Moresnet is a tiny "country " that resulted from diplomátics errors and the making of the maps which set the boundaries of territories between the Netherlands and Prussia in 1816. Checking the error, both sought to take possession of the territory by the zinc mines that it had . The territory remained undivided - the Germans called it the neutral territory of Altenberg and Belgian neutral territory of Moresnet . The sovereignty of the territory was exercised by the two countries, through two Commissioners . It was integrated in Belgium after the First World War.
