Visualization of countries connecting each to their primary trade partners. The Soviet Bloc is on the top right.

Not to be pedantic, but why is the USSR completely black? Did they not have their own flag? Or is it meant to represent the godless evil that dwelled within each and every one of their twisted black hearts?

Somebody quickly compiled this with a data visualization library that had a flag representation for every currently-existing country, and couldn’t be assed to figure out how to add historic countries to whatever library they were using.

It’s for countries that no longer exist. Yugoslavia, Belgium-Luxembourg, and the Yemens are also black.
