They keep finding ways to ramp up the drama. Here they used monochrome and just deleted the rest of the world entirely

PS what the fuck does black correspond to on that map? Or any of the colors, really. They don't vary linearly with elevation. There really isn't any way to estimate elevation at all based on that map. It just says "durrr mountains." Great example of how maps can be used as instruments of propaganda.

As someone with many years of experience fighting wars in that region (in EU4) I will say it is highly mountainous and the low development makes it very treacherous for an invading army
