Strange Maps: Octopoidal Prussia

The above map is from Strange Maps, a sub-blog at Big Think. It is from the recent post: War is the National Industry of Prussia.

It's a very nice map. Now just imagine, for a moment, that those tentacles stretching outwards from Prussia were actual tentacles spreading out across the landscape from a cyclopean prehuman monstrosity dredged-up from the bottom of the sea by bent Prussian scientists who probably went to medical school next to Baron Frankenstein's kid Victor. What other European or Colonial Kaiju might be lurking in the depths of the oceans or in some uncharted territory like Maple White Land?

Something to think about on a drizzly day...
