Reminds me of Hans Island, where there was a longtime border dispute between Canada and Denmark over a tiny island off of Newfoundland. They would each take each other's flag and replace it with their own, as well as a well known alcoholic beverage from each country. It was also settled peacefully, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
what was the settlement?
They agreed to just split the island in half as the border, so now Canada and Denmark share a border.
They just kinda drew a line down the middle iirc
