Territories and nations

The Earth is divided into territories. A territory is a geographical area on the surface of Earth governed by a given group of humans during a given period.

The government of a territory is responsible for making this territory useful. This includes maintaining peace among his citizens within the borders of its territory and with its neighbors.

The governing group of a territory can change in time.

A territorial conflict is when two or more groups claim responsibility for a given territory.
