In that case ... I still think this is a (Norse myth or Conan based?) fantasy RPG/strategy game. Province borders may not exist, but if you moved units in Clausewitz, they always had their fixed place within a province where they would stand/march through (and I often considered provinces to be a web of connected nodes for that reason).I guess you could replace that "parking spot" with a location (cities, dungeons, ruins ...), and instead of a province you have a terrain feature, like a forest or plains, which may stretch over several non-provinces. So you might have an "Enchanted Forest", consisting of three parts, which house two Elven cities and a cave of evil, for example.But I guess it would also work with space and having connected star systems.
