Political geography

Political geography is all about how people live together in different areas or regions of the world under different governments or political systems.

Let us start with a home: Imagine that you and your sister are living in your house, and your parents make the rules about how to live in the house like cleaning your rooms, eating together or watching TV for a certain period. This is similar to what governments do in their countries. They make the rules about how people should live, work, and act in their country.

Now, think of your neighbours who live next door to you. They might have different rules about how they live in their house, like going to bed at a different time or eating different types of food. This is called diversity in culture and society.

Similarly, other countries have different ways of living and different rules that they follow. Some countries might have a King or Queen while some countries might have a President. These rules and systems of governing people are called political systems.

Political geography also talks about how borders are made between countries to define their boundaries, and how different countries make alliances or agree on trade deals. This affects how people from one country can travel to another or how goods are traded among different countries.

Overall, political geography is all about understanding how people live, interact, and govern themselves in different territories and regions around the world.
