The large "Asia" region contains, besides Asian topics (the right half of the region): - Language learning communities - Latin America (except Brazil which is in the RPG region because of r/TibiaMMO) - Italy, Spain and Portugal (the latter is located between China and Japan for mysterious low-dimensionality representation reasons) Other European countries with funny locations: - Germany in the soccer region (as Gary Lineker once famously said "Football is a simple game: 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and, in the end, the Germans always win") - France in the Canada region (Quebec strong) - The Netherlands in the EDM region

>Portugal (the latter is located between China and Japan for mysterious low-dimensionality representation reasons) could that have a real world reason given that Macau used to be a Portuguese colony as well as Brazil hosting the largest Japanese diaspora population in the world?

  Seems to be pure chance. r/brasil and others are in a very different place in the graph, and none of the subreddits related to r/portugal are connected to any of the Japanese/Chinese subreddits in the graph.

  Unlikely, because virtually nobody in Macau speaks Portuguese anymore, and Reddit is not well known in Japan. Various Japan-related subreddits are very popular, but they're populated by English speakers living in Japan, travelling to Japan, etc.

Cats contains the plant related reddits, and is tied to them via r/CatsAndPlants (fair enough). It visibly looks like plants are also connected via r/michaelbaygifs, but that is only because of really odd placement for r/UnexpectedThugLife. It would be nice if the shown links were not restricted to a single "country", as I bet r/dogsandplants (which is part of Cats) is tied to a bunch of dog reddits, but those are not shown.
