Great map - nice one :)

Though (heh, there's always one, sorry ;)
..the European map entries seem a little out of place?  There doesn't seem
to be that many in, for example, the south-east of England (one of the most
densely populated areas - including London, as well as where I live [and
submitted]) doesn't seem to have anyone.  There does appear, however, to be
at least a couple of people living 70 or so miles out at sea... one off the
coast of Wales and another the coast of Ireland.

Now if the locations (for the UK at least) where shifted a little east and
south - then not only would these people reach dry land again, but the
south-east would look a bit more populated.  OK.. I know there population
density doesn't necessarily have anything to do with where POV users
"should" be.. but it just seemed to make a bit more sense when combined with
the sea-people problem :)

OK.. so maybe I'm just being pedantic - either way, still a very well made
and interesting map Bob :)
