That's a really good map because there is exactly one concept of "race" in the world and it's also easily translatable into every language.

Count Roland posted:Maps people, christ. Unfortunately, I can't find it right now, but the last time this was posted, someone posted an article about that map that said that the question wasn't phrased the same way in every country. For instance, in India, for that question they specifically said a Pakistani neighbor rather than a neighbor of a different race.

Indeed, the coureurs des bois had mostly positive relations* with Natives, because coercion was rather hard when you're a half-dozen dudes around hundreds of locals. A recurring theme of New France is that instead of Natives receiving the revelation of True Religion and assimilating into European culture, Frenchmen were adopting into the local society with startling ease and marrying Sauvageonnes, to varying degrees of acceptance from the state and church. Of course, all that is why there is a Métis people still in the Prairies. (Sapré crinqué de Louis Riel.) *That said, the trade in itself caused severe disruption of local economy, but that happened at an economic level removed from personal interaction. And yes, the middle coasts of France, Normandy in the North and Poitou on the Atlantic, along with Île-de-France, were the main sources of colons. My own direct line ancestor was from La Rochelle.

The Belgian posted:Politically loaded because Catalunya is indicated as part of spain? Mercator, silly if for no other reason than you're wasting two thirds of your map area. Also Catalunya is rendered in its native catalá, but is a region rather than a city even if you believe it rightly Spanish (the track is in an outskirt of Barcelona) - bonus for it being the Spanish Grand Prix with Valencia being the European. Yas Marina also breaks the naming pattern (Abu Dhabi). And it's technically a list of 2012 season circuits, not all accredited Formula 1 circuits. Oh. OH. Cheap joke pattern. Uh. Politically loaded because it shows Quebec as being part of Canada? v  v

I didn't see the date on it. In that case maybe it's a best guess of where Germany actually is because half of it was about a billion states the size of a house.

The Métis of Canada are an interesting bunch. The descendants of fur trappers and indigenous people by the late 18th century they had developed a unique culture apart from both white and aboriginal identity. Semi-nomadic, they lived by hunting and trading across the Great Plains and boreal forests of central Canada, often living in their own Métis villages and generally speaking French. In the 19th century they joined with various First Nations to oppose colonization of their homeland by Anglo-Canadian settlers, and were defeated in a series of conflicts that saw their leaders jailed or hanged. Today they are recognized by the Canadian government as an indigenous people.  The Red River basin, the historical homeland of the Métis people and primary conduit for their trade.  As stock of buffalo and other game declined and Anglo-settlers dispossessed them of traditional lands, the Métis moved west. Some settled in parts of the U.S. Great Plains, but denied recognition of their identity most eventually assimilated into either local Indian tribes or white society. Today most existing Métis communities are in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

I love how media markets are split up. Idaho is split into five of them, but there's one media market for the entire greater NYC area. I understand that the reasons for this have to do with the physical limits of broadcasting terrestrial TV in mountainous areas, but still.

It has more to do with the fact that TV broadcasts go a decent way, and radio broadcasts even more so, and media markets' primary function is to avoid interference. You simply can't meaningfully split up the NYC broadcast market even though it covers a full 6.5% of the country's population Also nearly all of those media markets that are in Idaho at all are land area wise about the same size or bigger than the NYC metro.
