Some of the borders don't make sense.

Soul Society didn't care about other cultures. Their culture is the dominant.
People were forced to migrate to other parts of the world.
It's really hard to have a rebellion against something you could not see for the first hundred years. And consequences of rebellion is quite harsh 12 division Capt. maximum-security prison.
Also if you remember the first chapter's of the story. Soul reaper's are able to wipe people's memory clean and put new memorys in their place. "You always live on a farm with your family."

i get that but to an outside force like the soul society the borders themselves don't make sense
the divide between 3rd and 6th is in the middle of eastern europe and not say on a landform like the urals which are pushed much further into 13
the 10 and 15 border is based around a border which technically doesn't have any geographic presence other than a small section of the Rio Grande
the area around the 6th 5th and 9th divide is all the steppes with no real geographic landmarks for divisible areas aside from mountainous regions further south than you put the border
the 1st district is just so small in comparison both by possible population and resources that i don't understand its makeup
10th division is also fucking massive with both the second and the 4th largest countries in the world combined
the inclusion of greece into the 5th district doesn't make sense either because the bosphorous strait into the Black sea is a perfect divider
so when you say this map is not based on population, cultural identities (i thought this was possible), then its gotta be divided by area and geography in order to make sense to a foreign nation like the soul society

Soul reaper's do not have to worry about geography and since they can teleport to whatever country they want they can basically appear inside the White House. So they don't have to worry about things that humans have to.
Also I was going to put in something where the soul Society was following Gandhian economics focused on the need for economic self-sufficiency at the village level. Cutting the communication between people without rapid communication and exchange ideas occurring.
Several generations later they would easily be able to control humans like they were guarding Angels that prevent humanity from destroying itself which in truth they did in this world.
Also while breaking down their cultural and political ideologies through brainwashing and keeping people separate.
I was also going to incorporate like a village lottery every two decades where 100 people are chosen to be sent to different villages to keep genetic diversity alive.
If you remember kon is in artificial soul that can go in to bodies artificial or not giving them Hercules strength levels which could easily be placed inside villages. artificial bodies can live for centuries becoming the village spiritual and de facto leader after several generations being seen as being blessed by the soul king. Also they would make excellent security force roaming the world as wonders making sure people remain where they are.
The first division is the home of the de facto head of this world government. They have to worry about administrating law throughout the rest of the world as well as the soul Society. So they control the least amount of land.
Also soul reaper's have to patrol the soul Society as well so yes the divisions would be increased in size. Which would be easily done after a few hundred years of brainwashed humans coming to the soul Society and trying to become guardian angels of the world of the living so they could watch over their families and friends.

this is wonderful and thank you for the new information but back to the original question of why the world was divided this way

Group selected by the Central 46 just divided up the world with the help of a modern-day map.
