A colleague of mine just launched an interesting project called Border Bumping.
The goal of the project is to create a database and map of redrawn country borders based upon where mobile phone companies think you are. For instance: a user is physically in Germany but her device reports she is in France. The Border Bumping server will take this report literally and the French border will be redrawn accordingly on the map.
If you have an Android phone and would like to participate, you can download the application here (look for Application for Android Smartphones): http://borderbumping.net/
Here is the latest redrawn map: http://borderbumping.net/map/
