Background info
The map used in the original "The Cage" was published in the early 1960s. The landmass of Africa in the equatorial circle and north to the Mediterranean was seen on a political map of the northern hemisphere. Decades later, the map used in the remastered "The Cage" was a Central Intelligence Agency map published either in April 2007 [1] or September 2008 [2]. The difference, which was not noticeable at the resolution of the image from the episode, was the addition of Kosovo, which gained its independence between the releases. From 2007 on, there was a remark about claimant rights to Antarctica; the next release was in January 2011 (two years after the "The Cage" remastered was broadcast). [3] The United Nations had divided Africa into five subregions. [4] Capitals and major cities were from the CIA maps.
