An additional problem arises from Russia's sheer size. Geographers refer to the principle of distance decay to explain how increasing distances between places tend to reduce interactions among them. Because Russia is the world's largest country, distance is a significant factor in the relationships between the capital and outlying areas. Furthermore, Moscow lies in the far west of the giant country, half a world away from the shores of the Pacific. Not surprisingly, one of the most obstreperous Regions has been remote Primorskiy, the Region of Vladivostok.
