 this is the list of countries that border only one other country, with only land borders being counted. some of these countries have several neighbours "across the sea". as an example denmark "borders" sweden and norway by sea, and canada has sea boundaries with denmark (between baffin island and greenland) and france (between the island of newfoundland and the territory of st. pierre and miquelon). other countries may border only one other country by sea, such as sri lanka. territory leased or ceded by one country to another for perpetual use, but not in sovereignty, such as guantanamo bay naval base in cuba, or memorials, such as the american cemetery in france, do not constitute true territorial borders, because the land occupied remains a formal part of the host country. ==countries bordering only one other country== {| class="wikitable sortable" ! width="17%"|country ! width="17%" class="unsortable"|neighbour ! width="8%"|border length (km) ! width="58%" class="unsortable"|notes |- |  |  | 381 | borders the malaysian state of sarawak on the island of borneo. |- |  |  | 8,893 | the border around the area of hans island between canada and greenland (a constituent country of the kingdom of denmark) is disputed and undefined. canada also shares a small maritime border with the french overseas collectivity of saint pierre and miquelon. |- |  |  (uk) | | the island of cyprus is de jure divided between the republic of cyprus and the british overseas territory of akrotiri and dhekelia. de facto, however, the northern third of the island is controlled by the turkish republic of northern cyprus, separated from the republic of cyprus by a united nations buffer zone. |- |  |  | 68 | denmark is connected to sweden via the Ãresund bridge. |- |  |  | 360 | on the island of hispaniola. |- |  |  | 740 |the republic of the gambia is bordered north, south and east by senegal. |- |  |  | 360 | on the island of hispaniola. |- |  |  | 360 | the republic of ireland borders northern ireland, a constituent country of the united kingdom, on the island of ireland. |- |  |  | 909 | lesotho is an enclave which is entirely surrounded by south africa. |- |  | {{flag|fr
