    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.

        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.
