That was more Sweden not demanding those territories.

They weren't doing anything with those, anyway. At one point they forgot they had Greenland lying around for several centuries on end.

 That picture also explains why german men always piss sitting, because if they'd pee like normal men the piss would ricochet on themselves

 They do the same thing with their walls too (design them to ricochet piss everywhere, not piss sitting on them).

A lot of Dutch toilets are built like this, too. Apparently it ties in with a proud Protestant tradition of inspecting your own poo.

I don't know about you guys but I inspect my poo each time. The one I just did 20 minutes ago was a touch too soft, and the color wasn't perfect. I blame the greasy sausages I ate. Overall 7/10.

As a Dutch person I grew up with such toilets. You don't really think about them all that much. However, it's somewhat complicated when you switch from plateau toilets to bowl toilets. Without Advanced Training, bowl toilets will have water splashing up onto your butt whenever you drop something. But now I'm glad I got a bowl toilet in my home. It's easier to keep clean. Nothing is worse than old French toilets, though.

I'm a little surprised to see Granada looped in with Mali but I guess I never really thought of it before. I'm also not fully versed in whether or not X was a real sphere. The biggest surprise to me, though, is the failure to include the Hanseatic trade sphere in Northern Europe. ComradeCosmobot fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jul 1, 2015 |

I'm also not fully versed in whether or not X was a real sphere. I think the Hanseatic sphere got dropped out because the map is supposed to be pre-13th century and the Hanseatic League wasn't formally declared until 1358 (though the trade sphere certainly existed long before). It's also lacking the north-south trade link of Scandinavia and II via the Rus et al. X I think was real - there was a lot of piracy in that region as I recall and you don't get pirates without trade. Abner Cadaver II fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Jul 1, 2015 |

Not really a map per se, but New Zealand is taking entries for what they should change their flag to, and some of them can definitely be considered politically loaded. https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/gallery/
