After you draw your map for D&D, your novel, or just for your own world building, you're gonna eventually need to create countries and empires. That's what this video is here to help with. This video goes over how borders work, why empires and states have the borders that they do, and a bit about many different powers over the centuries. For all kingdoms, city states, tribes, nations, empires, provinces, regions, etc., this will help. This is mostly historical information, so it's most helpful when writing fantasy. But it'd probably have a couple things for the sci-fi writers among y'all too.
