Sorry for shitty quality, but I had to compress to comply with 1mb maximum file size

At least China is on “positive color” but man, we have the classic US-Western Europe-Commonwealth in “positive color” and 2/3rds of Africa and Eurasia in “negative color”

    It’s effectively a comparison of whether 80 units of your currency is worth more or less than 1 USD.

    I agree, it’s a strange metric. Japan’s unit of currency (the yen) uses the base unit effectively as the U.S. uses cents (divisions below the yen were abolished in U.S. occupation)

      But that doesn’t matter because the starting metric of one currency has no obligation to be the same as another… they’re just different “units” like how 1000 meters is 1km, different units but technically the same value.

      It’s arbitrary is what I’m saying.
