Basic Definitions
• State – A space with a permanent population, territorial
boundaries recognized by other states, a government, and sovereignty. • A synonym for STATE is COUNTRY
• Sovereignty – A state has sovereignty if it has authority over its
own political, social, and economic matters. • In other words, a country can take care of its own
“stuff” without anyone else messing with their “stuff.”

Shapes of States
• States generally have one of five different basic shapes:
– Elongated
– Fragmented
– Compact
– Perforated
– Prorupted
![Page 6: Political Geography - Mr. Tredinnick's Class SitePolitical Geography Claiming our Territory DOGS Humans Basic Definitions •State –A space with a permanent population, territorial](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050123/5f5343df75131e07ae4872a8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Elongated States
Elongated states have a long, narrow shape.
Can lead to poor communication and isolation.
Regions at either end may not be easily controlled by a central government.
Example: Chile
![Page 7: Political Geography - Mr. Tredinnick's Class SitePolitical Geography Claiming our Territory DOGS Humans Basic Definitions •State –A space with a permanent population, territorial](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050123/5f5343df75131e07ae4872a8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Fragmented States
Fragmented states have several pieces of discontinuous territory (broken in pieces)
2 kinds:
-Fragmented by water (like the
Philippines )
-Fragmented by another state (ex. Russia is in two pieces)
![Page 8: Political Geography - Mr. Tredinnick's Class SitePolitical Geography Claiming our Territory DOGS Humans Basic Definitions •State –A space with a permanent population, territorial](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050123/5f5343df75131e07ae4872a8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Compact States In a compact state, the distance from the center to the border is about the same on all sides.
PRO:
Good for communication and defense.
Example: Uruguay

Perforated States
A state that completely surrounds another state.
Example: South Africa completely surrounds Lesotho.
![Page 10: Political Geography - Mr. Tredinnick's Class SitePolitical Geography Claiming our Territory DOGS Humans Basic Definitions •State –A space with a permanent population, territorial](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050123/5f5343df75131e07ae4872a8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Prorupted States
Basically, they are compact states with a large, projecting extension.
WHY? To gain access to resources (usually water) or to separate itself from problem neighboring countries.
Ex. Afghanistan

Landlocked States
Have no direct access to the sea because they are surrounded by other states.
Access is important for international trade.
Must cooperate and negotiate with other countries for use of railroads and seaports.
