are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other.
Free
nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."

There's a white spot in Sweden (inside the Arctic circle):
https://www.google.com/maps/place/68%C2%B022'37.0%22N+20%C2%B055'10.9%22E/@68.3766825,20.9188504,490m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0
My first guess was a frozen lake, but other lakes in the area are
clearly not frozen. Then I found this: follow the road east about 3000
feet, then take the spur to the north. What's THAT cluster?!
A bit further north we find this: https://www.google.com/maps/place/68%C2%B022'37.0%22N+20%C2%B055'10.9%22E/@68.4549658,21.0819801,622m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0
I scouted around a bit and found more solitary white circles, and more green-brown clusters, and in every case, roads go to them. (I just realized, I'm assuming those are roads, but it's possible they are caribou/reindeer trails. Leads to interesting thoughts.)
Anyone know what these things are? They don't stand up from the surface much, they are flat. There are villages in the vicinity, but at a (safe?) distance from the spots, and roads go to the spots. I'm not sure they're villages, either - they're widely scattered houses along the roads.

Weird.

I see a dropped pin to the midst of a sea of beige.
It took me a while to figure out what you meant. You're looking at it too close, maybe on a too-small screen? Zoom out, or, better, use a laptop.
