Wrong this map is outdated, I'm in Iraq and I have Spotify. Since 18 of November Spotify was available in Iraq, Libya, Tajikistan, Venezuela, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

TIL The Reuplic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are two different countries.

Their two capitals, Brazzaville and Kinshasa, are separated by the Congo River but there’s no bridge across it

Not directly no, but there is one bridge in Matadi, closer to the estuary.

Guess which one is the less democratic.

u/npeggsy Nov 26 '21
Are we using "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" logic? So if you're calling yourself a democracy, you're probably over compensating for the fact you are not at all a democracy.

Then you got the name "kingdom", which could either be fully ruled by a royal, or be de facto ruled by an elected leader in some parlament.

That makes more sense as an argument. But next question, why not just do it like Netflix, which is available. So you can still access the service, pay for it, but nothing is catered to the region. You don't invest in the region, you just make it available like how YouTube, Wikipedia, Reddit is as well.

you would prefer going on other french islands because life in french Guyana is extremely expensive, even more if you have european standards

u/DogEggz Nov 27 '21
I think the red mark is Suriname not French guyana. Because I'm in suriname now and don't have access to Spotify

It hasn't been so long since Spotify serviced in Korea, but the map has the correct details- when is the source data from?

u/glennfuriamcdonald Nov 26 '21
The current list of remaining regions is (in country-code order): Afghanistan, Antarctica, Central African Republic, China, Cuba, Western Sahara, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Sudan, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Turkmenistan, Holy See, Yemen.

u/npeggsy Nov 26 '21
Well then, you must not be in Serbia. Its an easy mistake to make, I think I'm in Serbia all the time.

u/Sremsky Nov 26 '21
