Is this a contiguous connection between claimed territories (e.g. Antarctica) and islands part of the EU (e.g. Reunion's DOM, and French Polynesia's COM)?
Interesting, but as a seafarer kind of silly as the EEZ and 12 mile limits don't create any sort of contiguous existence.
The freedom of navigation and international waters make for some interesting viewing though.
Well yeah, but if this is the continent why the long legs to signify ownership? This justifiably confused me into thinking this was a political graphic incorrectly labeled as Europe instead of EU.
So I suppose this graphic really isn't showing anything at all, as it's neither politically or geographically accurate.
I think it's showing europe, and all the parts of the world countries from that continent still hold claim to. But weirdly with the sea between them and Europe also marked.
Guys, Europe is a continent, based on a tectonic plate or some shit, which partially includes Russia and Turkey.
But this graph is a mess because it somehow combines aspects of both geography and political affiliation.
It contains the geographical definition of the continent, and then it stops making sense. French Guyana is included because it's part of France. But Siberia isn't, despite being part of Russia.
And parts of Antarctica are included, despite not being part of any country at all.
You should put the whole of Russia. Siberia, Kamchatka etc were colonised by europeans (Russians) and their polulations were replaced with ethnic slavs.

That use of blue tho. I thought it was ocean currents for a bit.
Oops, UK shouldn't be in there 😉
Look here gammon, we only left the EU. We didn't move the Island to a different continent.
Have you tried?

The long legs are mostly French territories
Neither should Russia and a whole other things by that measure
Or the whole of Russia and Turkey.

Actually based on the logic used here, whole Russia should have been marked.
The Russia west of Urals is in Europe, east of Urals is Asia.
If you're gonna include fucking parts of Antarctica because some eurocunts have claimed area there, surely the Asian side of Russia should be too
Chose one OP: or just paint continental Europe or land that belongs to European countries.
OP: Yes (does neither of both).
Bless France
Why isn't Russia in its entirety marked as blue though?
because half (or most) of russia is in asia
Most of Denmark is in North America
Antarctica isn't in Europe either
I would say it shouldn't be marked at all.
Russia is not a country, it is a state of mind.
Fuck it, turkey is Europe just because it's more aesthetically pleasing
Yeah half of turkey is continental Europe. But i get what you are saying because he includes enclaves it should only be EU countries.
