::I think there must be strong [[visions]] of what this can do, so I support using ecoregions and whole-planet systems ([[atmosphere]], [[climate]]) being as the basis of all [[ecology risk]] information, while [[country]], [[trade]], [[border]] questions must be how you deal with [[social risk]].  There's really no other way.

:::I agree with house elf (142) on the separation of area of denomination for [[social risk]] and [[ecology risk]], though some further distinctions must be made to assess [[social risk]] eg.
