      I love weird infographic maps. Wonder why the areas have been chosen to be portrayed that way. There’s more border control between EU and USA than EU and LATAM.

      Western world is a weird concept anyway. All the different blues in wikipedia’s map are closer to a global community and a common culture than the map above.

      Even Africa and India are more connected to the rest of the world, maybe only some of those Asian countries, heavily authoritarian either by religion or just totalitarianism, are the exception

        Just to name one example, this very article we are commenting on is about South Korea, and I don’t see them on that map.

        … Look at the map again.
