        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.

        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

    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.

    • Chose one OP: or just paint continental Europe or land that belongs to European countries.

    • OP: Yes (does neither of both).

      I would say it shouldn’t be marked at all.

      Russia is not a country, it is a state of mind.

    You should put the whole of Russia. Siberia, Kamchatka etc were colonised by europeans (Russians) and their polulations were replaced with ethnic slavs.
