We talked about Political Geography on Monday.

Political Geography

a group of people with a shared identity. Think of it as a culture group.

Nations are culturally homogeneous groups of, people, larger than a single tribe or community which share a common language, institutions, religion and historical experience

2. An independent state:
- Has a space or territory which has internationally recognized boundaries(boundary disputes are ok)
- Has people who live there on an ongoing basis
- Has economic activity and an organized economy. A country regulates foreign and domestic trade and issues money
- Has the power of social engineering, such as education
- Has a transportation system for moving goods and people
- Has a government which provides public services and police power
- Has sovereignty - no other state should have power over the country's territory Has external recognition- a country has been "voted into the club by other countries
