Not necessarily Muslim majority, but areas with a lot of Muslims or a Muslim ruled principality. I think the one on the middle is the territory of the Nizam of Hyderabad, which was Hindu majority but after independence tried to become an independent state under Muslim rule.

Ulvino posted:What's the deal with "Dinia" anyway? Is it one of those Lucknow/Nucklao things? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinia In fact it's where that map came from. The guy who came up with it is the same who coined up the name Pakistan. Given his background I'd guess the anagram Dinia was a way to get rid of the Hindu root in India's name.

Looks like it, I was just wondering if it was merely a play on words or if the name had some concrete meaning like the Pakistan acronym.

I was born and raised in scorching orange hellscape and daydream about escaping to the cool, pleasant climes of northern Scotland Hell I’d take Ontario weather back. Ubiquitous warm sunshine loses its appeal when its... ubiquitous. I’m also a weirdo who probably has reverse SAD

France is a big country, and the north is firmly in the lovely dreary (though temperate) North Sea zone. e: if I had to choose I'd definitely prefer that over the American Southwest, which I assume is only fit for human habitation due to air conditioning. The perfect combination for me would be mild temperatures + lots of sunshine, but I don't think it exists. I haven't seen the sun since October.

On the other hand, we had a whole morning of sun in the Netherlands yesterday. We had sun a couple of times last week too. People tend to focus on rainy days and complain about them, but even over here, if you actually go count the days in a year, it turns out that somewhere between a half and two thirds of the days in a year are reasonably nice to very nice.

I'm not normally one to complain about the weather, but this winter has been dire. I'd prefer cold and dry over the rainy non-freezing weather we've been having.

 This is the Wadi Halfa Salient, which Google doesn’t think is disputed, unlike its famous siblings Hala’ib Triangle and Bir Tawil. The salient predates Lake Nasser/Lake Nubia and made more sense when it wasn’t underwater.

Complaining about the weather being mildly unpleasant at times is an ancient hobby in such places. Places with actual constantly miserable weather of any kind tend to be filled with people who are completely used to it and see nothing weird about going out in a shirt when the lake has frozen over or going for a walk in 30 degree heat.
