If country boundaries were Voronoi diagrams with respect to their capitals.

I really enjoyed this.

Great work.

I want to see one a diagram which includes the oceans too

Huh, Canada seems roughly intact (except for BC).

wk_end•14m ago

BC's intact too, if I'm reading this correctly. We lose some far north to Iceland and the very southern tip of Ontario to the US, and that seems to be it as far as I can tell. And as a trade we get New England, a good chunk of Washington, and the northern Plains and a bit of the Midwest. Not bad, really!

bwestergard•42m ago

Seems right, ship it.

forthwall•35m ago

Interesting, if a country has multiple capitals, it gets split even more!

martinclayton•30m ago

Dublin knabs a decent chunk of Great Britain, Copenhagen gets southern Sweden. Seems fair.

I would love to see some stats with this. What countries gain/loss the most? Which countries are the last changed? What areas are the now the most countries away from their original country?

I find it very funny to imagine Keralam and Tamil Nadu part of Sri Lanka.
