I've always been amused they called a country "Ire - Land", ie land of ire.

Looking for maps in Spanish for the kid, and came across this gem. How can you not love Italy and Siberia merging in the next half-century?

I like how the guy got to Latin America, tapped his chin for a moment trying to think of how Latin America might split, and then went "ah fuckit" and colored the entire continent brown.

I assume it's some sort of colony or protectorate of the French Republic.

French Guiana did some expanding.

The entirety of South America is still a single departement of France, though.

The good news is it looks like North and South Korea are reunited. The bad news is that it's because they've been colonized by Japan again.

I like that Africa and the Middle East's internal borders from the real-life continents were left in for some reason.

Origin of second-largest immigrant group per state.

It's funny that Indiana is the only thing breaking the India ring around Tennessee and Kentucky. Indiana whose name means "land of the Indians." :v:

I'm most surprised by Bhutan in some states. It led me on a wiki-dive where I learned that Bhutan (a country with a population of 700,000) apparently forced out about 100,000 people of Nepalese descent in the 90's and after spending years in refugee camps, most of them eventually resettled in the US. You learn something new every day.

I'm surprised there's so many Bhutanese in North Dakota, Vermont, and NH that there's more of them than Mexicans. I mean, granted, 'immigrants to North Dakota' is probably not a large number, but...
