These are fun:

1) There are some surprises with countries in red: Chile and Greece, notably. We've grown accustomed to Japan and South Korea being in the "developed world". Sadly, there's no surprise that America is not in red...

2) New Yorkers apparently do not move to the Dakotas. Gosh, what a surprise...

3) This brings home the preponderance of England in the UK. I guess it's not surprising that in crunch time, like Brexit, the English pretty much forget about the others. And it's no surprise that, as a result, the Scots (and Irish?) want out of the not-so-United Kingdom.

4) This is fun! You must "find" the states that aren't there...

It's all those damn socialist countries with the life expectency over 80...What are they doing wrong.

10% of my state, Florida is from NY. No wonder I feel like I'm in Brooklyn at times. Oh wait that's where my wife is from.

Scotland rules

HAHA, love that Alaska and Hawaii are producing their own maps with states missing. I think that NM moved to Canada and Trump made PA vanish.

Both SD and ND were absorbed by MN since the population of both states is about the size of my neighborhood.
