    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.

    not “south east”.

    Y’know, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and friends. Have you never heard it grouped that way?

      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.
