In 1946, the House Of Peace was completed on the borders of Alberta and West Montana in Cascadia, Saskatchewan in Canada and Montana of the United States of America (the real-life location can be seen at about https://www.google.com/maps/@48.99962,-110.0044919,31m/data=!3m1!1e3).
It was a symbol of a peace agreement on an area were a practical war has been going on for over 100 years at the time, and there hundreds of thousands of people died fighting what was, in the end, a pointless war.
Just outside the House of Peace are granite walls with the names of people who died fighting for the country of the specific side the specific wall was on (for example, the names of Cascadians would be on the Cascadian side, Canadians the Canadian side, and Americans on the United States side) as a reminder of the Cascadian border war.
For the next decades, the broke the ugliness and movement restrictions between the three North American countries.
In the 2017 war timeline, while movement to and from the location was restricted by the armed forces of the belligerents, the armed forces involved agreed to leave the location alone as a sign of respect for people who died in the past.
As the story stands now, it continues to exist.
