We will also take Hawaii and make it our 27th state, if our fellow United States of America citizens agree on a nice deal, they will have to change their flags and remove one of the stars, maybe they just cross it over with black ink with a nice "X" to denote their unconditional love to Oil. We will deliver some nice oil reserves for Hawaii, they will love it! We both win "bigly" as former president Trump would have said!

Actually Brazil may possibly have claimed Hong Kong before, because there were times when the portuguese empire was really the empire of Brazil with Portugal as just one of its colonies, and Portugal did control Macau so it may have claimed Hong Kong at some point

[@fulana_de_tal]

Brazil was never the main kingdom of the Empire, the capital was Rio de Janeiro for a while, sure, but Brazil itself was only promoted to a "Vice Kingdom", so the full name of the Portuguese Empire was "United Kingdom of Portugal, Algarves and Brazil". Also i highly doubt that Portugal would try to claim Hong Kong when it had just fell under British control.

[@ronweasley1354]

For the first map, Russia does go further north, but the top of the flag is white so you can’t even see it, still a bad map obviously though

[@CrotchetRest]

The fact, that the top of the Russian flag is white, is not the issue. They really just erased Russia's black border. If you take a look at Canada or Finland, they do have black border in places where white color of their flag meets the ocean.

For the first map, based on what it says on the bottom, it's showing where you can send money. For that reason, it's not odd to me that Greenland is missing entirely, same with South Sudan, but it seems unlikely that the company in question can handle transactions to almost every country, but not somewhere like Denmark or New Zealand. This doesn't appear to be Western Union, though, so maybe the company in question doesn't have the ability or authorization in the places that don't appear.

First map also shows Libya with green flag, that was used during Gaddafi rule. So, apparently this map were made before 2011. That's also why there's no South Sudan.

I keep trying to make sense of the 2:07 map and just can't. It seems to use a bunch of flags and general borders from the 19th century, such as using the Brazilian Empire flag, The German Empire flag, the Qing Dynasty flag etc. But then you look at Morocco's flag and it's represented with a flag that hasn't been used since before the United States even existed, and then there's other inconsistencies like why is the Dutch South Africa flag on Madagascar even though that was never a thing? All of these would mean that the caption is just blatantly wrong. But even if the caption was right and this is like a political-influence map, it still makes no sense

When you said give Macau to brazil, technically there was a period of time from which the kingdom of Portugal was ruled from Brazil due to a Spanish invasion, and Portugal held Macau at this time thus there was a point in history during which Brazil ruled Macau

[@Cortov]

If you're talking about the period roughly between 1808 and 1822, it wasn't a Spanish invasion, but a French one. In 1808 France was enforcing the Continental Blockade and Portugal refused to comply because they were very dependent of the UK. When the French invaded Portugal the Court fled to Brazil, which became an united kingdom alongside Portugal and the Algarves, so the Court could rule Portugal even though they were in a colony. The Spanish Army did in fact participate in the invasion of Portugal alongside Napoleonic forces, but it was mainly French; additionally, "Spanish Invasion" could easily be confused with a period from 1580 to 1640 when Spain ruled over Portugal and it's colonies (a.k.a. the Iberian Union), including Brazil and Macao, because the King of Portugal died and the country went through a succession crisis.
