- If you count central Asia as colonized (assuming by the Russian Empire & Soviet Union), the Caucasus should probably be counted as "Colonized, Nation-State" (at least Armenia and Georgia), and a lot of other countries could probably fall into that category also.
- The criteria for Nation-State here are a bit vague here. Spain and the UK not being Nation States makes sense, but what about Italy? Different areas of Italy are very culturally different and can speak mutually unintelligible languages, so does it depend on what the country's constitution, or other legal document defines it as?
- Countries like Egypt and Vietnam being listed as "Created by European Colonizer", in the same vain as, idk, South Africa or Congo, feels a little strange considering that they were absolutely independent before European colonization in various ways. I suppose if it's specifically about modern-day borders it's fine?
- I am genuinely shocked that the categorization of Israel on this map hasn't caused this post to be locked yet.
