From the ballot box to the buffer zone, this episode maps the world's unfinished business with borders. We travel from Scotland's stalled independence movement and Northern Ireland's Brexit-era standoff, through Catalonia's amnesty fight and Belgium's linguistic divide — then into the harder edges: Georgia's Russian-backed breakaway region, Armenia and Azerbaijan's fragile peace after Nagorno-Karabakh, and Somaliland's sudden leap from total isolation to its first-ever recognition. We sit with Western Sahara's decades-long limbo, the Kurdish peoples split across four nations, Kashmir's nuclear-shadowed standoff, Cyprus's slow thaw after fifty years of partition, and the "One China" question shaping the fate of Taiwan.

Twelve regions, six categories, one throughline: what happens when a line on a map stops being a fact everyone agrees on.

Every dispute is presented from multiple sides — no verdicts, just the fault lines themselves.
