Documented mapping
Regional assignment runs after ISO canonicalization. Switches on the Europe tab do not move Turkey out of MENA on this cartogram.
- ISO names: England, Scotland, Wales, and UK roll up to United Kingdom (GB).
- Turkey is MENA on the global cartogram; TROP’s Europe page still lists it — use the Europe tab switch.
- Russia is its own region globally, not Europe. Dagestan listings roll into Russia.
- Sudan is Sub-Saharan Africa. Palestine absorbs TROP’s “Pal. Auth.” label.
- This mosaic is a CSS cartogram, not GIS. TROP tables have no coordinates.
- No rows in this scrape are tagged transnational or international waters.
