La geografía de un país tiene un gran impacto en su cultura. Si un país está muy aislado por la tierra o las masas de agua, puede ser difícil comerciar y / o interactuar con las culturas de otros países. Dependiendo de los recursos disponibles dentro del país, el aislamiento puede ser algo positivo o negativo. Un país cercano a otros países puede verse muy influenciado por el colonialismo o por ser una potencia colonial, y el comercio entre los dos países podría llevar a la interdependencia, o un poder dominante y sumiso.
