Thanks, that zoom-in helps tremendously. /s

I suppose we'd have lots of problems in Brazil, Australia and Russia, though

As basically the only remaining land borders, i guess all the existing border conflicts would boil down into 3 simultaneous world-war level conflicts that rage constantly in brazil, australia, and russia.

No data. As ever.

They know more about the exact velocity and position of electrons than they know about Greenland.
