Another interesting world map.

This one shows the relationship between countries and their borders, but ignores their actual shape and location. It just shows which countries border which other ones.

So far as I work out the Pacific Ocean doesn't even need showing! The two bits at 10ish are the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, the Y shaped bit is the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf, the vertical bit is the Med and the horizontal bit is the Atlantic?

Why is there direct contact (border) with France? Possibly with Spain, via Gibraltar.

I assumed channel tunnel as well.

It doesn't show or consider exclaves /colonies /dependents etc. either, or it'd be way messier.

French Guiana is different cause that's considered part of France proper?
