UPSC asked this question on border-related facts. Here, I am covering 10 interesting border-related facts from around the world:
North Korea โ South Korea (Korean Demilitarized Zone, DMZ)
India โ Nepal
This border is open, allowing citizens of both countries to cross freely without visas or passports under the India-Nepal Friendship Treaty.
Netherlands โ Belgium (Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog)
This town has one of the most complicated international borders in the world, with over 30 Belgian enclaves inside the Netherlands and Dutch enclaves inside those Belgian enclaves.
Spain โ Portugal (La Raya)
This border, established in 1297, is considered one of the oldest unchanged borders in the world.
Pakistan โ Afghanistan (Durand Line)
This border, about 2,670 km (1,660 miles) long, is considered one of the most dangerous due to ongoing conflicts and militant activity.
United States โ Canada (Derby Line, Vermont)
A library called the Haskell Free Library and Opera House is located on the border, with one part in the U.S. and the other in Canada. Visitors can cross from one country to another inside the building.
France โ Italy (Mont Blanc)
The exact border on Mont Blanc changes depending on glacial movements, making it an ever-shifting border.
United States โ Canada
The 49th parallel forms a straight-line border of about 2,000 km (1,243 miles) between the two countries.
