However, I am rather surprised that you included only the countries that are in the European Union. This means (off the top of my head) that Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro are left out, leaving some 'holes' in the map. I am not sure that the governance of internet domain names is in any way related to whether a country is a member of the EU or not... Is this intentional or rather from a US perspective: EU = Europe? I like the layout and colors of the map.
