  [spoiler alert] Try finding Canada

  Since the creation of that map Canada and Denmark have gained a border (Hans Island). That barely registers on any traditional map but would dramatically rearrange this.

  EDIT: Or maybe it wouldn’t? I don’t see Russia’s border with Lithuania and Poland reflected (due to Kaliningrad) so maybe only the “main” part of a country is considered?

  This is super cool. I'd love to see it in a vintage style like that of old T-O maps!

  I really like this and may have to try to make a poster.
