So Long, British Empire, Where Sun Never Set

Sun set there on March 21st, 2024.

France still has Overseas Collectivities and Overseas Territories in Atlantic, Pacific and Indian ocean, meaning sun is still shining there (unless it is very cloudy.)

The third global empire, Spain, lost its status as Empire where Sun never sets on 1898 (lost a war and Philippines to USA.) Based on a rotating map (and my unreliable eyes), the other contenders, Dutch, Germans, Portuguese and Russians apparently did not at their peak reach sufficiently around the globe to always remain within daylight borders

So it looks like the French won the Game of Empires. For now.

(Countries with overseas military bases, like USA, do not count. The territories have to be internationally recognized colonies or dependencies officially under full or partial rule of the empire.)
