A borderless country may be defined as an island nation, an insular territory over which a nation-state is sovereign under international law, that does not share the land territory of its island with other nation-states sovereign under international law. For example, the Republic of Ireland shares the island of Ireland with Northern Ireland and thus is not borderless. Madagascar, on the other hand, is defined as a borderless country because it controls an entire island. In the example of Australia most geographers would argue that one country controls the entire continental mainland of a continent. A borderless nation does not have to be located on a single island though, as countries such as the Federated States of Micronesia can consist of thousands of islands. Cuba is a disputed case of an island nation because the United States exercises effective sovereignty over part of Guantanamo Bay. ...more on Wikipedia about "Borderless country"
Cultural ecology is ecology including humans. It studies the relationship between a given society and its natural environment - the life-forms and ecosystems that support its lifeways. This may be carried out historically (diachronically), or synchronically (examining a present system and its components). The central argument is that the natural environment, in small scale or subsistence societies dependent in part upon it - is a major contributor to social organisation and other human institutions. Particularly those concerned with the distribution of wealth and power in a society, and how that affects such behaviour as hoarding or gifting, e.g. the Haida tradition of the potlatch on the Canadian west-coast. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cultural ecology"

In England there are reckoned to be more than 3,000 Deserted Medieval Village (DMV) sites. These are settlements, which have been abandoned for one reason or another over the years, usually leaving little but the remains of earthworks or ghostly cropmarks. If, at a DMV, there are less than three inhabited houses the convention is to regard the site as deserted; if there are more than three houses, it is thought of as only shrunken. ...more on Wikipedia about "Deserted Medieval Village"

An estate comprises the houses and outbuildings and supporting farmland and woods that surround the gardens and grounds of a very large property, such as a country house or mansion. It is an "estate" because the profits from its produce and rents are sufficient to support the household in the house at its center. Thus "the estate" may refer to all other cottages and villages in the same ownership as the mansion itself. An example of such an estate is Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, England. ...more on Wikipedia about "Estate (house)"

A housing estate is a medium-to-low density residential area, usually part of a suburb of a town or city in a developed country. It is a common form of residential area in the UK, and is similarly popular in Europe. It is less prominent in countries with lower population densities, such as the USA and Australia. In contrast to high density housing, such as tower blocks, town housing or the older-style rows of terraced houses associated with the industrial revolution, housing estates usually feature detached or semi-detached houses with small plots of land around them forming gardens. Very often, an estate will be built by a single contractor, with only a few styles of house design, so they tend to be very uniform in appearance. This phenomenon is less prevalent in Australia and the US, where estates often feature individual houses each built to a unique design selected by the initial occupier. ...more on Wikipedia about "Housing estate"
Human geography is a branch of geography that focuses on the systematic study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with the environment, with particular reference to the causes and consequences of the spatial distribution of human activity on the Earth's surface. It encompasses human, political, cultural, social, and economic aspects. While the major focus of human geography is not the physical landscape of the Earth (see physical geography) it is hardly possible to discuss human geography without referring to the physical landscape on which human activities are being played out, and environmental geography is emerging as an important link between the two. ...more on Wikipedia about "Human geography"
