	I got a lot more bonus answers than real answers, but it was still fun. Didn't bother to try Germany/Czech Republic because I presumed something was changed at Versailles or something else. I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed that France Netherlands is a bonus answer, not many people would have known that one I think.

	I have no doubt that some of these are up for contention and that they may change in the future, as people comment, hopefully with new and better information. If enough people say so, I'll make France/Netherlands an actual answer, along with the UK/Spain. Thanks for the feedback.

	Darn. I completely ignored southeast Asia, assuming those countries weren't sovereign for that long of a time period.

	Are you not counting any of the border changes in Europe around World War II? Germany and the Czech Republic's borders changed in 1938 due to the Munich Agreement.

	While the borders did change, they were reverted back at the end of WWII, so it can be said that the change was part of the buildup of a war. I've decided not to take border changes during a war into account, as that would mean that anywhere that was invaded would lose the border, which would result in much newer borders.

	I don't agree with czech republic/germany either but for a different reason. You had to name country's whose borders didn't change, but czech republic and germany are both countrys that did not exist yet in 1266. You can't say the borders are the same when the countrys with which you have to identify the borders were not even there yet. The same goes for some of the south east asia countrys that were french colonies..

	Figures: I got Switzerland's border with Liechtenstein, but forgot its borders with Italy and Austria (figured there must've been changes in war.. but forgot Switzerland wouldn't have changed as they're neutral). P.S. Love the fact Kyrgyzstan is in the bonuses!
