Fewer and fewer new answers coming in now. 10 more minutes before we call it

🚨🚨🚨 Any final answers before we call it ????

We are aware of one unclaimed answer we would still give a point for. Hint - it is in Europe

🏁🏁🏁 ok, game over for the Dec 2023

Just for laughs we would have also given a point for Germany 🇩🇪 Switzerland 🇨🇭 Austria 🇦🇹 since there is no definitively agreed border in the Bodensee / Lake Constance and thus no agreed tripoint.

Time to tally up the score and 👑 crown the winner
