Well, Bhj867 and I have just finished zoning off the Pretanic Demilitarised Zone (PDZ), possibly one of the longest heavily fortified border in the world. Not wanting to brag, but it is quite significant even in the OGF world.
If you (an Antigoan) try to even enter the zone, 40 bullets will start hailing at you, and possibly 3 to 5 grenades will be thrown, and last of all, get exploded by a landmine before you can cross to paradise in Pretany. Charming. (Antigoan Propaganda-Why even try to escape the paradise of Antigo and go to the hell in Pretany? Why also die in this disgraceful manner?)
Comparing to the Korean Demilitarised Zone, it is much longer, and zigzags crazily not on one straight latitude (the DMZ in Korea used to go along the 38th parallel, but the current one is not). However, it is still slightly too straight for some parts.
There are still some more things to do, such as adding more army bases on both sides, creating a Joint Security Area where negotiations can take place, and make it more zig-zag-gy like this.
The border is believed to be formed after an armistice is signed between the two states of Pretany and Antigo following some sort of civil war. Similar to how the DMZ in Korea is created.
Behind the senses, bhj867 and I are still discussing for potential border conflicts, such as a case for hikers from Rickorack Reserve getting lost and entering Antigo by accident. (Hike at your own risk!)

It is not accurate to say the Korean DMZ goes straight along the 38th parallel. It DID INITIALLY go along the 38th parallel (prior to 1950), but 3 years of war bent it out of its original alignment.
My current house (for 2 more weeks!) is about 10km south of the “3rd tunnel” in that image - I can see the DMZ from the top of a nearby hill. When I was here in Korea as a US soldier in the 1990s, I was stationed not far from here, too, and our unit did patrol support sometimes within the DMZ (northeast of the JSA).

Sorry for the error about the DMZ, but actually that is what I remembered about the DMZ (inaccurately) during a tour before.
I was thinking about what will bhj867 will do for Pretany’s side, but I believe AN peacekeeping forces will be there.
I I recently went on to read a bit more about the JSA due to the Korean summit, and also about how the DMZ looks from the North’s perspective. I also read about the so-called Korean Wall, which technically doesnt exist.
