World map with the title "Only 22 countries have never been invaded by Britain" and sub-heading "Countries invaded by Britain throughout history". Every country on the map is blue, except for 22 countries which are gray. Beneath the map is a list of the 22 countries and their flags: Andorra, Belarus, Bolivia, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mali, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Mongolia, Paraguay, Republic of Congo, Sweden, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Vatican City. Beneath the list of countries is the text "Source: All the Countries We've Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To" and beneath that are icons indicating the image is licensed "Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives" (a license which i am violating by writing this alt text) and finally in the lower right is the logo of the clickbait infotainment website Statista where this image originated.
