"To sum up, the ideal situation for the insurgent would be a large landlocked country shaped like a blunt-tipped star, with jungle-covered mountains along the borders and scattered swamps in the plains, in a temperate zone with a large and dispersed rural population and a primitive economy (See Figure 1)"
(David Galula, Counterinsurgency Warfare: Theory and Practice)
