Nick Kapur, a US-based professional historian specializing in Japan, has made a map of Japanese stereotypes of European countries, based on Japanese Google autocomplete suggestions.

Not every country in Europe was represented by Japanese-language Google autocomplete:

@XENON312O @MegaMogwai I searched for Slovenia but unfortunately the autocomplete didn't return any non-tourism related results in Japanese. — Nick Kapur (@nick_kapur) April 25, 2016

Google autocomplete also delivered some mysterious results that Kapur then incorporated into his map:

@Paninodesu Yeah, I was confused by that myself, actually, but after digging around, it seems to be some sort of “polandball” reference. — Nick Kapur (@nick_kapur) April 25, 2016

Kapur's map is similar to another map from 2015 that used Baidu, China's dominant search engine, to finish half-written questions about different provinces in China.
