This map shows the global superpowers described in George Orwell’s 1984, but does this map truly reflect the political state of the world in the novel or is it just another form of Party propaganda?
User LupivTheGreat posted this map to reddit, and fellow redditor dr_van_nostrand_MD provides an apt description of its reality within the world of 1984:
It’s fictitious in the sense that George Orwell made it up, but it’s also fictitious in the sense that it could have been just another lie that the government created. There isn’t any evidence in the book that this is actually how the world is structured. For all we know the UK in 1984 could be like North Korea today; just a small isolated state that has effectively brainwashed their population.
