This is NUTS 2

@AlexSelbyB Does each country define NUTS autonomously (I assume Germany is along Länder?)

@hhesterm They are "established by Eurostat in agreement with each member state, but do not necessarily correspond to administrative divisions within the country", apparently

@AlexSelbyB What *is* it?

@DawnHFoster It is a slightly regrettable pun (it just shows regions called NUTS, aka 'nomenclature des unités territoriales statistiques'). We lost our NUTS when we left the EU

@AlexSelbyB About three people will get this joke and I so respect you for going ahead anyway

@ladyhaja Niche is nice

@AlexSelbyB @JonnElledge 11/10

@AlexSelbyB I believe everything this is saying. I don’t think the colours go far enough to be honest.

@AlexSelbyB We have international territorial level 1s now thank you.

@AlexSelbyB @JonnElledge Cc @_adwardian_ I think you’ll like these maps

@AlexSelbyB Color me confused🤪

@AlexSelbyB

@AlexSelbyB @philipgowenlock Thank you - this is exactly my kind of humour. I really appreciate the nerdiness of this pun.

@AlexSelbyB You forgot Albania and Serbia though. ;)

@AlexSelbyB @JonnElledge What is it?

@AlexSelbyB Nice one.

@AlexSelbyB What happened to Northumbria/Northumberland? No colour

@AlexSelbyB @JonnElledge @simongerman600 bad geography joke
