History. So, I came up with a story for the southern part, take it or leave it, its your call...
When the Portuguese Empire dissolved, several nations were formed in South America. One of them was The Platean Republic (I'll edit and add this name to it's post) that became, well, a republic. However, a great number of those who wanted to remain in the Empire fled to the West and after founding/renaming a Capital (Nova Lisboa) unified the regional cities. They mantained their monarchy to be a colony of Portugal, but eventually followed their own dinasty and all (after many many years they democratized, however, but for a large period they were a monarchy). Being enemies with La Plata, they fought a war that didn't gave any benefits and that's where the white line appears. It's a demilitarized zone, or, the entire frontier.* What do you think?
*It's late and I am not thinking clearly, I am starting to think that having an entire border demilitarized as the result of a 1 on 1 war is idiotic. You shall tell me
