hans island is uninhabited, and the border is technically shared with greenland. its people are eu citizens, but greenland is not in the european union. they exited the eu's predecessor organization before the eu was formed from it.

    Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is a way better example. Only 19km away from Point May in Newfoundland.
