More important in North Region
More important in South Region
Development continues along the historical path (Rogers et al., 2004) that led to the autonomy of North Region.
A new partnership between the regions leads to an improved economic situation for North Region and a more stable border between the regions.
Troubles at the border continue. The economic situation in North Region continues to worsen (Frank, 1998) . South Region dissolves its historical ties to North Region, preferring to develop international ties.
