The concept of "regions" is useful to geographers because it allows them to break up the world into manageable units in order to analyze and compare spatial relationships. Regions are divided based mostly on cultural similarities or spatial placement on the globe. Nonetheless, regions do not have rigid definitions and their boundaries are fluid. Geographers have differing opinions and it is hard to categorize certain countries into one specific region due to the uniqueness juxtaposed to cultural similarities or geographic location. Some of the countries which are hard to categorize into a specific region are Russia, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
