The less unique river basins the less democratic the country
Fun fact, you can see most of the Norwegian-Swedish/Finnish border on this map. This is actually how the border is drawn. Of course there are a lot of exceptions.
Fascinating.
Southern Norway looks wrong. I think there are four adjacent river basins (Glomma, Rauma, Gaula and Orkla) with very similar colors.
denmark and iceland are both very colorful.
I was wondering about that green spot inside the pink Ebro Watershed and I just learned there is endorheic basin in Spain, albeit very little one, the Laguna de Gallocanta, which is apparently a salt pond. It’s interesting how uncommon endorheic basins are in Europe when compared to other continents.
Whoever picked up the colours for the basins of Wisła/Vistula and Odra/Oder, you have done an unfortunate job.
Danube gang strong let’s gooo
Poland didn’t change
What is this red huge basin? And yellow (orange-ish) – 2 biggest ones
10/10
Found my river on the map
I see a vague Austria-Hungary, a vague Poland, a vague Soissons and a vague Ukraine
I’m curious, how Many of the large rivers in Spain can you name?
I just realised i can barely name a few for some countries.

Interesting stuff.
The Neva (Lake Ladoga) basin is truly huge, I never really knew that the whole Eastern Finland was part of it.
Edit: It stretches from [Kainuu](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kainuu) (Finland) to the Northern parts of Belarus.
Puny Rhine river.
