Ok I'm very interested in how the person who made the map decided the colours, as in why was Slovenia explicitly singled out from the south Slavic countries?

I would have imagined that Wales would be the dark green color.

The punchline here was once true but it's getting seriously out of date.

Doubt about the Germs tho.
Think only yesterday one of them posted a link without mentioning it was totally in German, bcs they think everyone knows their language.

I had the misfortune of spending time there before and swore never to go back.
10 years later I couldn't avoid it and had to be there a few days for work.
First interaction was in a gas station on a highway.
You know, where plenty people come from various countries.
Me "Sorry, do you speak English?"
Gas Germ: "Nein!" In the most fascist -WTF are you thinking!- manner.
I immediately turned around and walked back to the car where there was a cop furiously yelling at my co-worker for the crime of stopping in the wrong place (with him being in the car).
All in German, despite the obvious foreign license plate.
That was when I decided to never speak to one of them again and let my co-worker deal with it from then on.
Had some awkward situations with me just ignoring anything they said or asked, at best point to my co-worker when he was around.
