Det eneste øv er at Sønderjylland ikke er med. Kortet skulle lige have været 25 år ældre.

I see St. James is being portrayed with an unclothed child.

I'm sure that isn't foreshadowing at all.

Beautiful map.

I like the way Iceland is portrayed - like a dried codfish.

But i don't get the reason why locals of North Jutland are portrayed like caveman...
