Why is the Crimean Peninsula marked as Russia on the map?

By the way, Greenland is Denmark.

I don’t understand the logic of the person who made this map.

On the map, France and French Guiana share a total number of users in the statistics because it's all France, even though they are thousands of kilometers apart.

But Greenland isn’t marked as Denmark? So it belongs to no one, right?
Does it never appear in the statistics?

Good points! As I understand it, topoJSON generally adheres to the ISO 3166-1 standard for country codes, which includes Greenland (GL) separately, so it does show up if someone from GL hits your server. For instance, I believe MaxMind's GeoIP databases classify Guam as a distinct entity from the United States, assigning it its own country code.
