    Note: these are **not** the European companies in the Global Fortune 500, but the companies in the European Fortune 500.

    The number on the map tells you how many companies headquartered in the country are in the European Fortune 500; the name which has the largest revenue among those. For example, Poland has 8 companies in the European Fortune 500, the largest by revenue being Orlen.

  2. Seeing Stellantis in the Netherlands makes me livid. This shit must be stopped at a certain point.

  3. I thought Novo was Denmark largest company not Maersk??

  4. Is nobody concerned that a lot of these are cars/fossil fuel companies?

  5. Huh, I thought that Scotland, Northern Ireland and England were separate countries (which appears correct?), but the UK also sounds like it is considered a country. TIL.

    Is it Northern Ireland that is a tax haven? Would be interesting to compare its share of companies, perhaps by GDP/population or similar.

    Also interested in what map projection it’s using. I don’t think I’ve seen Russia look like that before. (Edit: possibly just a rotated mercator?)

  6. France threw me for a minute till I realised “Total” was the company.

  7. The color scale to me looks like 30-36 is the top range, as it stands out way more than the actual top color.

  8. I wish we could have the same chart adjusted for population!

  9. It’s really heartening to see Poland finally catching up after being hobbled for ~35 years.

    Hopefully the new government coalition can focus on what matters. (if you have economic growth, you have progress in every other area… unless you’re China)

  10. Am avut companiile de energie ale lui Iosif Constantin Dragan, dar l.au merlit securistii si i.au furat averea. Butan Gas parca ii zicea?

  11. EU-countries with petro companies in the first place are noobs.

  12. I see oil and gas… and gasoline cars. China is going to sweep this away
