Countries and other places have physically defined borders so must surely be concrete rather than abstract. We may not often speak about touching a country but countries can still be reached, crossed, entered, flown over, bombed and so on.

Excuse the naivete of this question; but if I have my hands in the dirt in my garden, am I not touching my country, therefore making it concrete not abstract?
