A model for the emergence of geopolitical division

In this work, we present a model based on a competitive dynamics that intends to imitate the processes leading to some characteristics of the geopolitical division.

description In this work, we present a model based on a competitive dynamics that intends to imitate the processes leading to some characteristics of the geopolitical division. The model departs from very simple principles of geopolitical theory and geometrical considerations, but succeeds in explaining the general features related to the actual process. At the same time, we will propose an evolutionary explanation to the fact that most capitals (in Eurasia) are located far from the borders or coasts and, in many cases, close to the barycentre of the respective countries.
