Home›Straits and Channels›Bordering Land or CountryBrowse ByBordering Land or CountryThis dimension names the land or country that lies along a body of water's edge. Wikipedia notes that "a body of water does not have to be still or contained; rivers, streams, canals, and other geographical features where accumulated water moves from one place to another are also considered bodies of water," so what borders it can itself be moving water.
