I, for one, support the Republic of Great Ireland and Northern Britain
On this map, you can see why Denmark's capital is Copenhagen. When Denmark controlled Scania and Schleswig-Holstein, it was much more centrally located than today. The borders of Denmark in this map correspond roughly to the borders before the Treaty of Roskilde.
I think that these should not be straight lines regarding that the Earth is a sphere. Especially between Moscow and Helsinki.
it should also take into account transport feasability to at least some degree, like no one in their right mind would associate narvik with helsinki..
For railway, there is already some neat project for visualising the reach in a certain travel time from any city with a station. https://www.chronotrains.com/de/explore
this i an amazingly informative rendering.
What about Edin, bruh?
As a finn, I approve these new borders.
Suur-Suomi !
I’d much rather be ruled by my closest capital.
NorthMacedoniaVaduz? Did they just choose two cities for capital-less Switzerland?
Vaduz is the capital of Liechtenstein.
No, that is the capital of Liechtenstein
There's something funky going on north of valleta
Voronoistan Union
Superb way to illustrate.
How did u make this
I don't know how NaytaData made it, but if I were doing it, I would do something like this:
- start with a "blank" un-coloured map of coastline and country borders
- put all the "capital" cities on the map
- make a temporary grid of points over the map and find the closest city for each point
- paint the map based on those temporary grid points
I would use a computer but the same steps would work with paper & pen.
If the OP is using GIS, it can be even easier.
Your first two steps are spot on, but then step three could simply be to add a large buffer for each capital and use some and/or/nor/xor (I'd have to look up to be certain) rules to have the buffer zones not overlap, but end where touching. Apply a color scheme and you're in business.
what if the uk colonised europe
Those borders don't even line up with longitude and latitude! What is this, amateur hour‽
I somehow don't understand this fully but love it
Cool map.
Though, Switzerland doesn't have a capital.
Interesting tall portugal
