Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain enclaves and exclaves, relay notable examples and their resolution from geographic and historical sources, describe ethnic and cultural enclaves, and distinguish enclaves from exclaves, ghettos and military lodgements.

A territory or part of a territory entirely surrounded by the territory of another state or entity, such as Lesotho within South Africa, the former Indo-Bangladesh enclaves exchanged in 2015, and historical cases such as the Moravian enclaves in Silesia, and by extension ethnic, linguistic or cultural enclaves within a surrounding population; the term is paired with exclave, a part of a state separated from its main territory, and in military usage a lodgement is a secured area within enemy territory.

What it is for: Not applicable; a geographic concept.

It can be explain the concept; relay examples; describe cultural enclaves; distinguish related terms.

What the second pass must settle

  • How should geographic and treaty sources be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming historical cases and a military term; should they be split off?
