Thanks Bruno. Currently all the boxes are shown occupied which I think is intentional. But how about a failed state whose place in nature is now vacant or to be taken over by another state, ie. an empty box? Unless the reason there is no empty box is because nature exists only if a state is there to define it...

**Spoiler warning** I have two theories about this treaty now after completing your new book. It depicts several states each inhabiting their respective natures and globalization connecting them all. I think this would be most observers' immediate reaction.

Or it depicts several states inhabiting a singular shared nature (the legend says States not State) perhaps of a planetary body, and globalization takes upon a hidden, less commonly intended meaning which is more alike the movement of the globe and the spiral it produces in space. It is not quite clear which phase of the globe is at the beginning or end of the spiral, because it can be flipped upside down, and the globe is drawn as a mundane square yet produces a circle. Hence, the book title could be also be Geopolitics for the Start Time and would sound less ominous yet be the same book!
