To add a bit more, if you zoom a bit, there almost always will be some weird straight lines throughout the borders of a country. There are many towns in Turkey, for example, half of which went to Syria. I guess because no one from the people who came up with the borders knew the town was there and/or cared enough. There is even a Turkish movie about this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216986/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216986/
