Nice one......, The World looks much more like Google Earth than the old style school globe doesn't it?

For practical purposes I reckon you are "in" when you are talking to that particular country's controllers, though does the fact that the Maastricht sectors cover a chunk of NW Europe mean Belgium no longer exists.

The only place I can think of where the Border between two countries really looks like a line on the map is the Indian-Pakistan border seen at night....hundreds and hundreds of kilometers of lights.
