Every American shipwreck?
https://wrecks.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/viewer/
Seems to include only non-military vessels, but cites u-boat cargo/transport victims. I thought it was only listings in US territorial waters, but it includes Haiti and the DR but not Jamaica or Cuba, so how complete, I don't know.

Once went to the historical town Abraham Lincoln grew up in in Illinois and they stated "this was once larger than Chicago".
Completely different scale of course, but you kind of get the same thing happening from when people that grew up in farming communities that have been taken over by large cities/suburbs. My grandma went to this one school one of 40 graduates that was farming area west of Indianapolis. It's now become an Indianapolis suburb and all traces of what it was when she was little is gone.

I agree with that map. Alexander the Great was Greek, not (FYRO/Northern) Macedonian.

It's not massive, tbf
But why does this always have to be about boosting the size of somewhere?
Why not cut someplace down to size a bit more ... like Greenland?

Putin has a mildly higher opinion in Europe than Orban does. Outsiders think more of the French President than the French do, although probably not surprising and viewed through an EU lens. Czechs think little of Merkel.
The map is hurt however by not charting the poll in so many central and eastern European states.

thats pretty cool
I'd say the Irish Aviation Authorities air traffic control zone is quite similar (i.e. its an international obligation that utterly dwarfs the geography of Ireland)
can't find a map of it though
