7 days of weird borders by @sljivanono #2

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

The state border is a conceived line that borders the state of a state. Almost all of these have been established through interstate agreements, and some have been determined by the court. They are marked with stones and pillars, and recently in traffic signs.

As a boundary, it is often the chain of the highest mountain peaks, the development of two rivers, the geometric middle of the river (mostly sailing), its deepest flow or nut.

THE TRIPLE FRONTIER

The Triple Frontier is a tri-border area along the junction of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, where the Iguazu and Parana rivers converge. Near the confluence are the cities of Ciudad del Este (Paraguay); Puerto Iguazu (Argentina) and Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil).

The Triple Frontier is an important tourist area, within the touristic subregion of the Region de las Aguas Grandes. Visitors can see the Tancredo Neves bridge

,which connects the Argentine city of Puerto Iguazu and its Brazilian neighbor, Foz do Iguaçu. At the convergence of the borders, each of the three bordering countries has erected an obelisk, painted in the national colors of the country in which it is located. All three countries can be seen from each of the obelisks.

The Guarani Aquifer is arguably the biggest reservoir of fresh, potable water in the world—right under Triple Border soil (Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay). The majority (71%) of its 1.2 million square kilometers lies in Brazil.

But there must be some bad things in all; the geography of this area, border areas, political corruption, and the bad judicial system attract Islamic groups that allegedly fund terrorist activities.

Paraguay has not yet defined a law against terrorism and its financial contribution to terrorist organizations is not punished, although transactions in the near East are visible.
