Magnetic north is variable, and curved. It's not even accross continents and changes over time. So the map is distorted so that up on the 2D plane of the drawing is magnetic north... Meaning all the countries and shapes are distorted so that magnetic north at those locations matches up in the drawing.
They're drawn so that magnetic north is the top border of the image.
I think the red arrows are pointing out how shapes are being deformed, because the changes are relatively subtle.
Well yeah, the Cardassians were using slave labour in death camps for a reason.
The Nazi had the stabbed in the back myth because their economy was through the floor.
In a way Capitalism is the source of all death camps, all slavery. King Leopald thought he'd collect more money the more brutal he was. The Pilgrams were hungry and racist enough to perpetuate genocide.
Let me tell you something about Humans, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holo-suites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people… will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
Or the quicker way: the government nationalises all power companies, and sold electricity for cheap... Because it's necessary.... For society...
