As part of cooperation with the National Geographic Society, the general map of continents and oceans was revised and updated for the Slovenian edition of National Geographic. In addition, a short description of the basic characteristics of our planet was produced including tabular representations of the continents, oceans, and the land-sea ratios. This is the first time that the ocean name Antarktični ocean 'Antarctic Ocean’ and the allonyms Japonsko morje/Vzhodno morje ‘Sea of Japan/East Sea’ have been entered on a Slovenian map.
