A '''border''' is an [[edge]] or [[boundary]], most frequently of a [[country]]. The longest border between two countries is the [[United States]]-[[Canada]] border. They can be very complex with [[enclaves]] and [[exclaves]], such as the India-[[Bangladesh]] border. Border disputes can simmer for decades, e.g. the [[Kashmir]] region divided between [[Pakistan]] and [[India]].

Another phenomenon is open borders, where a number of countries agree to give full access to civilians and goods of other member states to enter their territory, e.g. the [[European Union]]. [[Donald Trump]] famously remarked that "A nation without borders isn't a nation".
