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

    • OP: Yes (does neither of both).

    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.

          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.
