poor A's, Mets, White Sox, and probably some other teams

actually as a native of the Bay Area I'm always slightly surprised the Oakland teams never appear on these types of maps because they always seem pretty popular.

Also the color choice on this map suck because I have no idea which teams the pink in the mountains states, Florida, or the Carolinas refer to

There's the source, it's from 2014 so that explains some oddities (like the Astros being so small)

edit: areas where it's pink or grey that don't have their own teams almost always the Red Sox and Yankees, respectively.

largest amount of media attention so outside of any other specific regional market you're going to get 10% yankees fans being the dominant faction over all the 5% people liking other random teams

also in the absence of regional fandom you might as well pick a winner, or picking against a winner if the team is so dominant (yankees or patriots, gently caress em)

Yes yes, we all know that Mercator distorts, blah blah blah, familiar, well-trod ground, but I've made a big long specific list!

In real life:
Norway is smaller than Vietnam
Sweden is smaller than Cameroon
Finland is smaller than Republic of the Congo
Denmark is smaller than Dominican Republic
United Kingdom is smaller than Guinea
Ireland is smaller than Sierra Leone
Estonia is smaller than Costa Rica
Latvia is smaller than Sri Lanka

France is smaller than Kenya
Poland is smaller than Côte d'Ivoire
Czech Republic is smaller than UAE
Belarus is smaller than Guyana
Ukraine is smaller than South Sudan

This one is really weird, cuz wikipedia says Vietnam has a total 331,212 km2 while Norway has 385,203 km2 on their respective pages, but on the list of countries by area, Vietnam is 331,212 versus Norway's 323,802. I assume it's because of dependencies

My dad took me to see the Orioles play in 1992 right after they moved to Camden Yards. Interestingly enough, that game was the game where the movie "Dave" filmed the president throwing the first pitch scene. https://www.camdenchat.com/2014/5/1/5669112/orioles-camden-yards-movie-tv

I always pull for the Orioles even though it is often a painful experience.

I'd literally never heard of the baseball team, and on my second day of Jeopardy state birds was the final category and I didn't get it because I had no idea Baltimore Orioles was a thing hahahaa.

The crazy thing is that, even without Mercator distortion, Russia is still wider than the diameter of the Moon, and has roughly the same area as Pluto.

There's always a stats gotcha hiding behind these things. Usually it's a comparative thing, like some topic having 2% searches in some region instead of the average 1%.
Since the title isn't hiding something like that, it's probably a question of grouping sizes (if not outright misdirection). I'd imagine if "live action" or "hetero" were tags, they'd dominate everywhere.

Europe and the Middle East are the most disputed and fragmented regions of the world.

The Lesbian League and the Hentai Hegemony are the two biggest superpowers, the Ebony Empire united most of Africa but also has overseas possessions in the Caribbean, the Guiana Shield, and Papua New Guinea. The Anal rear end'ociation is the dominant power in the Middle East, covering Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan but also extending into Europe with Bulgaria, Germany, and a few others.

I'm pretty distrustful of demographic data on this subject, as few people will give it willingly to porn sites, which means they must rely on other tracking tools that I also don't trust much.
