“Daily Educational Maps”: 40 Interesting And Informative Maps That Might Change The Way You Look At The World Forever
InterviewDo you remember the days of using physical maps on road trips? Dad's in the driver's seat yelling as mom's in the passenger seat frantically searching the map for the exit we need to take and- oh! We missed it already! Having apps like Google maps in the palm of our hands has made our lives so much easier (and road trips so much more pleasant). Within seconds, we can check how many miles there are between Texas and Lithuania and Taiwan. Although, I wouldn't recommend making that journey a road trip.
Thanks to one popular Instagram account, maps on our phones can now teach us much more than just distance and directions. Map Central is an Instagram page with over 130k followers that “provides a full perspective of our world” through sharing daily educational maps. These graphics are no simple maps; they share facts about countries’ demographics, information about climate change, examine population shifts and trends, compare countries by size and population and much more. We’ve gathered some of our favorite maps from the page for you to enjoy below, as well as an interview with the creator of Map Central.

Tax billionaires out of existence, and while we're at it, transfer the excessive assets that they have into the hands of the workers
This is a good example of why our Senate is not representational. With only two Senators per state, the underpopulated areas get far more of a say than the highly populated areas.

The plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was highjacked, then re-highjacked by the passengers who casted a vote upon the decision to try to gain back control. Sadly, in the process, all of the passengers passed, but they saved so may people lives.
Not exactly a surprise - 2050 is when it is currently predicted the planet will hit the maximum population sustainable. Yet look at what we are doing to it now. 😢
So right. Thats why you can find peace outdside Athens and Thessaloniki. Think of the possibilities.
Nothing is black or white. The laws are very detailed with some on a nation by nation basis.my paternal grandparents & father are Dutch/EU citizens. My maternal grandparents & mother are US & Dutch/EU. As am I. I don’t have US consular representation in the EU as an American, because I have freedom of movement as Dutch. In the US, I have all freedoms of an American with representation and Dutch consular representation. I had to register for Selective Service in the US, but I wouldn’t be drafted if it came to that. I can only enter/exit US or EU on one passport. I’ve made that mistake. I left US on US passport via British Air to Schipol w/layover in London. Entering Netherlands I used Dutch passport. Exited with my US passport in Netherlands with no issue. Upon landing in San Francisco, automatic held me for half a day to verify my multiple citizenship because I had no entry stamp into EU/Netherlands.
I'd say most of Europe is a bit more complicated than one or the other. For example, In the UK, if you were born while your parents were on a visit, you would not be given citizenship. However if at least one of your parents were here on a working visa, you would most likely be given a British birth certificate, giving you entitlement to a UK passport (but not your parents). The EU made thing a little more complicated with the whole open borders thing meaning some people would qualify just by being born there, whereas others would not.
Blue countries: colonizers vastly outnumber indigenous people. Red countries: indigenous people vastly outnumber colonizers/immigrants.
Colonizers are long dead. The current population have every legitimacy to the land.

It actually is in the UK. A Bill, passed by the House of Lords on Apr 28, has received Royal Ascent formally acknowledging British Sign Language as an official language in the UK. Not surprising that something THAT recent isn't here though.
And the sad part is that 2.6 trillion is mostly three countries inside Africa.
