Layers, overlays and how to read the map
  • A country in the Atlas — click it to open the panel, click again to go to its page
  • Land outside the Atlas, drawn so the coast has a far shore
  • A destination we have written
  • A country too small to draw at this scale — Monaco and Vatican City, and four more at the widest zoom

Drag to pan, scroll or use + and − to zoom. Zooming past 1.6× loads a finer coastline; opening a country loads that country's own.

Geography

What each destination is for

What this drawing is and is not

The land comes from Natural Earth 1:50m admin 0 countries, which is in the public domain and which we host ourselves: the file your browser drew this from is on our own servers, fetched once by a script in this repository, hashed, and committed. There is no map account behind it and no per-view bill, and that is a deliberate architectural choice rather than a stage we have not reached yet.

It is a cartographic source, not a legal one. It is built to look right at a stated scale, and at the scale of a whole continent a border is a line a few kilometres wide. Do not read a disputed frontier off this map. Two countries in the Atlas — Monaco and Vatican City — have no shape here at all, because at 1:50 million they are smaller than a pixel; they are drawn as a ringed point instead of a polygon we made up. How the map is built.

Projection: a Lambert conformal conic on the angles the EU publishes pan-European maps at — standard parallels 35°N and 65°N, origin 52°N, central meridian 10°E. Conformal means shape is preserved everywhere: a country is the shape it is, at any latitude on this map. Regions are shown by the destinations that belong to them, not as boundaries — we hold which region a place is in, and we do not hold region geometry.
