Asks France’s land neighbors: many answers will remain around France. Brazil seems to be an intruder. However, it shares a border with France in South America, in contact with Guyana.
France Diplomacy describes nearly 730 kilometers of common border and specific cross-border cooperation. The exchanges are therefore not reduced to a relationship between Paris and Braslialia: they also concern inhabitants and institutions on both sides of a neighbouring territory.
The surprise comes mostly from the card we use mentally. The territory of a state is not always a single block around its capital. Ultramarine spaces have their own geographical and human realities. Here, changing the scale does not reveal an anomaly: it simply corrects a representation that is too small to contain the entire country.
