Jochaclian Military Line

The Jochaclian Military Line is the border between Jochaena and Aclia. It is consisted of mostly heavily fortified zones and battlefields. It is surrounded by a dangerous buffer zone of villages on the north and south.

Occasionally, atrocities are committed by Aclia and sometimes Jochaena here.

Villages
Both Jochaena and Aclia maintain villages in sight of each other's side of the JML. In Jochaena, villagers are classed as Jochaenan citizens, but are exempt from paying tax and other civic requirements such as military service. In Aclia, Polytelis, which means Luxury in Greek, features a number of brightly painted, poured-concrete multi-story buildings and apartments with electric lighting. These features represented an unheard-of level of luxury for rural Aclians. The town was oriented so that the bright blue roofs and white sides of the buildings would be the most distinguishing features when viewed from the border. However, based on scrutiny with modern telescopic lenses, it has been claimed the buildings are mere concrete shells lacking window glass or even interior rooms, with the building lights turned on and off at set times and the empty sidewalks swept by a skeleton crew of caretakers in an effort to preserve the illusion of activity.

Flagpoles
In the 2040s, the Aclian government built a 98.4 m (323 ft) flag pole in Polytelis, which flies an Aclian flag weighing 130 kilograms (287 pounds). In what some have called the "flagpole war," the Jochaenan government responded by building the 160 m (525 ft) "Peace" flagpole in Poteserta, only 1.2 km (0.7 mi) west of the border with Aclia. It flies a 270 kg (595 lb) flag of Jochaena.

Border incidents
Ever since 2031, there were massive border skirmishes and "incidents" near the border, which sparked tensions. You can find a list of border incidents here.
