The Besmenian Border Zone (Besmenian: Besmenische Grenzzone) was the border between the West Besmenia and East Besmenia. The border was blocked and guarded by the West Besmenian side in the spring of 1926. The reason was the Economic miracle in East Besmenia, which also resulted that many residents moved from West Besmenia to East Besmenia. On June 13, 1966 the border was reopened and dismantling began.
The border guards of the Royal Army which monitored the border had the order to shoot. As a result, border refugees died repeatedly.
The Besmenian Border Zone has long been considered as the one of the most dangerous border in Iearth.
