Isn’t Australia and New Zealand Oceania and depicted as the orange line?
Using ‘The West’ is such a fucking dog whistle OP I hope that’s not your intention but you’re basically just saying ‘white folks’. It’s an inherently political statement and not a commonly understood geographical grouping when compared to continental boundaries (which yes have their own problems).
To pick up Oceania and just pluck out all the white folk is such a decision you really need to defend that.
Is Russia Asia? Or what part of it’s population have you considered to be in Europe?
It’s interesting data, but can you make a version that is NOT an eye exam?
What is this? A legend for ants!
