Philiphines is somewhat like Greece. Is a Mediterranean country. Ciprus is the country more similar to USA. The Caspian sea is the area of the world more similar to Lake Michigan. Half of Michigan is underwater. Michigan is a peninsula, like Spain, Italy, Florida or Greece. The Vikings renamed Eboracum to Jorvik, with means wild boar creek. New York means "New Wild Boar Creek".

The Saxons called Eboracum Eoforwic, which the Norse couldn't pronounce so they called it Jorvik.

Is there a roller coaster in Greenland, or is it being counted as part of Denmark in this map? Finding it hard to find the answer on Google because there are apparently multiple theme parks and roller coasters called "Greenland" across the globe.

There’s no way that Greenland has a rollercoaster, but the mapmaker is inconsistent, e.g. with the treatment of Puerto Rico. Content:

I'm going to trust this interactive map more, which claims that Greenland does not have a roller coaster, and for what else is worth neither does Madagascar.

It’s quite the accomplishment that Mexico’s dong isn’t the highlight of this map. I refer, of course, to Australia’s Dutch angle.
