I find that hard to believe and impossible to comprehend.

That is like saying the British Isles is as big as the UK and Eire put together!

Greece got counted as part of "Eastern Europe"...

[ssltech]

The southern part of Ireland got counted in with 'the UK'... that might upset a few people.

Also, that map still appears to use the distorted 'Mercator projection' type of representation, which broadens representations as they get closer to the poles... it would have served the purposes of illustration much better (AND matched their table more closely) if they'd not done so.

Oh, and why are there GAPS between France and Spain? -Are the Basque regions that troublesome?
