A running list of geography odds situations and special cases that we come across in EMu
Mismatched Geography Hierarchy in EMu
States:
Canary Islands - Country: Spain, Continent: Africa (not Europe)
Hawaii - Country: U.S.A, Continent: Oceania (not North America)
Countries:
Trinidad and Tobago -Continent: South America (not West Indies)
Bermuda - Continent: North America (might be assumed to be West Indies)
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's 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, the county/municipality look up list follows the 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
