Getting and keeping a territory requires territorial boundaries and defense of those boundaries, and this is done through various means, from passive to very aggressive. Having space on your own and protecting it. Two major types of defense: defense through marking, objects, graffiti, fences (real and political), memberships, uniforms, signs, barriers, defense through overt behaviour, gestures, position, posture, rituals, grouping, weapons, conflict, seen through military units. A group of people sharing a common culture and an attachment to some territory.
