^Doesn't seem legit.

For starters: the occupied bit of Cyprus is on the level of South Korea, Greece and all those other plastic surgery #1 countries? That bit is more likely to be in the black part of things.

Kosovo looks funny too. But at least they got that dreadful dictatorship of Montenegro right

I would've thought that the Democratic Republic of the Congo at least would merit being a "very serious situation".

 

[warpus]

Yeah, I have no idea what criteria they use. I found some odd things on the map as well - none of the things you bring up mind you, but.. it's a map by reporters without borders, so it should be possible to figure out what criteria they use here.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

It's based on some dumb survey actually. Can't be arsed to look for it again tho, go to /r/dataisbeautiful front page to find it.

Dirty Diesel

Europe's nitrogen dioxide emissions in 2008 as seen from an ozone measuring instrument on a satellite

Is that a shipping route that cuts across the bay of Biscay and around the south of Spain?

Is that a shipping route that cuts across the bay of Biscay and around the south of Spain?

Well, considering cars don't tend to drive in the ocean, most probably. Seems an unlikely airplane route too.


Glad to see I live in the hotspot.

 

[madviking]

interesting to see moscow's footprint to be much worse than sankt peterburg's

 

[Kyriakos]

And that England, too
(although i suspect that overall the map shows Germany to be more of the core of the trade).

Business as usual in EU IV

It seems Paradox finally realised that most people only care about the borders of the Byzantine Empire looking good

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I need to start playing EUIV again, any suggestions on which nation should I pick and create awesome borders (for the love of god, dont give me a power, give me someone challenging).

 

[Arakhor]

Kyriakos would probably marry you if you chose Konstantinos's Byzantium.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I don't like Byzantium. I'd rather play with the Turks. Better a Turkish Fez than a Greek whateveryouguyswear

 

[Kyriakos]

:\

Not the turks, man, choose the ustase instead

Most people here just wear this light gear, in casual walks at least.

I never leave the house without it, or a hoplon.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Ustashe headgear was pretty nice. But I prefer the SS Handschar. They had Fezes in various colors (german grey, red and possibly SS Dot 44 camo) and they had the skull and bones and eagle/swastika on them...You really cant go beyond that without looking overly edgy.

Spoiler :

 

[Kyriakos]

^ A Sfez?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Yes, there was a rather large SS unit comprised of Bosniaks. They were considered German by the following logic Bosniaks = Muslim Croats --> Croats = Germanics. I tried finding an original fez, but its nearly impossible.13th Mountain SS Handschar Division

 

[JohannaK]

They all look less Balkan and better fed than you do.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

The Germans fed their troops well.
