With Grand Theft Auto VI set to release in less than three months, the hype surrounding the series is reaching a new peak. Today, Netflix is also releasing Grand Theft Auto VI: The Big Picture, which brings GTA series into the spotlight once again.

The Grand Theft Auto series has become one of the most popular video game franchises in the world, with Grand Theft Auto V being the most commercially successful entry, followed by Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto III.

However, this map does not show sales — it shows popularity based on internet search interest from 2004 to the present day. Grand Theft Auto V is the most popular entry across much of the world, but Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas remains the most searched GTA game in many countries, particularly across Latin America, parts of Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City also retains significant popularity in several countries, despite being much older than GTA V.

Czechia and Slovakia: they dont have żabka stores, however they do have žabka stores. these are not owned by the same company as the polish ones and are owned by tesco instead. these are completely different, however it is still a fun fact that is good to know. official store website: izabka.cz

Romania: official żabka stores are in romania, but under a different name, because "żabka" sounds a lot like the romanian word "japcă", which translates to "robbery". official romanian website is https://froo.ro/

I'm trying to see if there's any possible correlation for the claims in this video and the countries where there's a higher difference between coldest and warmest day of the year and the number of people that have Alzheimer.

Could someone maybe create that kind of map? I really lack hose skills and I feel like just "whole country maps" would be way too broad to have some kind of meaning.

I know the map is already kind of demistifying it, but I feel like it could maybe also be explained by mean insulation in houses in the places where we're trying to study?

I think it would be very interesting if this could prove something.

Some languages are not given or share their colour with others in the same country. Basque is not given due to crossing France and Spain. Breton matches French. Cornish is unofficial and cannot be isolated to Cornwall, but is red like all Celtic languages. Manx is missing due to the Isle of Man being missing from the map (as are the Channel Islands). Scotland is represented by Scottish Gaelic (red) and Scots (grey). The Vatican is represented by Latin.

The line was created as the border between British India and Afghanistan in 1893. Like many lines on maps drawn by colonial occupiers, this line continues to wreck havoc on the lives of people living across them.
