Is the shape of a state a political boundary or a natural boundary?
2 answers
Political, although the political boundaries of many states are also natural, for example several states that border on the Mississippi river.
The shape of a state depends upon its political boundaries.
However, many political boundaries are also natural boundaries. Straight lines are strictly political whereas uneven lines are both political and natural.
