Finding Georgia on a Map

[quadibloc]

I've seen one too many videos of passersby in the street asked to find countries on a blank world map, and failing horribly!
I finally decided to do something about it!
On my page at
http://www.quadibloc.com/maps/mmi0901.htm
I have added a map on the Winkel Tripel projection (possibly stretched vertically due to a programming error) of the world, showing not only national borders but some interal borders, in which Georgia is highlighted in red.
Yes, both of them.

That should get featured in the Bad Maps forum, titled: Polities named “Georgia”.

On another page of the part of my web site about world maps, I had placed a world map from 1910 on which the coast of Greenland looks essentially complete. I took a closer look at it today, and found that the coastline of Ellesmere Island, however, still wasn't quite finished.
And then I noticed that the northern part of that island was labelled "Grant Land".
I had never encountered that name before, and was curious. It turns out that it was named after Ulysses S. Grant, by an American explorer who first glimpsed the coastline of the northern part of that island.
