Astute overview. I think the Pale is a fascinating historical model to understand imperial central command on foreign territory. Dublin and its surrounding area were in a sense always the hub for a foreign occupier. In a way, Israel has a similar role in the wider Middle East. Despite its small territory, it punches above its weight as a launchpad for imperial influence.
