08 Eighth: the shape and relief of Egypt
- Egypt belongs to the states of regular (compact) shape — the distance from the centre to the edges is nearly equal in every direction.
- Advantages of a compact shape:
- the government can achieve the best communication and control over all parts of the state;
- good internal administration;
- fewer border friction and disputes, because the boundary is short relative to the area.
- Egypt is a state of diverse relief (like Brazil), which yields diverse resources and activities.
- Cairo is the capital and the seat of political decisions — the political heart of the state.
