From what I remember, half the country prefers rugby and the other half prefers Aussie football, so Cricket becomes the consensus sport as it's everybody's second favourite.

 Buddhist majority regions in Russia.  Ethnic majorities in the 1897 Russian census. What I find most interesting here is the extent of Ukrainian majority areas well beyond Soviet/modern Ukraine's administrative borders. I haven't really found out what's the history there. From what I've gathered, ethnic identity/language use has been quite fluid in that area. And yes, there's was a Ukrainian majority near modern Vladivostok in the Far East.  Crimean Tatar's in Crimea before deportation in 1939 and after in 2001. What is missing here is the situation between 1945-1991, when over 90% of them lived in other parts of the USSR.  Fertility rate in India by district. That's some major variation right there.

I was reading a book called Moneyland about how tax havens literally enable wealthy people to act like pirates, swooping in and taking wealth and hiding it beyond the reach of any lawman, and how it rots the rest of the entire premise of rule of law. I was looking for a map of relative corruption of police forces across the UK to see how child-abuse-covering-up tax shelter Jersey rates, and I found this:  The source. One unit, solely as the result of English conquest and domination over Ireland.

Ras Het posted:Finland seems to have many places that are called something island that actually aren't even remotely islands. Well I can't think of anything other than Tammisaari (a town on a peninsula) and Vuosaari (a district of Helsinki) now but I'm sure there are more Tammisaari is weird because the Swedish name is correct. Anyway it's moot because it hasn't existed since 2009 lmao.

It’s shopped as gently caress and the best example of that is perhaps the identical rocks in the mist on both the left and right cascade.

I like how the underlying map is already like 3600 pixels wide, but then resized to be four times bigger making each pixel 4x4.

Yeah O.K. I was just going to let it stand because it’s smaller than most inlined MP4s, but the sheer megapixels (one hundred and thirteen of them) may be an issue. e: “There have been some questions about the names of states such as Iowa and Lumbee, among others. For states where either the waterway had already namesaked a city (such as Des Moines) or the waterway had a name that I did not like (such as Pee Dee or Cape Fear), I changed the name of the state to something else.” Platystemon fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Sep 9, 2020 |

yeah the renaming and river delineations seem to be kind of arbitrary 80% of the appalachicola should be the chattahooche. it's not clear why the alabama watershed includes the distinct tombigbee river. why the detroit river and not the rouge river?

Cowards, could have named Comancheria "Colorado 2" instead. It's the longest river contained solely within the state of Texas, after all.
