The Earth that does not exist

     This is a wonderful, but false map of much of the world . First, it is not all inclusive (most of Asia is missing). Second, it is a projection that makes the land at the equator a different size than it really is in comparison to others. Third, countries do not come in pastel colors. They are mainly in greens, browns and beige as seen from space. Lastly, they do not have actual borders except by governmental decree. Sure, we like the nationalism that comes with borders, but if based on land features Montana and Alberta Canada should be together, for example. Historically, Europe is all one place as they have traded people and ideology back and forth.  We are good at dividing things up.
