    A more minimalist world map, to paraphrase a 1970s TV scientist, would be one blue pixel

    Needs a couple of more circles in there to make India and Southeast Asia pop out.

      I would also add one more to NA to make it as wide as it should be. It’s pretty skinny here.

    my own attempt at it

    as can be seen with this diagram, i prefer straight lines over circles when it comes to geopolitics

    also, i’m sorry if this offends somebody somehow

    The entire southeast Asia, which makes up maybe half the majority of the world population disappeared.

      can you, as a perception exercise, try to see some of the other missing territories and list them in a reply?

      It was the first thing I noticed missing too, but it’s “only” 0.7 billion people.

      It probably should be integrated into Australia somehow, to keep circle count low.

        I would say it’s east Asia and South Asia that are missing, not “south east”. It’s like 3 billion isn’t it?

        Yeah! It literally just adds a bit of Cape and Horn to Africa. Without it you’d have a nice circle for the 3 old world continents.

        And the left one may well be the physical circle from a moon impact.

      Africa needs to be enlarged quite a bit and there’s a whole continent missing. Not bad otherwise.

    I love this. I’m guessing there’s a better way to choose circles, though.

    Why have one for the Great Australian Bight? Just so it doesn’t end up being an entire circle? That’s kind of a missed opportunity to do a Philippine Sea circle and include SEA.

    Edit: What about one for each continent, a couple for the Indian ocean, and then a big Pacific Ocean one that takes out of Australia, East Asia (forming SEA) and the two in America?
