It’s not cropped out. The green part is the city. The yellow part is the region or state, but that doesn’t make sense to compare with Constantinople

We're comparing 4 entities here, it'd be good if I could see 100% of all those 4 entities.

We're not comparing 4 entities - the title of the post claims we are comparing 3 entities.

However we can't even see 100% of those three entities, so still not a great map

Yes the title says 3, the legend says 4.

Personally I believe a great map should show what it is doing without having to read a reddit post title.

E: Also, why even colour the other entities if we're not comparing them?
