Russia is there, maybe you could say Mongolia too.
The near east and middle east are kinda there. Like Arabian peninsula seems
My point regarding south east Asia is that it's not just the south-east, it's the all south Asia, east Asia that are missing. (And also naturally the south east)
It's very euro centric to dedicate two circles exclusively to representing the Mediterranean but to leave India and China off, and Africa dwarfed.
I mean one of those circles does absolutely nothing but add a bit of Cape and a bit of Horn to Africa, and it looks about the right size to me - smaller than Asia, bigger than everything else.
India isn't really missing so much as not distinguished, but also that.
Every island is missing, starting by size with Greenland.
Northern Canada is pointed instead of concave with Hudson's Bay. Antarctica is also missing but that counts more as a stylistic choice because it's so frequently done.
I love this. I'm guessing there's a better way to choose circles, though.
Why have one for the Great Australian Bight? Just so it doesn't end up being an entire circle? That's kind of a missed opportunity to do a Philippine Sea circle and include SEA.
Edit: What about one for each continent, a couple for the Indian ocean, and then a big Pacific Ocean one that takes out of Australia, East Asia (forming SEA) and the two in America?
Maps without New Zealand
Middle-Earth is fictional. Everyone knows that.
:(
:(
Honestly this one leaves out more than it leaves in.

I was going to suggest Tassie is also classically missing but the entirety of SE Asia isn't on this one
Pattern recognition is so weird
Only 10 circles and it's already quite close
And the big one that's dead center is mostly useless
Yeah! It literally just adds a bit of Cape and Horn to Africa. Without it you'd have a nice circle for the 3 old world continents.
And the left one may well be the physical circle from a moon impact.
Africa needs to be enlarged quite a bit and there’s a whole continent missing. Not bad otherwise.
The entire southeast Asia, which makes up maybe half the majority of the world population disappeared.
It was the first thing I noticed missing too, but it's "only" 0.7 billion people.
It probably should be integrated into Australia somehow, to keep circle count low.
I would say it's east Asia and South Asia that are missing, not "south east". It's like 3 billion isn't it?
Uhh, so you're reading that all as Persia, Russia and Mongolia, then?
Yeah, India and China are each over a billion, and then with SE Asia it could easily be 3.5. We're at eight, so that's not quite half, but it's close.
Y'know, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and friends. Have you never heard it grouped that way?

can you, as a perception exercise, try to see some of the other missing territories and list them in a reply?

A more minimalist world map, to paraphrase a 1970s TV scientist, would be one blue pixel

my own attempt at it
as can be seen with this diagram, i prefer straight lines over circles when it comes to geopolitics
also, i'm sorry if this offends somebody somehow
Can't believe you forgot New Zealand smh
Is New Zealand not part of Oceania?
When you have just enough resolution for Australia, you don’t really have the option to include smaller details.
hello from ireland
hello?
Mandela effect. Here are so many people who seam to remember all these islands
And their former colonies
New Zealand missing again!
Needs a couple of more circles in there to make India and Southeast Asia pop out.
I would also add one more to NA to make it as wide as it should be. It's pretty skinny here.

Missing the 5th largest continent...
The circles ought to wrap around the edges.
Weird how you can see it
In the end, we really are all just the Brady Bunch
