Abolished

Definition

When something is abolished, it means that it is completely eliminated or removed. In the context of internal boundaries, abolishing them would mean getting rid of all borders and divisions within a country.

Analogy

Imagine you have a big pizza with different slices representing different regions of a country. If you abolish the internal boundaries, it's like taking away the lines between the pizza slices and mixing everything together into one big slice.
