A running list of geography odds situations and special cases that we come across in EMu

Mismatched Geography Hierarchy in EMu

State:

Hawaii - Country: U.S.A, Continent: Oceania (not North America)

Country:

Trinidad and Tobago -Continent: South America (not West Indies)

Canary Islands – Country: Spain, Continent: Africa (not Europe)

Geography Hierarchy in EMu that differs from Statoids

United Kingdom, first administrative division = country (England, North Ireland, Scotland, Wales), second administrative division = what Statoids presents as primary administrative division

Brazil county/municipality (second subdivision) does not match Statoids. Statoids presents Brazil's "microregions" as the second administrative divisons, which "...have no administrative function; they were defined by the federal government for purposes of convenience" (Law, 2007). Alternatively, used Wikipedia page "List of municipalities of Brazil" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_municipalities_of_Brazil).

Countries Historical Names and Current Day

Abyssinia = Ethiopia

Annam = colonial French name for Vietnam

Bohemia = Czech Republic

British Honduras = Belize

British Guiana = Guyana

British North Borneo = Malaysia

British West Indies = Bahamas

Burma = Myanmar

Ceylon = Sri Lanka

Formosa = Taiwan

French Indochina = Vietnam

Hispanola = the island that consists of the countries of the Dominican Republic & Haiti

Moravia = Czech Republic

New Granada =  Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela

New Holland = Australia

Northern Rhodesia = Zambia

Persia = Iran

Siam = Thailand

Southern Rhodesia = Zimbabwe

Van Diemen's Land = Tasmania (Australia)

Zaire = Democratic Republic of the Congo
