Strategy beyond an Earth-centred map

The book imagines Earth powers establishing colonies and becoming multiplanetary states. Those colonies do not simply carry terrestrial alliances into space. Distance, resources, and new centers of power may turn an ally on Earth into a competitor, a threat, or a strategically marginal actor elsewhere. A neighboring state could matter greatly on Earth yet count for little if it has no comparable position off world. The proposed term "intergeo strategy" names this problem of strategy between worlds, though the wording is offered tentatively. The passage extends a familiar problem of geography and political interest into an interplanetary setting.
