^^^ wtf, put a NMS tag on that. Liechtenstein and San Marino didn't make the cut, but Monaco gets a huge chunk of France, huh. Morocco conquers Melilla and Ceuta, and takes Gibraltar to add a twist of ironic hypocrisy.

 I was just sent this as an "Economic Map of Europe". The map part is a bit questionable I guess, but its a complete contrast of the Brasil map as a very nice way of visually displaying the data though.

The first Icelandic mass migrations to the Americas in the early 1800s were primarily to Utah (Mormon converts) and to Brazil. Almost all the Icelandic Brazilian emigrants moved to the German south because as Danish colonial subjects many of them spoke Danish which is basically just slurred German. Later waves of migration were to places a bit further north with the vast majority of West -Icelanders ending up in "New Iceland" in Manitoba with a few pockets in the Scandinavian settlements in Minnesota and the Dakotas.

Petanque posted:Switzerland's name needs to be in like three other languages See also: Belgique as the (sole) native name for Belgium I think it's low-key some sort of French supremacist map, disregarding the more obvious pro-Irish agenda e: also funny that they did add Eire to Ireland when Irish is only spoken daily by a tiny part of the population:  e2: not to cast aspersions but I think this obvious joke map might not be 100% accurate Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Feb 2, 2023 |

The Irish figure seems extraordinarily high for a country with a population comparable to that of Finland. They even seem to be outcompeting Austria and Denmark, which are both wealthy countries that are larger population-wise (especially Austria). Is this really accurate?

Ireland's GDP is always overstated relative to GNP because of how many companies are headquartered there for tax treatment. Like, 100% of Apple's European activity counts to Ireland, then spread that over every American company.

Ras Het posted:Not sure if this is politically loaded but it's aesthetically horrible It wouldn't be too bad of a map if it were about European ancestries exclusively. As is, I'm almost certain that the 'Others' category should rightfully cover more of Brazil, especially in regions like the Northeast where a large part of the population is of predominantly African descent. I don't know how they got the data, and if it's based on the census or not. I suppose that's the politically-loaded part. e: I guess I was wrong, according to Wikipedia African ancestry makes up only 27% of the total in Northeast Brazil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Region,_Brazil#Demographics I did not know that, I assumed it would be higher than that.

Saw a chart from maybe the FT the other day saying Irish GDP was way up over the last few years but household consumption is basically flat. The GDP number is very made up

I always found it interesting that the English were able to so thoroughly impose their language on Ireland, but not e.g. their religion (after the Reformation) or sense of identity.

A couple of my greatt grandfather's brothers (Danes) emigrated to Winnipeg in the 1920s. Both married, neither had kids, but some years ago I established contact with a woman whose father was the adopted son of one of the brothers, I think making her my step-cousin once removed. I've noticed the Icelandic presence before, but I don't know if it contributed to them choosing that place to settle (cousin doesn't know either).

I always found it interesting that the English were able to so thoroughly impose their language on Ireland, but not e.g. their religion (after the Reformation) or sense of identity. Basically, the language is useful in a way identity and religion is not. You gotta speak English to understand the guys in charge, so you gotta be at least bilingual. And if you and everyone is speaking English anyway, you might as well just use that instead of having a second language that only your people understand. You see it in immigrant populations too, Italian American is a thing for example, but they don't speak Italian. It's not universal, but in many cases, minority languages die because they are strictly less useful than the dominant language.
