Would be interesting to see a UK version of this with its overseas territories placed over a map of Britain, I imagine the falklands are surprisingly big

Despite looking so small in South America, Guyane size is very impressive

Really surprised with Caledonia. It’s huge
These territories give France the largest EEZ in the world
Where is Corsica? Is it safe? Is it alright?
Now do Portugal 😂
Don’t forget the whole of the CFA Franc countries in Africa which are like half colonial territories.
The Crozet islands, St Paul and Amsterdam, Scattered islands and Clipperton are missing but they are probably too small to appear on this graph. Adelie land is under the Antarctic treaty. French Polynesia, even if the islands depicted are on scale, it is way larger than that: https://geoconfluences.ens-lyon.fr/images/articles/img-gay-elections/comparaison-europe-polynesie-1000px.png/view
Now do denmark
The legacy of French imperialism

If you want to see the true size of french polynesia you need a map of Europe [this one is great](https://i.redd.it/u23zgilavgca1.jpg)
GOD DAMN FRENCH GUYANA
It’s way bigger than I thought
We’re super lucky as Europeans that we’ve claimed all the uninhabited islands in the oceans as they’re strategically massively important.
New Caledonia❤️🇩🇿
