: I'm doing some research for a Halo mod I'm working on, and I'm wondering what
: the Earth looks like in 2552 in terms of nations and borders. I found an
: interesting map from one of the Halo 2 sites back in the day portraying a
: Covenant depiction of Earth's states:

: Now, I'm not sure if those images are simply depictions of Earth's continents
: or actually portray its supranational entities, like the URNA. What I find
: interesting is that it doesn't depict the entire European Union. Neither
: entire Asia, as Russia isn't highlighted in the third image from the top.
: Could this mean that there is a supranational entity in 2552 that doesn't
: include Russia but only China+India+Arabian Peninsula?

: Look forward to your thoughts.

If it wasn't for Canada and Russia being (conspicuously) absent, I'd say these show continents with a significant number of people on them.
