odk ofd i loka like a i give a fcuk?
Soon it will be one country less, Equatorial Guinea are building a new city planned to be the capital.
Abu Dhabi is a funny one, the majority of the city is on an island, yes, but it does spill over onto the mainland. A lot of it is also built on artifically separated islands, using canals.
It is also the capital of an Emirate, like how New York City is part of New York state, and Abu Dhabi in that context is about 3/4 of the entire country of the UAE.
Why does Abu Dhabi count but not Stockholm?
you missed Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, and the UK
No Wellington, NZ? Surely the South Island is the true mainland…
Also Indonesia, with Jakarta being on Java, although the capital is moving to Borneo (the ‚mainland‘ in some ways)
Damn, found a new r/MapsWithoutNZ
The Gambia has a mainland?
If the capital isn’t in the mainland, is it really the mainland?
Technically, Dhaka, Bangladesh is on an island too. Its hard to say where the mainland is there
China, do whit this info as you wish
Calling Jutland „the mainland“ of Denmark is definitely arguable. Jutland is by far the geographically largest part of Denmark Proper(excluding Greenland and the Faroes) at about 2/3rds of the land area, but it holds only 46% of the population. In comparison Zealand holds 40% of the population(although with much less of the land area). That is not to mention that while the islands of Jutland hold almost no population, Amager(part of the Copenhagen metropolitan area) has a population of over 200,000 which is about 3.5% of the entire population of the country. Lastly I would like to add that from a cultural perspective nobody thinks of Jutland as „the mainland“ in any meaningful way. Zealand and Jutland are almost entirely defined in opposition to one another and thought of as equal parts of the whole. There is of course friendly competition(and some occasionally quite regionalist politics) but nobody really thinks of Denmark having a „mainland“.
bro what about france? it’s literally called isle de france
Whoa, Borneo as a continent? That’s a geography plot twist I didn’t see coming.
