A world map is, in fact, a spread of a globe - a model of our planet Earth. Accordingly, the image reflects the objective reality given to us, in sensations. Politically charged territories, the contours of which can be observed through a camera attached to an orbital station.

For ease of finding coordinates, the world map is usually divided into parallels and meridians.
Since the planet has the shape of a geoid - slightly flattened at the poles, the meridian is 40008.6 km long, and the equator is 40075.7 km long.
The surface of the planet has 510100000 square meters. km. Sushi - 149,000,000, and water - 361,000,000 sq. km. Round numbers give rise to thoughts of miracle, eternity and divine providence... however, everything is much more prosaic - a meter is one forty millionth of the Parisian meridian. Here is the result of all the roundness.
The planet's landmass is divided into several well-known continents; it is worth clarifying that Eurasia is a separate continent, otherwise, to the point of gray hair, many people hold Europe as separate, whereas it is just “part of the world.”
Four oceans, an even simpler thing. You can ask any child which tourist forgot. The deepest ocean is the Pacific. Its record depth is created by the legendary Mariana Trench... no, not a trench - worse, a trench descending to a depth of 11,022 meters. All the powers of the world, as well as chemical and bacteriological weapons, dumped radioactive waste there for many decades. So the real hell is wet and it's there.
Now more cheerful - the highest part of the Earth is a high stone peak in the Himalayas. Everest or Chomolungma, whichever you prefer, is 8848 meters high. But after the legless invalid Mark Inglis conquered it, the mountain shredded. For healthy people it became an ordinary event.
The largest lake is the Caspian. It’s so big that it’s long since been forgotten that the lake is called a sea. Well, that’s what they wanted – 371,000 kilometers. You need a patch the size of one and a half England to close such a hole in the surface.
The largest island is Greenland. 2,176,000, could take an example from the Caspian and call itself a continent. But it’s too stupid - almost all under a layer of ice. It belongs to Denmark, so if it thaws, the size of the Viking state will increase dramatically.
Modern political map of the world- these are geographical photographs that bring together all the countries of the planet, their form of government and government structures. A comprehensive image of countries fully shows important political and geographical changes: the emergence of new countries, their connection and division, changes in status, changes in area, loss or acquisition of sovereignty, changes in capitals, their renaming, modification of the type of government, etc.
The map is depicted in different ways. In some versions, it may have an addition - displaying the relief of the Earth's surface. This is the most dynamic type of map, reflecting geographical and political changes. Therefore, Voweb invites visitors to familiarize themselves with the latest edition, highlighting current changes over the past decade.

Three stages in creating a modern political map
The image of the planet that appears before us today is the result of long-term changes. The political-geographical map was formed over decades, and its process consisted of three stages:
- The end of World War 1, which marked the beginning of the founding of the RSFSR (later the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics), Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire
- The end of World War 2: Germany disintegrated into the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany, the creation of the socialist republic of Cuba, the emergence of other countries in Oceania, Africa, Latin America and Asia
- 1991 - collapse of the USSR
At the third stage, after the split of the Soviet Union, many countries joined the CIS. Since the end of 1990, the Federal Democratic Republic and the German Democratic Republic have reunited into a single Germany, Czechoslovakia has broken up into the Czech and Slovak Republics, and Hong Kong has returned to the People's Republic of China, which previously belonged to Great Britain.

Political map of the world is a geographical map reflecting the countries of the world, their form of government and government structure. The political map reflects the main political and geographical changes: the formation of new independent states, changes in their status, mergers and divisions of states, loss or acquisition of sovereignty, changes in the area of states, replacement of their capitals, changes in the names of states and capitals, changes in forms of government, etc. .
In a broad sense, the political map of the world is not only the state borders of countries plotted on a cartographic basis. It contains information about the history of the formation of political systems and states, about the relationship between states in the modern world, about the uniqueness of regions and countries in their political structure, about the influence of the location of countries on their political structure and economic development.
At the same time, the political map of the world is a historical category, since it reflects all changes in the political structure and borders of states that occur as a result of various historical events.

All the changes that have arisen on the political map over the long history of its formation are of a different nature. Among them, a distinction is made between quantitative and qualitative changes. Quantitative ones include: annexation of newly discovered lands; territorial gains or losses during wars; unification or disintegration of states; concessions or exchanges between countries of land areas. Other changes are qualitative. They consist in the historical change of socio-economic formations; the country's acquisition of political sovereignty; introduction of new forms of government; the formation of interstate political unions, the appearance and disappearance of “hot spots” on the planet. Often quantitative changes are accompanied by qualitative ones. Recent events in the world show that quantitative shifts on the political map are increasingly giving way to qualitative ones, and this leads to the understanding that instead of war - the usual means of resolving interstate disputes - the path of dialogues, peaceful resolution of territorial disputes and international conflicts comes to the fore.

According to experts, in the near future the political map of the world will undergo major changes. The trend toward an increase in the number of states based on ethnic principles continues. At the same time, state borders that do not correspond to the nations living within them will lose their meaning. On the other hand, international political alliances will play an even more important role.
