Note: these are **not** the European companies in the Global Fortune 500, but the companies in the European Fortune 500.

The number on the map tells you how many companies headquartered in the country are in the European Fortune 500; the name which has the largest revenue among those. For example, Poland has 8 companies in the European Fortune 500, the largest by revenue being Orlen.

‘Stellantis’

Isn’t tax avoidance a treat?

Seeing Stellantis in the Netherlands makes me livid. This shit must be stopped at a certain point.

Is nobody concerned that a lot of these are cars/fossil fuel companies?

Huh, I thought that Scotland, Northern Ireland and England were separate countries (which appears correct?), but the UK also sounds like it is considered a country. TIL.

Is it Northern Ireland that is a tax haven? Would be interesting to compare its share of companies, perhaps by GDP/population or similar.

Also interested in what map projection it’s using. I don’t think I’ve seen Russia look like that before. (Edit: possibly just a rotated mercator?)

Denmark should be Novo Nordisk in 2024 I’m sure…
