''Defaults:'' {{IQ-6}} and others.

This is the study of the physical, political, and economic divisions of a planet, and how they interact. It is part physical science, part social science. You ''must'' specialize:

''Physical:'' The study of the physical properties of a planetary surface. A physical geographer could answer questions about climate, terrain, and so forth. You must further specialize by planet type; see [Planet Types]]. ''Defaults:'' {{Geology (same planet type)-4}} or {{Meteorology (same planet type)-4}}.

''Political:'' The study of political regions – their borders, natural resources, industries, etc. A political geographer could answer questions about land claims, overpopulation, regional economic disparities, transportation networks, etc. ''Default:'' {{Economics-4}}.

''Regional:'' The study of  all of the above, but specific to a single region: New York, the United States, planet Earth, etc. The depth of knowledge decreases with the size of the region (see [[Area Knowledge]]). Default: {{Area Knowledge (relevant)-6}}.

These specialties default among themselves at -5.
