I call this the soft belly of the World
This is where empires are born and die.
A land of wild, empty deserts, plains or steppes where thriving islands of civilisation can be found here and there.
Yesterday ruled by Mongols, Arabs, Persians, Turks, Manchus or Tatars. Today by Al-qaeda, ISIS, warlords, oil companies, drug cartels and superpowers.
