Answer 1

I and III

Step-by-step explanation:

If the state were compact, it would be easy to use a unitary system to govern from a central capital city.

Regional differences should be relatively small, so it would be unlikely that the state would have to form a confederate system of government.

II is wrong. If the state is compact, it should be easy to govern from a central location

IV is wrong. If the state is compact, the centripetal forces should be stronger than the centrifugal forces.

Poland is a compact state with a unitary form of central government located in Warsaw and 16 provinces or administrative divisions.
