Pretty sure that the spot in Africa refers to Gorilla City. (Gorilla Grodd, and all that).
I've never yet taken a hit from a bad guy skidding across the floor on his keister.

Since Barry Allen apparently never became the Flash, I believe we can assume Gorilla Grodd was relatively unopposed in his early efforts to gain power. Thus, Africa is now super-gorilla territory.
I'm more curious about how the Nazis came to control Brazil...

Wow. Looks like parts of Great Britain are still there, but Spain, France, Italy and some parts east (Germany even?) are now ocean! As is the greater part of North Africa (Egypt). Greenland and Iceland also appear to have had heavy losses.
Veeeery interesting.
Undead territory? S'funny, the parts of Flashpoint I'm the most interested in all seem to be like tertiary plot elements.

Flashpoint refers s to the summer event DC is doing which Stars Barry Allen and Thomas Wayne (Yes that's not a typo). Main Premise is that presumably, Professor Zoom went running rampant and altered history. Only Barry Allen and Booster Gold know that everything is wrong.

Did a look up myself. Don't follow comics all that much, but concept wise, seems interesting,
Thank you for the time...

Simply labelling it "Under Grodd's control" would have removed all controversy.

That's because we have our army of mutant kangaroos and drop bears.

Yeah, I have to admit this is what made me do a double take when I read it. I was around when Howard Cossell used the term monkey when doing play-by-play for MNF, and I guess that stuck with me....|

Regarding Flashpoint, make sure to get the newest Boster Gold - it takes place in this brave, new world and has a great ending!

Apes have been in charge of most land areas on Earth for quite some time now. (Because humans are, in fact, apes.)
This is a cool way to generate some more buzz around Flashpoint. While I love what they did with Alaska and Europe, I am scratching my head over how Africa is labeled....
