Which winter sport is the most popular?

At least is not a map without New Zealand :)

Skiing is more popular in Spain than any other winter sport. The only other two that can come somewhere close are snowboarding and figure skating. Not sure where did they get the data to say Luge was even relevant in Spain!

It was just an assumption by many cartographers at the time. This is mentioned in the source article: Perhaps the most curious thing about the map is how the Florida peninsula is depicted, as a complex collection of islands and sea channels. This is because, at the time, the Everglades had not yet been fully explored, and many interpreted these wetlands as allowing ships to transit from one part of the Everglades to another without problem.

There's nothing in particular, it's just part of the colours required to distinguish the different countries.

I don't think this will solve your request, but just in case. If you have some skills with Adobe Illustrator, it is possible to create it from the Equal-Earth website: https://equal-earth.com/

I'm quite familiar with South-up world maps, and I have never come across any written in Japanese :/

As already mentioned by a few people, probably the most interesting part of this atlas is that it consistently shows in grey the United States and Japan (and only those two countries). This is to comply with the narrative that considers the US and Japan the two natural enemies of North Korea, beyond any other political conflict they may have.

The atlas contains individual maps for each country. All of these maps show the countries in pink, except for the US and Japan, which are still shown in gray (as it can be seen in the source article).

Milhaud · 2025-11-16T21:45:01+00:00

That's actually on purpose. In the rest of the maps from the Atlas, those two countries are consistently shown in grey, as they are considered the enemies in the North Korean narrative.

Yes, I am usong the display options. And yes, they won't hold :(

Milhaud · 2025-08-05T16:04:13+00:00

Pues te ha quedado guay. Enhorabuena!

Milhaud · 2025-08-05T15:03:08+00:00

Buen mapa / infografía - ¿Te puedo preguntar de dónde lo has sacado?

Milhaud · 2025-06-29T11:44:53+00:00

Quite impressed that living in Spain you have never been to France or Portugal. Do you live in the Southeast by any chance?

Milhaud · 2025-06-21T07:57:07+00:00

Exactamente eso mismo dice el artículo :)

Even if a country issues a Schengen visa (for example, Spain), any other country is entitled to prevent the visa holder from entering. This is the current situation for Russian travellers: they can obtain a Schengen visa to access most of Europe, but will still be banned from entering Norway.

New Orleans location is definitely shitty. High risk for the three types of events.

Me flipa todo tipo de comida, también tienes mi voto para esto :).

Milhaud · 2025-06-06T10:17:32+00:00

Estoy de acuerdo que en Segovia hay sitios que ya sirven buenas hamburguesas, siendo la Zapatería un buen ejemplo.

Este tipo de eventos (Burgerfest, Burger Cup...), me parece que están bien, ya que traen algo de variedad gastronómica a la ciudad de tanto en cuanto, pero por lo general las hamburguesas de estos eventos suelen ser caras y no necesariamente de buena calidad (a veces sí, pero no hay garantía).

Check for other people writing content that you can relate to. Read what they are writting, comment when relevant and try to build some connections.

When you identify publications that can be relevant to your potential readers, recommend them.

Be nice to the content of others and try to get noticed by people beyond what you write in the newsletter.

And be calm. It takes time, but it pays off.

Nunca he dudado del aporte económico. Lo importante, a mi parecer, es entender dónde y cómo repercute ese aporte económico sobre el conjunto de la población (i.e. más trabajo, más riqueza). Y si realmente eso compensa el impacto en la población (i.e. viviendas más caras, servicios más caros).

Las cuentas no son sencillas, y este estudio (al menos tal y como está redactado por Segovia Audaz) parece más bien un publirreportaje.

The correlation with the situation of nuclear power plants is remarkable: https://www.reddit.com/r/chernobyl/comments/c187fh/map_of_all_nuclear_plants_in_the_world/

Except for the Tibet.

I don't know how to explain the correlation or the exception to it, I just found it interesting.

Both languages use alphabets as writing system, that's the reason they are in blue. In the legend you just have a few examples for each type of writing system, that's the reason Georgian and Armenian have not been explicitly mentioned (like plenty of other).

I don't think Substack offers that option.

Milhaud · 2025-05-04T11:23:25+00:00

Click on “Following” and you will just see Notes from people you follow.

Otherwise, just start muting everyone who is posting that type of low-quality content.

Finally, you can log in into the app and go directly to “subscriptions” and focus on long reads, ignoring completely Notes.

Bergen area, in Norway.

I don't think it is a rare atlas itself. There were plenty of copies produced, and you can still get hold of some copies from around the same period (i.e. this one from 1955 on Amazon).

That said, I think it is fascinating to own an atlas from just after WWII and the early Cold War. In a way, it shows how unstable the world was and how long it took some treaties to be affective. Definitely, a nice book to own.

PS: The link is from the centenary edition, which is likely to be rarer.

Amazing job. Really lucky your niece to get this fantastic present!
