    He tried to make it population-balanced, not capital-balanced. That’s why the green is so small. Everything to the East of Ukraine should be green.

    This book is lame. I can’t read his leftist circlejerk, everything it says became so mainstream that the book itself is unreadable and a big ass cliche

  3. Not to be pedentic but I think there are some errors in this map

    Central Asia (the stan countries) would be part of Euroasia, these were part of the Soviet Union and the book says that Euroasia encompassed all of the former Soviet Union plus the rest of Europe minus the British Isles

    India is also hinted heavily at being in the disputed zone. Julia mentions at one point there being a lot of tea available so Oceania must have made advances in India and the news bulletins repeatedly talk about “The Malabar Front” with Malabar being a region in India. This matters because its revealed that the superpowers take great effort not to invade each others core territory and limit direct fighting to the disputed zones so given how much fighting is clearly taking place in India I doubt it was part of Eastasia proper

    Just my two cents

    Only if East and South Asia would economically unite like this. Make Asia Great Again.

    We’re rapidly getting to this exact place.

    World is divided up into three spheres of influence – All ruled by the same capitalist interests and faking being at war to prevent dissent within.

    A popular theory says that the three superstates are governmental propaganda, and Oceania just controls the UK

    Is this map even sensical? I’d be considered Eastasian in this universe, while my Indonesian neighbors would be an Oceanian….

  8. I’d say Trump is getting his ideas from this book except I don’t think he reads anything without pictures in it.

  9. Do you think Engsoc is a lie? Like there’s nothing English about it? Like everything is run from America and telling Brits that the ideology is named after England is just a way to make them think that they’re the ones in charge? I’ve had this question for a while now lol

  10. Fun fact – one of the best Russian poets of 20th century – Alexander Blok (he is my favourite poet, btw) was a part of the movement called “Eurasianists” (Евразийцы) – they thought that the whole continent should be united under the rule of Russia

    this one illustates it the best: [The Scythians](https://ruverses.com/alexander-blok/scythians/)

  11. I’m of the mind that Airship one is just isolated dictatorship Britain. I don’t think any of the things in the book are true.

    There’s axtually a ver interesting theory that says INGSOC might actully control only the British isles, or only great Britain, heck maybe they only control London!. Since they never go out of the city, the reader doesn’t hqve an actual clue everything Ingsoc says it’s real, so as far everyone’s concerned they might only control a small region of England. This is a theory of course, i haven’t read the book throughly so please anyone feel free to correct me if i’m wrong

  13. In one part of book Julia mentions that she found tea in the party office, which as she said, means Oceania probably conquered India
