chrisp65 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Probably also correct, but not the answer I was looking for. I’ll drop the answer here...

And some really big economies that are such tiny countries. Like GB and Italy. Not sure why Norway is listed smaller than it is mind, but I guess it's definition of land and islands. Having antarctica there also seems a bit weird. Isn't land basically a term used for geological surfaces that doesn't include water? I thought antarctica was more or less ice.

If my memory of year nine Geography stands up to scrutiny, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Really interesting map. I felt a bit ignorant for not realising how small Greece was. Having now Googled it and seen their population is less than 11m I feel completely clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 A bolitical map, so I've put it in spoiler tags for those who aren't interested (apologies, but I found it interesting, and maybe somebody else might): Spoiler A map of where the postwar anticommunist extermination programs happened around the world, how long they lasted, and roughly how many died. The massacre in Indonesia - also the subject of the brilliant documentary 'The Act Of Killing', which you might have seen/heard of - was so enormous, and yet remains very little known in this country (needless to say, our government's role appears to have been to fund, arm, support and cover up the massacre). The map comes from Vincent Bevins' book 'The Jakarta Method': https://twitter.com/Vinncent/status/1264220866340151296 If you want a challenge, there is one big error on the map; can you find it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there’s been a recent change, the most popular soft drink there is Kinnie. It’s awesome, a bit like Coke, but with actual identifiable tastes of things in it. If ever you’ve been to Malta and seen the dead cats, the dead rabbits, plastic pollution, and chips all floating gently in the harbour on sea water That’s slightly psychedelic with a sheen of petrol, and you’ve thought to yourself ‘I wonder what that tastes like?’. Kinnie. (It’s actually really nice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by chunks of landmass, the other foreign territories are marked the same way with the parent nation shown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
