Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. 

To kick off 2024, I found out that Europe has an Island that swaps nationality every six months. 

Pheasant Island spends half the year French, and half the year Spanish. Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of history behind this strange arrangement. 

The BBC has you covered with all the detail:
