The Earth is highly imbalanced.

Some countries have more resources than others.

Some have natural harbours and others are landlocked.

Some consist primarily of deserts and others have fertile farmland.

Some countries are islands and some border many other countries.

These differences between countries results in each one having a unique set of interest, desires, and abilities.

And this result is a system that we know as geopolitics.

Learn more about geopolitics and how geography has shaped the destiny of countries

on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. everywhere daily. This episode is going to be a little bit different. Normally I used an

episode to explain some historical event, the story of a person, or some scientific phenomenon.

This episode isn't going to be as clear-cut.

I want to use this episode to introduce a way of thinking, a way of looking at maps,

geology, and history to understand how and why the world works as it does.

Many of the facts about countries aren't disputed, but how those facts are interpreted certainly can be.

So I'm going to be providing brief overviews of some. how those facts are interpreted certainly can be.

So I'm going to be providing brief overviews of some of the world's largest countries and

explain how and why their geography and geology has made these countries the way they are today. In particular, I want to focus on the general

layout and location of the country, its energy resources, and its ability to produce food.

These I know are very broad categories, and there is certainly a lot more to what makes up a country than just those three things.

Culture, technology, history, and the policies that they've implemented are also huge factors in the trajectory of a nation.

So with that, what country is generally considered by geographers to have the best geography?

And the answer is, the United States.
