Satirical maps of Europe
The satirical map of modern Europe was compiled by Janko Tsvetkov, an artist of Bulgarian origin living in the UK. He collected material for a long time on the Internet and published a book “Atlas of stereotypes and prejudices”.
Tsvetkov is sure that these stereotypes are based on the belief that your native country and your compatriots are the best in the world.
All done with humor! And whether they are accurate or biased, judge yourself!
