History
Ivrograd Joint Security Zone
Situated southwest of Zarinsk, Ivrograd was selected as the center of the zone during treaty negotiations, leading to the establishment of the Ivrograd Joint Security Zone. The Line of Control runs directly through the city’s center. Despite military forces being strictly prohibited by treaty within the Demilitarized Zone (DAZ), both the Velikoslav Valkar and the Ostrozavan Civil Guard maintain a presence there to ensure public order and enforce the law on each side of the divide. Both governments have embassies in Ivrograd, which house military representatives for coordinating negotiations and joint actions.
The IJS also houses the renowned Zelovsk Rail Station, constructed in 1971 directly on the Line of Control for the Bardereć-Zarinsk Line. Jointly maintained by both nations, the station serves as a transportation hub and venue for diplomatic events. Both countries have held numerous meetings at the station since its opening ceremony. In 2004, Zelovsk underwent updates and renovations to accommodate increased passenger and cargo traffic. A third floor was added, featuring enhanced conference and temporary living spaces.
DAZ Communities
Despite the limited rebuilding operations since the conclusion of the war, the Demilitarized Zone (DAZ) encompasses seven known communities. However, the majority of the population residing within the DAZ is concentrated in the city of Ivrograd, which has a population of 7,727 according to the 2022 census conducted. Smaller villages are also known to be inhabited, with the Velikoslav side containing the villages of Velsk], Nicholaus, and Torsten, all with a population between 500 and 1,000 residents. The Ostrozavan side governs the three villages of X, X, and X, all with a population between X00 and X000 residents.
The treaty did not explicitly address the status of the people left behind within the DAZ. Those residing in Ivrograd, which is divided in half, have occasionally been able to obtain documentation to enter and leave both countries due to the gradual relaxation of security measures over the decades, facilitated by the period of neutrality in Ostrozava. Despite being situated on either side of the DAZ, those living within the zone were the last to receive reconstruction aid. Clearances for the entry and movement of heavy machinery and supplies had to be obtained through both sides of the zone each time, resulting in many individuals fleeing the zone as refugees, leaving it sparsely populated with the remnants of numerous ruined communities remaining untouched.
