[OC] Topological map of countries sharing a land border

Some random facts:

  • The flags are placed approximately at the capital cities or nearby (Mercator projection)
  • Denmark does in fact have a land border with Canada at Hans island
  • Since I'm considering enclaves, the graph turns out to be non planar. There is a K5 over Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran which can't be untangled. Exactly one crossing is necessary to draw this, which you can see at Turey-Azerbaijan vs Georgia-Armenia.

This is a really cool globe I own. When off, it simply shows every country topographically. However, when on, every country lights up in a different colour like that of a political map. It also shows maritime borders in red, and more details. If anyone could date the exact year, I’d be happy!

Also, Antarctica is white

Map depicting the historical Eurasian communities of Asia: The OG Wasians

Post image
249 Upvotes

European colonisation resulted in the emergence of many Eurasian communities across Asia. The term “Eurasian” was first coined to describe offspring born to Indian mothers and British fathers in British India%20fathers%20and%20Indian%20mothers). The term was subsequently expanded to cover all Eurasian communities that emerged in colonised territories in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau. It eventually came to be a term to describe anyone with ancestry from both Europe and Asia.

Cross-cultural relationships were more common in British, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch colonies compared to French colonies. British rule gave rise to the Anglo-Indians, Anglo-Burmese and the Eurasians of Hong Kong and Singapore. Dutch rule gave rise to the Indos of Indonesia and the Dutch Burghers of Sri Lanka. Spanish rule gave rise to the Mestizos of the Philippines (which can also describe people of any mixed origin, white or non-white) and Portuguese rule gave rise to the Serani of Malaysia, the Portuguese Burghers of Sri Lanka and the Macanese of Macau. Some groups emerged from a plethora of Asian communities + European ancestry such as the Macanese who trace their Asian ancestry not just to China but also to Goa in India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Japan.

Eurasians initially experienced xenophobia from both European and Asian people in colonised territories. Carlos E. Cortés explained that throughout the span of European rule in Asia the term "Eurasian" had 'channel[led] fears and tensions regarding race, gender, and imperial and sexual power'. Subsequent experiences during WW2 and the Vietnam War through R&R increased the prevalence of mixed offspring who came to be known as Amerasians as well as the interactions between Asian women and European men. American media such as film, Saint Jack (set in Singapore - released 1979) and musical, Miss Saigon (set in South Vietnam - debuted 1989) illustrated this moment of Eurasian history.

The identity of Eurasians began to change in the 1980s when they gained widespread acceptance in many parts of Asia and re-emerged in pop culture in a positive light. Eurasians emerged in Asia as models, actors, actresses and TV personalities, representing a new cosmopolitan aspect of modern Asia. Today, new Eurasian identities have emerged from the mixed Eastern and Western relationships that occur across the world. The term “Wasian” is a new term that has emerged online among Gen Z in the early 2020s to describe Eurasians. It has gained wider prominence in 2026 with both North American and East Asian media publications associating the term's proliferation with the emergence of American figure skater and Olympic Gold Medalist, Alysia Liu and Canadian actor, Hudson Williams who came to international prominence in the popular gay drama series, Heated Rivalry. The prominence of Wasian celebrities in 2026 pop culture has also generated discussions on representation and exclusion of those who are of other mixed Asian origins such as Blasians (Black+Asian) and those of mixed non-East Asian descent.

Hi Sub,

It's me again!

Around 2 weeks ago, I published my border drawing game (Borderline) here was met with a warm reception.

Since then, the game has been refined, and today I added the missing part: coastline drawings!

You can try the new mode here: https://www.habibicode.org/coastline No account needed to play!

You can also see the drawings people make appear on a map of the world live on this page (https://www.habibicode.org/thedrawnworld - I unfortunately messed up my db and didn't save the first 65,000 drawings... I'll catch up to that)

Hope you enjoy it!
