Document Summary
Forms of potical and geographical organization: the physical maps show a world that has barely changed in human history, although out knowledge of it certainly has. Today it is generally accepted as the norm for political and geographical organization.

Sudan, but the international community does not yet seem to have come up with a satisfactory answer. Ancient greece, the roman empire and the middle ages: the ancient greek city-state, known as polis, was one of the earliest forms of political unit in europe. Land was, effectively, part of the roman empire, or it could become so at some point in the future. Europe became a much more jumbled and complicated political unit. Various kings, tribes and other political groupings, including the church, had power over land.
