Border : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Border

A border is a boundary that separates two countries or territories. It may be materialized in various ways, but usually, frontier posts are placed on roads connecting the two countries, and vehicles trying to cross the border are checked by custom officers.
In some countries, walls materialize the border. This is for example the case in Gaza, it was the case in Germany (Berlin Wall), and the Great Wall of China is also part of these “visible borders”.


Custom officers are civilians who work wearing a uniform in most places so as to be easily recognized and work in various field. Indeed, there is not one single type of job but dozens of different tasks. Custom officers may specialize in arts, so as to check if paintings, sculptures and other artworks have not been stolen, in zoology (especially in Africa to check people's luggage after safaris), they can also work in offices, and check for drugs in vehicles.

Borders exist since the dawn of time. In the 17th century, kings and princes who wanted to establish taxes had to define the limits within which people had to pay. They were more or less clear and guaranteed to head of the nation that people would effectively “cooperate” and pay.

Today, most borders are the result of a power struggle looking a bit like “survival of the fittest”. Some borders have also been drawn using a ruler. Let's take the example of Africa: most borders have been draw using a ruler so as to divide the continent between the colonial empires at the time (France, United-Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, and Italy).
