territory
• Enclave: helps to define the fifth class of country shapes
• Perforated state: completely surrounds a territory that it does not rule
• Land-locked: those lacking ocean frontage and surrounded by other states
• Core area: contains its most developed economic base, densest population and largest
cities as well as the most highly developed transportation system
• Unitary states: countries with highly centralized governments, relatively few internal
cultural contrasts, a strong sense of national identity, and borders that are clearly cultural
as well as political boundaries
• Federal states: associations of more or less equal provinces with strong regional
governmental responsibilities, the national capital city may have been newly creates or
selected to serve as the administrative center
• Geometric boundaries: segments or parallels of latitude or meridians of longitude
• Antecedent boundary: one drawn across an area before it is well populated
• Subsequent: boundaries drawn after the development of the cultural landscape
• Consequent: a bored drawn to accommodate existing religious, linguistic, ethnic, or
economic differences among countries
• Imposed boundaries: forced on existing cultural landscapes, country, or a people by a
conquering or colonizing power that is unconcerned about preexisting cultural patterns
• Relic boundary: a former boundary line that no longer functions as such is still marker by
some landscape features or differences on the two sides
• Positional disputes: when states disagree about the interpretation of documents that
define a boundary and/or the way the boundary was delimited
• Territorial disputes: arise when a boundary that has been superimposed on the
landscape divides an ethnically homogenous population
• Irredentism: if the people of one state want to annex a territory whose population is
ethnically elated to that of the state but now subject to a foreign government
• Resource disputes: closely related to territorial conflicts
• Functional disputes: when neighboring states disagree over policies to be applied along
a boundary
• Centripetal forces: factors that bind together the people of a state, that enable it to
function and give it strength
• Nationalism: an identification with the state and the acceptance of
