    1. Purely administrative regions here. Especially Denmark doesn’t make any sense here, they have multiple regions like this but Norway has zero despite having similar size population.

    2. Map is using first level divisions as equal.

      A region in Spain having being separated into municipalities is the same as the municipalities Slovenia is being split into.

      London is split, but Berlin a full whole.

      Assuming this is accurate – it is interesting to note how diffuse the populations of France and Spain are compared to the UK.

      UK actually has a larger population than both countries, but it goes to show how the UK population is excessively concentrated in London and a few other major cities.

      Today I learned Luxembourg has an amazing amount of regions. Or whatever this map shows.

      Surprising that Devon has over a million people – 1.25 million apparently.

    6. It’s kind of meaningless because it basically just answers the question „what type of administrative structure do countries have“.

    7. Woah. It’s like a population density map. But just far worse. Germany – including it’s least densely populated areas – are *nearly (edit)* all red, but half of europe is grey, just because of the size of their average region size, with the underlying population only making a dent into the projection on corner cases.

    8. First level divisions for England should be NUTS 1 regions: South West, South East, North West, North East, Greater London, West Midlands, East Midlands, Greater London, Yorkshire and the Humber.

      All over 1 million with the smallest being the North East with a population of 2.7 million.

      These are the closest parallel to France’s departments

    9. Yeah, that just looks weird because of the 1 million cut off and the way they’ve chosen what counts as a „region“.

      For example, while it’s true that a lot of the UK population is concentrated around London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool, the cut offs seem to skew the image somehwat. For example, Leicestershire is red with a population of 1.058 million, but not Somerset with a population of 983k. Not much difference but sorting by county like that makes it look weird.

      On the other side, it’s chosen autonomous regions in Spain rather than province, which is why it’s mostly red. If the had chosen smaller units like in England, only Málaga, Cádiz and Sevilla would be red among the 8 provinces of Andalusia, rather than it being fully red like it is now.

    10. I live in south Moravian region (czechia) and it’s not highlighted despite having 1.2 mil, plus I’m pretty sure that at least Dublin has over a million. So this map seems factually wrong.

      Do Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland not count as ‚regions‘ according to this classification? All three are the first level of government below Westminster in their respective jurisdictions.

      Holy shit this must be a new low for submissions to r/mapporn

      This is so incredibly bad this must be a circlejerk submission. Now repeat after me:

      Why? Because it makes no fucking sense! Stop it! Please! Get some help!

      North Yorkshire’s wrong. North Yorkshire the ceremonial county has over a million, but that would include York and Teesside, while this map as them split off (it has the administrative counties instead).

    14. Top-Albatross7765 on

      You’re not comparing like with like here. Some countries seem to be divided by ‚county’/constituency and others by region.

    15. Living_Moment_1495 on

      Smaller divisions have less people… duh.

      Switzerland appears white when in fact it’s way more densely populated than France.

    16. Spain is just dead wrong. Regions colored in red that we literally call „the Empty Spain“ (la España vaciada) because of emigration. Just because a couple of larger towns sum up over 1 mill over an area that’s like twice the size of Belgium

      Opolskie is little problematic.
      Oficially there is 923 000(there were over 1000 000, 20 years ago), but registration  laws are often ignored in Poland, also by imigrants, so all Poland population is oficially 37 000 000, but estimated on 41 – 42.

      So population is probably close to 1000 000 yet

      The Scots, Welsh and Irish will doubtless blame England for having more people…….

    19. I would have thought that the region with Glascow in Scotland would have over 1 million.

      Cyprus is not part of Europe. Removing Anatolia while keeping it looks stupid.
