Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : In Vladimir Putin's Russia, the government has used anti-extremism laws to clamp down on maps that question whether Crimea, annexed from Ukraine in 2014, or the Kuril Islands, seized from Japan in 1945, belong to Russia.
49% : Down the centuries, maps have served ideological, imperialistic, religious and cultural purposes more often than impartial scholarship -- as Mark Monmonier, a US geographer, sets out in his book, How to Lie with Maps.
43% : Come to think of it, could Denmark avoid ceding Greenland to the US, as Trump wants, by using maps to flatter his ego?
