Comment on Topologist's Map of the Worldparent

Comments

Oh! They included Morocco but not the United Kingdom. an interesting editorial decision.

Anecdote time: A few years ago we made a math exposition and we wanted to show something about the Four Color Theorem. We were advice to not use a real map, because each country has their own claims and somebody somewhere may complain.

They included Morocco but not the United Kingdom

Yes that confused me too. If they included Morocco, then France should border Brazil and Suriname.
