Geometric borders
There is a section with this heading, though the text says "geometric boundaries". I have failed to find a single example of either phrase in this meaning anywhere other than this article. A search of all ten corpora hosted at BYU gives a total of seven instances of "geometric borders" and seven of "geometric boundaries". Two of the latter are referring to national boundaries, but it is clear that "geometric" is not being used in a technical sense, but as an impressionistic word in a magazine article. All the rest, apart from the occurrences in this article, are about other kinds of boundaries, not lines on maps. Nor does a search engine (I use DuckDuckGo) on '"geometric borders" map' produce anything relevant in the first page of results. This looks to me like original research by whoever wrote the article. --ColinFine (talk) 18:12, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
