Elongated states (or countries, same thing) are states with a very long and narrow body. The best example is Chile. But there are other smaller ones like Malawi, Gambia, and eâ¦ven Italy.
The boundaries of a country and the shape of the land which it encompasses can present problems or it can help to unify the nation. The shape or morphology of most countries can be divided into five main categories: compact, fragmented, elongated, perforated, and protruded. Compact.
