Is it considered cheating to look at a map? Seems to easy if so.

Great question! Is it the center of a convex hull containing the extent of territories? Or would you weight it by population? Is it in two dimensions on the surface of the Earth, or in three dimensions? Consider the possible “center” of France. There’s probably some village in France proper with a monument, but unless you eject Guiana and Réunion I think it must be in the Atlantic somewhere.
Territories (eg French Guiana) are specifically separated in Worldle, even being possible answers themselves. Also, this is a map game, so for me it's pretty intuitive that it is the center of the hull. Maybe with some error due to projection (not sure how they implemented the map), but should not be a problem for solving the puzzle.
I think French Guiana is not a territory, it's a full department in France. Equal to Hawaii in the US as far as I know, but I'm not 100% sure.

> Also, this is a map game, so for me it's pretty intuitive that it is the center of the hull. I don't follow. How does this being a map game make it intuitive that the distance outputs are based on hull centers? To me, closest border would seem be the most intuitive reading of the distance...this being a map game. If you poll 10 random people, I guarantee 10/10 would say that they consider borders to be the intuitiv…
For the arrow hint to work at all, countries need to be a single point. I intuitively assumed the hull centre without really thinking about it.
> For the arrow hint to work at all, countries need to be a single point.
First of all; no, not at all. The arrow hint can work if countries are considered a mass, not a point, it simply means that there can be times when there are any number of correct arrow designations.
Second of all, even if countries are considered as single points for the arrow hint, that is not the issue being presently discussed: that of the distance hint, which is a separate hint from the arrow hint. Countries can be considered as single points for the arrow hint, and as masses for the distance hint.

#86Trying to pronounce this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done
You could say "worldly". It doesn't have to rhyme with the other game Wordle.

That’s my understanding too. Something about Napoleon wanting to be egalitarian. Has the interesting side-effect that France is both the western-most and eastern-most country in the EU.
