Provide an example of boundaries related to their country within or around such as: Antecedent, Subsequent (Ethnographic), Superimposed, Relic, Geometric, and Consequent. (Only describe the boundaries that specifically relate to your country, it might include multiple boundaries)
Antecedent Boundary:
Example: The historical boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland was established before the region became divided along religious and national lines. It existed before the partition of Ireland in 1921.
Subsequent (Ethnographic) Boundary:
Example: The boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland became a subsequent (ethnographic) boundary after the partition. The division resulted in the separation of communities with different ethnic, religious, and national identities.
Superimposed Boundary:
Example: The partition of Ireland and the creation of Northern Ireland involved the imposition of a political boundary over an existing geographic area, superimposing a new division irrespective of the pre-existing cultural and geographic patterns.
Relic Boundary:
Example: The historical boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland can be considered a relic boundary in the sense that it reflects the legacy of historical events and political decisions. The boundary is a relic of the partition of Ireland. Example is the hadrians wall
Geometric Boundary:
Example: Parts of the boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland follow geometric lines, such as straight lines or meridians, particularly in areas where the landscape doesn't naturally dictate the border.
Consequent Boundary:
Example: The boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has consequences for the communities living on either side. It reflects the consequences of historical events and political decisions, shaping the cultural, political, and economic landscape of the region.
Provide an example if your country has an open and/or militarized boundary.
The UK has an open boundary with the Republic of Ireland. As the two states share a Common Travel Area and are participants in the European Single Market, the border is essentially an open one, allowing free passage of people since 1923 and of goods since 19931. As for militarized boundaries, the UK does not have any heavily militarized borders like those seen in conflict zones.
