The East-West Cerdani Neutral Zone also known as the 'Inner Cerdani Neutral Zone' is an area along the border between East Cerdani and West Cerdani where the official borders between the two countries have not been settled. The neutral zone came into existence following the Cerdani Peace Accords of 1922 which defined the border between East and West Cerdani following the Cerdan Civil War. Agreements have been attempted since the 1990s to resolve the border, none of which have been signed or accepted by both East and West Cerdani.
The zone is not officially administered by either government and has been fenced off on both sides since the 1940s with the East Cerdan side existing as an extension of the Inner Cerdan Border. No new buildings have been constructed in the zone since it's creation and any permanent residency of an East or West Cerdan citizen within the zone is forbidden under the terms of the Peace Accord. Despite the area often being regarded as a lawless "no mans land" since the mid 2000s the Neutral Zone has become a somewhat popular location for foreign tourists who trespass into the zone to explore the area and it's abandoned settlements and ruins.
