30 Maps With Interesting Facts That Reveal A Ton About The World Around Us

În Romania we are taught English since kindergarten, the in middle school we start learning either French or German as mandatory second language. We have to speak basic English to pass our highschool graduation exam and we need at least basic English to get a lower type of job (the level increases depending on the job.) lots of Romanians either speak German, Italian or Spanish due to their roots and places they've emigrated to so I'm VERY curious about these results.

You can literally see how far the Vikings got

do these people think they are so handsome and attractive to the gay persons that they want to bother them or somthing???

Proud of the UK, for once :)

Totally useless question! LGBT is now 2SLGBTQQIPAA+, in which P stands for POC – people of color!!! 🤪🙄 CBC for kids posted a video on TouTube, check it out for yourselves if you don't believe me 😉 So, the acronym encompasses so much that it became meaningless! But not many people all over the world know any of that! Also, please take a look at both this dude masquerading as a lady and the trans-woman commenting on her YouTube channel. They are both LGBT, right? How would you answer the question after seeing that? Would it be that bad if you didn't want a violent dude with a criminal record – masquerading as a woman, on top of everything else! – next door?! 🤨 https://youtu.be/21xqLKWKMrQ?si=SeyxQjfku9oaBArC

Hmm, interesting. The area that is mostly former Communist countries is far less accepting of LGBT people than the western part of Europe. Kinda weird how young LGBT people in the west have a bizarre obsession with Communism. Oh, wait, not weird at all once you realize they are no longer taught history in school.

I work in HE in the UK and there is absolutely data on this.

Pengõ sounds so cute though

Of course this map is biased, because if you need 10 times longer to earn a million, but your living costs are only a tenth, then you are just as rich.

Germany is out of date with their lets close nuclear power plants and use coal because nuclear is so evil s**t.

Interesting fact in Hungarian we call Croatia ’Horvátország’ meaning ‘Horváth Country’

Sad really - An Android user /jk 🙃

Why don't people visit Poland?

Don't work long, work smart.

Oh French can speak English, they just don't want to speak it :)

This correlates with the BMI one

We have dedicated two islands for their use. Lesbos ad Mykonos/j.

Population change in percentage of population (the more the number the more people are there). No legend, because it's written on every country.

I can’t fathom Nigeria being large enough to sustainably house nearly 800 million people. That population density would be a nightmare.

The other map said that the biggest source of electricity in Germany is renewable sources, and here it's coal. I'm sure this is what we like to think vs. reality. 😅

highly skilled in what? As someone in the Netherlands once said "we have 6 million communication specialists and no one knows how to fix a tap"

Time to use a turkish Proxi

Illegal for men but legal for women? Perverts.

In a map like this, I'd expect the terms used to be 'personal name' and 'family name'. Therefore in the blue it would be personal name + family name. In Spain, it would be personal name + father's family name + mother's family name, and in Iceland, personal name + father's personal name.

If China start WW3, it's going to ruin their export economy.

I'm so glad there was a key on here, I thought the yellow areas were pirates.

We have a lot of international students, mainly because of the, in comparison, low costs of enrolling.

Interesting how places like Turkey have low rates of birth outside marriage but high teen pregnancy. Girls marry young.
