		A panhandle is an informal geographic term for an elongated tail-like protrusion of a geo-political entity, such as a subnational entity or a sovereign state.
		Instead, a panhandle is delimited by a land border on at least one side and extends out from the larger geographical body of the administrative unit.
		The panhandle shape is the result of arbitrarily drawn international or subnational boundaries, although the location of some administrative borders takes into account other considerations such as economic ties or topography.
