Political Borders

South Korea shares a border with one of the most feared countries in the world, North Korea. The border that they share is heavily garded along both sides. There is also an electric fence that was put in place so that North Korea could make sure that no one would cross the border into South Korea. There are special means by which the two nations commuinicate at either sides of the main border. Troops are stationed there so that there can be no wrong moves done by either side to try to get into the other boundary. There have been many instances in which both sides have fired at each other and it has lead to involvement of other countries, such as the United States.
