3.1. Japanese:
3.1.1. The Japan civilization is the only one named after a country. Japan is the only civilization that is a part of the West in some cases, but in others it is completely apart.

3.3. Western Civilization:
3.3.1. Western civilization is the most modern and most advanced one of all, in terms of technology and economies. Western Civilization is seen as the enemy, mainly because it constant show of domination in the other ones. Major countries of this block: USA, UK, France.
3.4. Islamic Civilization:
3.4.1. The Islam is one of the most antique religions in our world. With a lot of countries involved and many people who profess their religion based in fundamentalism, is indeed a powerful block.

3.5.1.1.1. Weapon States: Weapon States are those countries who are not part of the Western that have a military and an army based in nuclear and advanced combat technology.
4. There are many frontiers between the civilizations. All of them are historical, religous and ideological.
4.1. Islam and West:
4.1.1. The most notorious one and probably the most important one. The Islam civilization is trying really hard to get close to the West monetary and influencial power. As many experts say and predict: "The next big conflict will be against Islam"
4.2. West and Russia:
4.2.1. This is a more ideological type one. Russia has been a socialist country since its revolution, and the West has always characterized to be a loyal follower of capitalism. Indeed the Cold War has taken a huge part in this separation.
4.3. EUA and Japan:
4.3.1. This conflict origins go all the way to WW2. Pearl Harbor attack and the nukes took apart this two countries. Also its huge cultural and respect to the others difference play a role.
4.4. Turkey, West and Islam:

4.4.1.1.1. Countries that because of certain culture affairs doesn't belong to a certain civilization. The most concrete example of this is Turkey, a country that because of its Muslim history and cultural alliance to Islam, has been rejected multiple times to join the European Union.
4.5. Velvet Curtain:
4.5.1. This imaginary line is one of the most impressive boundary. This line separates the Roman Catholics, with the Ortodox Christians. In one side we had the Renaissance and the wonders of Industrial Revolution. In the other hand, we have the less developed and the conflictive part of Europe, that, till today still suffer the failure of Soviet Union in keeping an empire together.
