Puzzle Description:

Map of the Mediterranean Sea. The borders between countries kind of reflect the time between 1945 and 1992.

I may have guessed on the bottom left corner, but did edge logic and kept going until it turned out solved, so...I don't know that it required guessing.

By the way, I like the image. Even if you can't solve it by logic, you could probably solve it by profound knowledge of world geography, and shouldn't that be at least as good?

I'm certainly not claiming to be smarter than Jan (!), but I don't think I guessed! Did the image change?

The image has not been changed. At least not by me. At least not after it was published.

I has not been changed by anyone else either. (I never edit anyone else's puzzles - though, oh, I am sorely tempted sometimes when changing just a couple pixels would make a puzzle much better.)

lol I can see how that would be a temptation

I don't think I guessed either.

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

I think I'd have called this one "Almost a Roman Lake". One of the later Roman Emperors noticed that so much land had been conquered already, that a little bit more would allow Rome's territory to entirely surround the Mediterranean Sea. Things didn't go as planned because Rome fell and lost most of its territory before the conquest was complete. So it was *almost* a giant Roman lake.

What an amazing Pop!
