      TIL: jamón en portugués es «presunto»

      I would have read it as: jamón, presunto? supuesto? tal vez? quién sabe.

      They would be the exact same size if Portugal didn’t have that Lisboa sized gap by its western border

            There is no one accepted standard for a Lisboa. All Lisboas are beautiful in their own right.

    This is surprising to a lot of people because everyone is used to seeing mercator projection maps, which skew the true size of countries
