Can national borders be seen from space?

A few can

The India-Pakistan border is floodlit and visible at night, and the Haiti-Dominican Republic line shows as a sharp deforestation edge. Most borders are invisible.

The crescent on flags such as Turkey's and Pakistan's is most associated with what?

Islam

The crescent was used by Byzantium and later the Ottomans, and became associated with Islam largely through Ottoman use rather than religious doctrine.

Which pair of neighbouring countries has never fought a war with each other?

Sweden and Norway since 1814
