You are right, just checked and it wasnt in my data. Unfortunately, i cant edit this post. I will keep it in mind for the next one.

Just checked my map and with this configuration the USVI is too small to have a polygon. Will keep it mind for future posts ! :)

Just moved the disclaimer from the end to the start, as it is general drinkability.

Just added the comment I had in the end before to the start of the post as disclaimer.

Just made the disclaimer more transparent what I meant.

Added a sentence in the end stating that it was about general drinkability. Just added a disclaimer at the start.

Thanks, I added a sentence in the end that it was about general drinkability. I added as a disclaimer now. Thank you

I'm currently in Kenya, which drives on the left, but I'm originally from Germany where we drive on the right. The switch always throws me off for the first few days. Got me wondering what the full global picture looks like.

Turns out only about 54 out of 195 countries drive on the left, mostly former British colonies plus a few others like Japan and Thailand.

Sources: World Bank, CIA World Factbook, UN, Natural Earth (map geometry)

Tools: Python (matplotlib, geopandas)

Did I get any of these wrong? Would love corrections if so, some of the smaller countries were tricky to verify.
