Wacky Border Sunday: Liberty Island

     Hello everybody and welcome back to another edition of Nations Made Fun! I'll be your host, Mr. Nations, your tour guide to this massive world! Today we'll be taking a look at Liberty Island, one of the weirdest border mishaps in the United States. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's dive straight into it, shall we?

     Liberty Island is somewhat of an icon in New York, right? Well, that could be debatable! Since the island is sitting in New Jersey waters, it's a part of New Jersey. But there's a special agreement between the two states that gives New York control of the island, though taxes go to New Jersey and Jersey City supplies electricity to the island.
