Specifically: for the KH type I and II do not represent "homeland" and "expansion", but "homeland - agoge" and "homeland - other". Type II does not represent "homeland - democracy" as many people assume: popular tyrannies and the like are also type II.

Military oligarchies are not the same as the Agoge. The Agoge represents a dramatic militarization of society. The KH type I government can be instituted in those provinces that already had some elements of the agoge in place (communal barracks in Crete, a helot-like underclass in Thessaly and Byzantion). I am less sure why Athens, Taras and Thermon were made homeland provinces, though.
