Why are Russia, Central Asia, Mongolia, and the Caucasus "Asia Major", and East Asia and South Asia "Asia Minor"? I also think it's weird they split Eastern and Western Europe since Germany and Bulgaria (EDIT: and Poland(EDIT2: and Belarus Ukraine, and Latvia, but they're colored orange as if theyre included in "Asia Minor")) are the only countries I see from the region in the circle. Also Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan being in the "Middle East" seems weird to me.

Ah, I was thinking of Bulgarian and wondering how it could fit in this graph.
