Funny Maps on a Friday: Redrawing Europe & finding Vulgaria

The Economist's "tongue-in-cheek" redrawing of geography of Europe, allowing for odd political alignments, the creation of mythical places, and other general map silliness.

I particularly like the justification for moving Poland and the other former Russian block nations, as they - having endured a 20th century history full of invasions, Communist occupation and everything else - "deserve some isolation" for a while.

Besides, who wouldn't want to "holiday" in a place like Vulgaria?

Enjoy the read.
