 -Geography of the country is crucial because it has a mainland and     an archipelago; the maritime part of the country is larger than the   mainland itself.

 

 -The country lacks a navy to control the space.

 

 -The near-total absence of rule of law makes Gineau Bissau more       attractive to drug trade.

 -No efficient prison system!
