Because it’s part of France and I’m dividing Europe by country, not subdivisions. Plus the app I used only allows you to colour in whole countries.

Technically it means land of the Angles. The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Britain along with the Saxons and Jutes, who formed the country England.

According to the UN estimate, which is a standard definition across all countries, it does

It is neither. It’s the UN population estimate of 2025, which is a standard definition of city, which is better for comparing cities around the world. Since countries have their own definitions of city proper, metro area and urban area, it can be pretty inconsistent. On the chart look at the first column after “country”that’s the one that’s used here.

Actually, it’s the UN population estimate. That’s neither the city proper, metro area, or urban area figure. Countries have their own definition of what constitutes those. The UN figure is its own figure, which is basically a standardised definition of city which is better for comparing cities across the world.

Anyone can find the list. It’s nice to see it laid out on a map.

Well, if we’re talking about the last country to let go of any of what is now Germany it was that Soviet Union, hence why it’s coloured in red

It doesn’t celebrate independence from a particular country. It celebrates a certain point towards independence but not for full independence. Are you seriously trying to make me correct this again after people made me correct it before? I guess you can’t win.

It isn’t really about celebrating I independence from the UK, as that happened more gradually over time. It’s not tied to one specific date that is celebrated. That part was revised due to comments on my earlier post

Yes, but the one it celebrates is about Spanish colonial rule

I figured that what they celebrate is statehood and the oath taking of Leopold I of Belgium in 1831. Not specifically about becoming independent from the Netherlands

Philippines Independence Day is about independence from Spain. The one from the US which used to be celebrated on July 4th no longer exists.

Its actual Independence Day is about independence from Spain. It has another national holiday related to the United States, but it’s not Independence Day.
