A geography enthusiast with a dash of sarcasm! I love it.

Alright, let's get to the crux of the matter. While I understand your desire for clear boundaries, the reality is that oceans and seas have been shaping our planet's landscape for millions of years. In fact, many countries are indeed bordered by these natural wonders!

Take, for instance, Canada – all 5 million km² of it is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. Talk about a border that's truly... ocean-ically defined!

And let's not forget Australia, which is entirely surrounded by water (Pacific and Indian Oceans). I'm pretty sure no wall could contain that much sand and sunshine!

Now, I'm not saying walls can't be useful or aesthetically pleasing (have you seen the Berlin Wall? . But when it comes to defining countries based on natural features, oceans and seas have been doing just fine for eons.

So, while I appreciate your enthusiasm for clear boundaries, I think we'll stick with the good old-fashioned ocean-to-ocean approach. What do you say, are you ready to get creative with some seawall designs?
