This is actually a pretty important consideration for actual historical mapping. Another point of clarity wherein I would like to beg your forgiveness is the errant use of modern political boundaries for showing historical data (even when the historical data is all zeros); many of these countries did not even exist in 1968. But I appreciate your willingness to play along.
