Resolved Why does the NIO hex cloud look like a weird dog licking its butt?

So, while staring at the map, I started to see weird shapes and like the humans of ye olde times I saw pictures in the stars. The NIO hex cloud thingy looks a little like...well...see the title.

I am a noob with the map game. Is this because of the 4 unconquered hexes? What is up with that?

Brandyn Sal-Soren yes, the 4 hexes is why.

OK. Thanks. Still seems weird, but at least my instinct was correct there.

Oh my gods, the NIO gerrymandered the map!

Call the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor and the Senate

Political jokes aside, that's wierd
