Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

Korea (South) / Kyonggi / Pochon /
 military, demilitarized zone, draw only border
Roughly 2.5 mi (4 km) wide strip of land 238 km wide surrounding the static front lines that were established by the cease-fire process that halted the Korean war. The line reaches approx one mile on either side of the central Military Demarcation Line (MDL), which has become the de-facto border between the two Koreas. The DMZ is the most heavily fortified border in the world.

Heavy military weapons are prohibited within the DMZ, which remains largely the way it was left the day of the cease fire, with rusting military equipment scattered throughout. The borders of both sides of the DMZ are heavily fortified, with watchtowers erected every couple of miles that both sides use to observe any enemy activity within the DMZ.
