I claim that land! It is my own personal country now! Lol
Seriously though, I've seen unclaimed land such as that (probably that one) on maps before and always wondered why. Does anybody live there? If a crime where to happen there, would it fall under any jurisdiction? And why does nobody want the land? Is there some kind of international treaty keeping that land completely neutral from any nation? Just so strange!
Reminds me of "The Lost 40", a small patch of land in Northern MN that has the remnant of last old growth forest in the state. It was a mapmaker's error. The land was never platted or sold, though the lumber companies controlled all the land around it.
