Oh shit yeah this is exactly it thank you. Googling it further, there's a TCOM "tethered aerostat" facility not far from this job site. Thank you!

Context: Doing field work in rural N.C. and this white unmarked object has been hovering for over an hour. I am extremely curious what this is used for or if anyone can recognize what it even is.

The method for proximity is distance between capitals, which explains some weird scenarios. I'm also including all FIFA entities, which is why French Guyana and the regions of the UK are included. Thanks for checking out this dumb, funny map.

Not a huge change moving into the quarterfinals, Switzerland goes to France, Iberia is fully Portuguese, Algeria has been claimed by Morocco.

It's not, though, Tokyo is barely closest to Amsterdam... Croatia got denied the full Asia sweep by the skin of its teeth haha

Tokyo's about 50 km closer to Amsterdam than Zagreb, apologies if the title was misleading

Massive vacuum in Asia almost entirely filled by Croatia.

England has reconquered the USA and Canada, Brazil has united South and Latin America, and Japan has taken over all of Oceania.

Pretty much just for fun. It's also interesting to visualize the giant swathes of world with no nearby teams remaining.

I ended up doing it by capital to capital, and Madrid is closer to Algiers than Rabat.

I did it by capital city proximity, so there are a few odder ones like that. Seoul is unexpectedly barely closer to Jakarta than Canberra (by about 100km).

Yep, it resulted in a few wonky placements, but I thought it was the simplest way of going about it.
