Borders (before closure)

"Borders (before closure)" refers to the regulations, customs checks, and physical boundaries that separate different countries, restricting the free movement of people and goods. These borders are implemented to enforce immigration laws, protect national security, and regulate trade, often involving passports, visas, and customs procedures. Before Borders closed (or became more restrictive), crossing involved formalities and inspections to ensure compliance with each nation's policies. These borders shape economic activity, cultural exchange, and security dynamics by controlling who and what can enter or leave a country.
