Revolutions, Civil Wars, Internecine fighting, Coups and the Arab Spring.
It's all pretty messy out there, and I can't help but feel it always will be. As a Cartographer I sometimes suggest that these are welcome developments, generating work to revise all of our maps. But it's a double-edged sword, as the cost to human life is often so high.
Add to that the potential for conflict caused by Global Warming, and you start to wonder what the future may hold.
So in these uncertain times lets wish the world's newest country - South Sudan - a stable and fruitful future.
Here's a new World Map for all you lazy Cartographers out there.
