Europe according to the stereotypes

Maps can be surprisingly sharp vehicles for satire, as Yanko Tsvetkov shows with his Mapping Stereotypes series. He has made up a dozen or so maps of Europe each labeled according to the stereotypes of a specific country or group. See examples below of the German outlook or click through for many more.  I love these and hope to see more – perhaps a version for the US? or even a global map? Can’t think of any place that isn’t richly inhabited with many grossly inaccurate stereotypes.
