many nation shapes don't make any sense. add in the wildly disconnected/schizophrenic sovereign territory of some countries (US and Russia among exemplars) and I've learned one must simply turn one's brain off when analyzing them. Its a circus.
- mcmoor 2y agoIt starts to make sense once I see nations as collections of big cities holding arbitrary (terrain may matter here) amount of "wastelands" between them. In general, no country would generate from those wastelands so it make sense that it's arbitrarily exchange between big cities surrounding them.
