    It made me think about that “maps only need 4 colors” (I don’t remember the proper name, but it’s an idea that maps with political borders can paint every state/country/whatever using 4 different colors and you’ll never get the same color bordering another), seems like the perfect opportunity to see if it applies here

      Here’s a way to do it https://i.imgur.com/YULx0sg.jpeg

      East Africa and the Balkans took a little bit of figuring out

      Edit: and sure enough, there’s actually a mistake in East Africa. DR Congo and Tanzania shouldn’t be the same colour. I think it can be fixed with the following changes:

      • Eritrea, Somaliland, and Kenya > green
      • Djibouti and Somalia > blue
      • Ethiopia > red
      • Tanzania > cyan
      • Zambia > blue
      • Mozambique > red
      • Malawi and Eswatini > green
