How it works:
1. Countries are first sorted by longitude from west to east (Americas → Europe/Africa → Asia/Oceania).
2. The sorted list is split into 14 columns, each containing 14 countries. Since 193 ≠ 196, there are 3 empty cells. I placed all 3 empty cells in one column that spans the Americas, Europe, and Africa, loosely mimicking the Atlantic Ocean.
3. Within each column, countries are then sorted by latitude from north to south.
4. Countries are colored by UN M49 continental regions: Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
Note on distortion:
Latitude order is preserved within each column, but not across columns. This means some north–south relationships are sacrificed (e.g. Palau appears north of North Korea here). This is a compromise to fit the world into a compact square grid.

Can someone UNvotemapify this
This is actually quite creative! Thank you, OP!
Now if Azores, Madeira, and Canary Islands all declare independence, we have a full schedule.
Please someone give OP an award! 🙏
The table of countries in the world
Actually creative and interesting
Iraq should be between syria and iran at same line
Some things are a bit weird to see like Haiti between Canada and Iceland but still brilliant work mate !
I’m trying to understand why Tanzania is on a row higher than Kenya. It’s quite possible that I don’t fully understand the sorting despite the explanation.
How is Ukraine further north than Ireland?
Is this based off the geographic center of the countries explaining why Russia is separated from the rest of Europe?
