Forgive my ignorance but I don't really understand why post colonial borders are an issue.
Yeah the Europeans divided the land poorly before they left, now there are different ethnic groups in every country (funny how that's an issue only if it happens outside the west.
But they aren't there anymore, what's stopping them from drawing better borders now, and more importantly how is this the Europeans' fault, that would have happen either way without them present, just like also happened literally everywhere else in the world.

Saint Martin isn't actually Dutch, hence the southern part isn't part of the European Union and doens't use the Euro.
Sint-Maarten, the Southern part of the Island, is an indepentent country within the Kingdom of The Netherlands.
So, The Netherlands and France don't share a border after all.

One island has been added to this list since the production of this video.
That would be Hans Island in the Nares Straight. Now Hans Island has a tiny land border between Canada and Greenland, which effectively is Denmark. So Denmark and Canada share a border.

Sint Maarten isn't part of the Netherlands, but of the Kingdom of Netherlands. That's why it's not in the EU. But I don't think there are any border crossings.
