So you know who comes in and out of your country.

Because without defined boarders land in one country could be used that didn't actually belong to that country.

Clearly defined borders can help prevent border disputes, as no one can claim that "this is my land" if everyone is clear as to who the land actually belongs to.

Clearly defined borders are important because otherwise people get selfish and try and take more than their share.

defined borders are very important because if not there would be disputes over territory and everyone would get mad.

It could be important if the land is of significance (Germany WW2 Rhineland) or making the country bigger.

Defined boarders are important because countries are greedy and always want more.

if there was not borders then everybody would get in arguments about how other countries are getting to close and also countries could just completely absorb other countries without any real consequences.

Because people are territorial like animals and they don’t want other people to “claim” their land

It's important because without them no one will know who has what territory and they will then get confused and angry which could cause problems.

Defined borders are important because if there weren't any, then some countries would get greedy and take more land than their share. Also, territorial disputes could be prevented.

It’s hard for countries to keep up what is happening on their land, that and countries and start to take land from one another.

Because if there are borders, violence can be contained and controlled.
