I would call it a shade of green, meaning that the Cypriot flag has green on it. Some cultures would call it a shade of yellow or a shade of brown though.

Map of Geo-Social DivisionsSome Redditor posted:North-South and East-West category countries experience division generally along one axis, while Bi-Axial countries experience division along both North-South and East-West axes. Non-Axial countries are those with numerous internal division that generally do not run along a North-South or East-West axis and have multiple regions that significantly differ from the capital. Core-Peripheral countries on the other hand experience a division between the densely populated core, usually the capital, and the less populated rural lands that surround it. Fragmented countries experience severe division from islands or mountain valleys while Coastal-Inland countries are effectively on culture around the coast and a separate one in the hinterlands.

Baconomics posted:Map of Geo-Social Divisions fishmech posted:There used to be a lot more analogous things, but in most cases they've been given independence or more tightly integrated into the ruling country over time. Really the proper way to describe them is that the relationship between the Isle of Man and the several different Channel Island territories and regular United Kingdom/its Queen is an old-fashioned feudal one. The crown officially owns them, without them being fully added into the rest of the country.

Australia has a coastal/inland divide because it is famously ruled by Immortan Joe, who lords over the coasts from his home in the Outback Similarly, as we all know the greatest divide in modern Israel is the notorious split between north Israel and south Israel Hawaii, Socotra, Galapagos, and the Falklands are all known throughout the world as independent nations with very fragmented societies if you look very, very closely you can also see that Singapore is split between its core and its periphery, which it definitely has (to answer your question: because it is a very Bad Map)

computer parts posted:It seems to only apply to island nations. If I had to guess, I'd say that an island can be Core-Peripheral other then Coastal-Interior if there are multiple coastal gravities instead of just one. Like Liberia isn't Coastal-Interior since only the capital (which is on the coast) is concentrated while the rest of the coast just has minor cities no more significant than the interior, while Australia has big-ish cities on various coasts and jack interior. EDIT: like see how Haiti and DR are C-P despite being islands since one urban center totally dominates. If I had to guess, non-islands *could* be C/P but most of them are large enough to have additional divisions. Australia being anomalous since it's huge but also has an empty interior.

"Number of partners" is the most useless metric when talking about the volume of land owned by a country's subjects abroad, isn't it.

 From The Economist on Friday. Hello income inequality. I'm surprised by Inner Mongolia and Liaoning. Thought they'd be poorer. And it can't be just proximity to big cities: Hebei gets skipped over in relation to Beijing. Disclaimer: Technically I live in China but that doesn't mean I have any knowledge about the country as a whole.

The Sea is massive transportation system for goods (and so, a economic boost), a amazing foor source and a factor of food diversity (so cheap awesome food), going to the beach is a fun pastime (so more fun to live), big water bodies atempere climate (so less extreme winter/summer). Do you want to live in a place where is more fun, theres cheaper and better food, better climate, better jobs, or do you want to live in the interior of a country?

Badger of Basra posted:I'd say Argentina could probably be core-periphery too. I thought Argentina would be a textbook example of core-periphery. They've had multiple civil wars over the issue. It's why I'm not a fan of those maps, in nearly every country multiple divisions apply simultaneously and it's just reductionist to single out one of them. Not everything needs to end up in map form. tough stains posted:

tough stains posted:
Inner Mongolia is because of coal, just like Wyoming is in the US. Liaoning is similarly due to natural resources although they also have agriculture and manufacturing. Also interesting note: the combined population of all of those darker coastal provinces, from Liaoning down to Guangdong (not counting marked cities or HK etc) is 420 million people. Adding in the cities, you get a population of 502 million people. The population in China about the time of this data was ~1.34 billion people, so that means it covers about 38% of the population.

Kamrat posted:Politically loaded children's maps: Other conquests include Russia and Iran dividing up Georgia/Armenia/Azerbaijan, and the UAE taking over northern Oman. To the east, Afghanistan's lost its northern third and India has apparently decided to start restoring Greater India, starting with northern Pakistan. In Africa, Ethiopia has its sea access back by annexing Djibouti, half of Somalia, and half of Eritrea, which is now a triangle. Tasmania has declared independence from Australia, cheered on by the single island of New Zealand. Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea has taken control of the entirety of New Guinea. In the Caribbean, Cuba got tired of all the various island nations and simplified things by annexing them all. And yet somehow the map does a decent job of depicting Western Africa.
