Important Intenational Lines......

An international line or boundary is geographic boundary of political entities or legal jurisdictions between two countries. It defines two neighbouring countries. These lines are typically demarcated by physical landmarks, such as rivers, mountains, or man-made structures, and are recognized and respected by both countries. The boundary may also be defined by an agreement between the two countries, such as a treaty or convention. Here is the list of such important boundaries or lines of countries.
