After COVID began its rapid spread throughout the world, though, international travel plummeted, and nations across the world hardened their borders.

Our maps may no longer be stalked by dragons and monsters, but our perceptions of the world are still shaped by geographic myths. Myths like Europe being the center of the world. Or that border walls are the solution to migration. Or that Russia is predestined to threaten its neighbors.
