Also, goodbye Bangladesh.

If that's the Shandong peninsula that's still there as an island then yeah you'll hit the densest populated part of China (that province alone has 100 million people).

It's the Yellow, Yangtze and Ganges rivers that are flooded there, i.e. some of the most populated parts of the entire world. I'm actually really surprised they're saying it's only like 800 million. edit: like look-  the flooded areas correlate pretty much perfectly with where there are the most people. Which isn't surprising considering those river valleys are probably the most fertile areas I guess Koramei fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Nov 9, 2014 |

I love how the mapmakers choose to just paint over Ethiopia and Western Africa as completely Muslim. The former is two thirds Christian, and afaik the southern coast of western Africa should have a lot of Christians as well. VerdantSquire fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Nov 9, 2014 |

Waterworld bothers me. In order to cover the surface of the earth in that much water, you would need to triple the combined volume of water in the ground, on the surface already, or in the atmosphere of the entire planet. EDIT:Content

That's the North China Plain and Yangtze Delta flooded. Beaten I know but at least I can give the right names for those geographical features. They are indeed the two most densely populated regions of China. I didn't realize the North China Plain was that low that far inland.

Unfortunately, nothing quite so interesting. It's the "Moon Treaty" of 1979, where the signatories officially declared all stellar bodies in the solar system outside of the Earth the property of the international community. Dark blue are states that both signed and ratified, light blue are states that only signed. Unsurprisingly, nobody who had a significant space program in 1979 even bothered.

The command module from Apollo 11 at least knocked the flag over with its exhaust as it ascended. Additionally the flags should be bleached white by now due to solar radiation obliterating the pigments.
