I've been in Märket, my phone didn't have any idea if I was in Sweden or Finland :D

[jakobrosenqvist]

I've been to märket several times, there are white dots painted on the rock so signify the location of the border, it's hilarious, especially since Finland and Sweden has open borders with eachother and that citizens of both countries are free to travel betwean the countries.

When the lighthouse had a keeper, his house was in Sweden and his outhouse was in Finland. So he had to cross the border every time he needed to go to the bathroom.

UK: That is my territory. Time to divide some native lands.

"...which placed *the stupid lighthouse* on the Finnish side"
I laughed so hard

[Theowest]

you make the sweden & finland part sounds pretty hostile but I can assure you our countries are very friendly to each other compared to pretty much any other border dispute.
