A screenshot of Essen’s official homepage.

The city of Essen is located in Germany’s industrial Ruhr region, which is like Europe’s black lung. I lived there for a while, during an internship I did with a German newspaper. I had a great time, even despite the relentlessly gray surroundings.

And so it was acutely painful for me to see that the official page of the city of Essen boasts a bizarre map of Europe, in which all the former republics of Yugoslavia seem to be underwater — leaving Albania as an inexplicable island.

I’ve seen plenty of geographic novelties, but Slovenia-as-Atlantis is a new one. It’s almost commendable in its creativity.

(Thanks Rox!)
