Coastlines mark the boundary between land and sea, shaped by waves, tides, and erosion into cliffs, bays, beaches, and estuaries. They are strategically vital for trade, fishing, and national security. Political borders are human-drawn lines separating sovereign nations - some follow natural features like rivers and mountain ranges, others were drawn through colonial treaties or conflict. Maritime borders extend into the sea and determine rights over fishing, oil, and shipping lanes. Border disputes remain a significant source of international tension. This sub-category tests knowledge of where countries begin and end - both on land and along the world's coastlines.
