities without metropole, calling-code, island, transport or boundary-segment inference. Land-border lists from the maintained mledoze/countries dataset at the stated repository edition. Its README defines the borders field as land borders, credits a borders contributor and Wikipedia for remaining data; this is not an official boundary survey. Exact country and territory identities remain separate. The source does not supply boundary segments, legal recognition findings or a per-country effective date. Retrieval is an observation date. This is a qualified source-edition enumeration, not a certification of complete physical borders in 2026. Contains information from mledoze/countries, made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. Source-derived border assertions use that licence. Independent country information and government border evidence remain separate.

Supported calculations run from 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z until 2031-01-01T00:00:00Z. Zone names identify IANA representative locations; they do not locate a telephone number. The browser detects your device’s configured zone, which may differ from your physical location. Time rules: IANA tzdb 2026e. Location labels use its retained country tables. Times use the selected IANA entry; they are not a claim about every location in the country. The initial selection is a starting point; it does not confirm the capital’s time, country-wide time, or your location.
