22·18 hours agoIf anyone is offended, it’s the person who took this conversation as “rude.”
Point is, unincorporated territory, country, state, autonomous territory, etc are just legal definitions of regions. And the purpose of the map is to show participating regions.
Depending too much on the literal definition of country misses the point of the map (unless the point is the shit on the US, something I would fully agree we are deserving of.) I would certainly understand a modified green/red stripe color to indicate the California participates but is part of a country that doesn’t. That feels honest and in the spirit of the map, dismissing California wholly doesn’t.

While we’re on the subject of literal readings of this map; Argentina is in WHO, and is shaded a color not on the legend. Do you have a problem with this part?

113·22 hours agoPuerto Rico isn’t a country, yet it is green on this map.
Greenland isn’t a country, yet it is shaded a color.
The purpose of a map is to convey geographic information. What you seem to be looking for is a dictionary.

414·24 hours agoIt’s bigger than many countries and more populous than many countries. And it’s in WHO.
Unnecessarily pedantic to exclude it.

But make no mistake. There is something, however small, that you can do. De-Google.

Then why isn’t it listed in the official list of participating countries?
