Territorial enclaves are distinct areas of land that are completely surrounded by the territory of another state or region. These enclaves can arise due to historical treaties, conflicts, or geographical features. They often have unique cultural or political identities, as they may belong to a different nation or administrative division than the surrounding area. One well-known example of a territorial enclave is Lesotho, which is an independent country entirely surrounded by South Africa. Enclaves can create complex situations regarding governance, trade, and travel, as residents may need to navigate the laws and regulations of both the enclave and the surrounding territory.
