The link between dampness and rheumatism is not really causal in the sense of living in damp areas means you are more likely to get joint inflammation. There may be some link between reduced atmospheric pressure (and therefore a higher chance of precipitation) and flare ups of te condition, but it is not like that dampness really causes it.
This picture really does not capture it, you need to go to the Guardian interactive tool that shows bird migrations over the year.
The bridge bids on the compass link way back in time.
Satirical map of Ireland from WW2 to deter invaders.
What happened to using Eire?
This is where it came from. If I was to guess it it is the map plotting library they use, which appears to by python, perhaps in pandas or ploty. I can tell you that the variation in country names is a right hassle when doing these things.
That would be inconsistent in a different way: every other country has it's name in English.
It is probably that.
Given that the only country broken down into subnational units (other than samples) is the UK it would suggest the author is familiar with the area, and could have labelled us consistently.

That is a deliberate change on the map from the Persian Gulf.
edit: Greater Greece also fails to include Cyprus.
edit edit: and Crete, which is already part of Greece, but that one can be forgiven because it’s off the edge of the map.

Play with me.
Well, what does the "Pal" map look like?
I cannot find it.

What buttons? It's a static image.
I have to admit I do not know what is going on. If I had to guess they changed web framework sometime between 2022 and today and the interactive chart was a casualty.
In trying and failing to hunt down either an interactive version or the answer to Erika's question I found this:
