Why Is It Like That There

Not a sheet per continent — "Africa" is not a topic, it is fifty-four countries and every climate there is, and a sheet with a region at the top can only be a list of capitals and a flag to color. Every sheet here answers one question about one place instead: why the deserts sit in two lines, why half a continent is downwind of one wall, why all the mountains are on one side, why Europe is cut into so many countries, why a river crosses a desert, why the far north is empty on one side of the world only, and how anybody found the Pacific islands. Every number is measured off real coordinates.
