Is this a contiguous connection between claimed territories (e.g. Antarctica) and islands part of the EU (e.g. Reunion's DOM, and French Polynesia's COM)?
Interesting, but as a seafarer kind of silly as the EEZ and 12 mile limits don't create any sort of contiguous existence.
The freedom of navigation and international waters make for some interesting viewing though.
Well yeah, but if this is the continent why the long legs to signify ownership? This justifiably confused me into thinking this was a political graphic incorrectly labeled as Europe instead of EU.
So I suppose this graphic really isn't showing anything at all, as it's neither politically or geographically accurate.
You should put the whole of Russia. Siberia, Kamchatka etc were colonised by europeans (Russians) and their polulations were replaced with ethnic slavs.
