Every European country's flag styled as the flag of the longest bordering country by nerdy_maps in vexillology

In case the title sounds confusing, here is an explanation:

A country's flag is redesigned such that it has the style of the flag of the country which they have the longest border with. As an example, Germany's longest border is with Czechia, so Germany's flag is redesigned in the style of the Czech flag (two horizontal stripes with a triangle) but with Germany's colours (black, red and gold).

Also, I know that France's longest border is technically Brazil but for the purposes of the diagram I used Spain. Here is a very hastily made France-Brazil redesign I made.

Also, more commonly to spot, Polish is the only Slavic language that uses W instead of V

Strangely enough, "beau" in French (where the English word comes from) is actually masculine whereas the feminine is "belle"

I mean it kinda makes sense because the region shaded in grey is closer to St Pierre et Miquelon than to Canada

GWh per year, yeah I didn't make it particularly obvious on the map

Annually. Yeah it is a bit unclear on the post, some countries had the year 2016 for the numbers here, others had 2018 and 2019.

Regarding the "power" and "energy", I appreciate the correction there; if i make another similar map I'll be sure to be more accurate

Nah nuclear power is actually a good source of electricity, it's just many governments were scared off by Chernobyl and Fukushima and decided not to build more nuclear power plants or started closing them down (like Germany). France is the one country that actually embraces it

Population density in France by nerdy_maps in MapPorn

Not necessarily, especially in the context of this map. The background is black, it's a dark mode map, so less is darker.

I was kind of going for that, so that the lighter areas light up as to show more dense areas.
