Well, OK, "geographic area". So how do you define a "geographic area"? How large? How bounded?

As far as I'm concerned, the issue was not "preferential treatment" of particular groups (at least not uncoupled from corresponding duties), but self-determination of people in a geographic area, as opposed to being commanded by distant "power centers" (of TNCs or supra-national "governments"). Inside of this context, group divisions are not vital, and rather divisive than helpful.
