Peneexclaves

Peneexclaves are a unique geographical and political phenomenon. They refer to territories that are not entirely surrounded by the territory of another country, but are separated from their own country by a body of water or another significant geographical barrier. The key distinction from a full exclave is that a peneexclave is *connected* to its parent country by a land bridge, or is so close to its mainland that a land bridge could conceivably be built or has existed historically. This connection, however tenuous, differentiates it from a true exclave, which is entirely severed by foreign territory or international waters.

The term itself is a portmanteau, combining "peninsula" with "exclave." This reflects the often peninsular nature of these territories. They are effectively peninsulas that are politically separate from the mainland peninsula they are geographically attached to. Examples might include islands that are very close to the mainland of their sovereign state but are politically administered by a different entity, or mainland territories that are separated by a narrow strait or river that is under foreign control. The concept is not as rigidly defined as a full exclave, and the degree of separation and connection can vary. Their existence often stems from historical treaties, colonial legacies, or geopolitical circumstances.
