Basquistan.

The Basque population finally won their freedom, and carved out a bit of France for some elbow room.

That's part of Australia. It's where they plan to host Eurovision if they ever actually win it.

Texas is at the bottom of the map, genius. That's obviously West Nevada.

I guess you could say that's a rough Newfoundland before it split from Europe (or whatever it was called back then)

This honestly had me confused for longer than I'd like to admit.

I'm from east asia so european geography isn't my forte. But I like to think I've played even civilizations and total war games to have some familiarity with Europe.

As an American, this one is easy. That is the strange foreign socialist hellhole with a name I can’t remember because it’s probably not even in English.
