I think that's been posted here before. I still think that highest motorcycle deaths is actually a Good Thing.

I'm quite alarmed at Washington state. Does bestiality neccesarily mean actually riding animals, or would it count stuff like wanking a dog, or fingering a bird of paradise?

 

[choxorn]

I don't know, but it might just be labelled that because of that one guy who died after having sex with a horse.

German "Länderfinanzausgleich" or equalization payments between states.

Green states are givers, red states are takers. Berlin is by a long shot the biggest recipient.

Why is Russia shown owning half of China?

(as an aside, I've never liked that base map. The colours hurt my eyes)

Well, they got to annex the Three Provinces and Outer Mongoria at the Treaty of Portsmouth. Xinjiang and Inner Mongoria were occupied after the Russians started to worry about the security of their sphere of influence there because of the civil war.

Tibet is, theoretically, under a British protectorate, but the British have had a cock of a time enforcing their little Younghusband treaty.
