You certainly wouldn't have learned that from that infographic. :-)

Even if comparing countries to continents were valid, that map completely omits the two largest countries in the world, and only includes three of the top nine (#10 is an African country).

Also unsettling is how they say "all of Europe" is included. There is absolutely no way that chunk labeled "Eastern Europe" contains Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. It's large enough to maybe represent just the Ukraine.

They forgot the Nordic countries too.

I also want to know where they got "China Part 2" [Electric Boogaloo?] from.
