Actually the red splotch at the southwest of the map is
Portugal (the closest European country to the USA).
The blue spots represent the states of
Andorra,
Monaco,
Liechtenstein, the
Vatican, and
San Marino.
The map also spots Amsterdam (the official capital) and
The Hague (the capital
de facto) in the Netherlands.
What seams to be the capital of the Mediterranean sea, is actually Valletta, the capital of
Malta.
