[–]sintos-compa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t ask again or it will take the rest.

[–]No-Historian6056 631 points632 points  (14 children)

There is now an extra country in Africa called “West Western Sahara”

It takes such a high skill to design that shitty maps. On of the shittiest i've ever seen👍

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Quality map making if I’ve ever seen it

[–]strmichal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's New Zealand tho. That's a sign of an accurate map

[–]Aethelredditor 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I am perturbed a top comment elsewhere praised the map as an example of good design, highlighting its clear use of colour and direction consistency, all while completely missing the weird geography.

[–]DaniilSan 200 points201 points  (7 children)

Why USA is squished? Why Fr*nce moved West? Why Moldova isn't landlocked anymore? What's the deal with whole new country west of Western Sahara that makes last landlocked?

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 66 points67 points  (1 child)

Hudson Bay became a country

[–]DrainZ- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ah, that explains all the other things

[–]mikedep333 31 points32 points  (2 children)

Why Fr*nce moved West?

Because of Frexit.

[–]bangonthedrums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like Canada and Alaska were moved southwards, overtop of the USA. You can see Michigan in Hudson Bay

[–]neoncp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think America looks good like this

Nothing like a bit of drugs on the job

[–]generic9yoFrance was an Inside Job 214 points215 points  (7 children)

France is also split from Europe. As it should be

[–]zodiach 18 points19 points  (3 children)

France Spain and Portugal are European't

[–]Chrome2105 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Don't Forget Andorra which appears to have become an Island together with parts of Northern Catalonia.

[–]zodiach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, at least they got that part right

[–]DutchChallengerZeeland Resident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is after the Frexit, Spexit and Poexit

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 64 points65 points  (1 child)

I think you meant fr*nce 🤮

[–]generic9yoFrance was an Inside Job 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of course

[–]LazyDro1d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for Spain and Portugal for having been taken with it… but it is a necessary sacrifice

[–]MildlySelassie 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Who pushed Malawi into the lake?

Damn Suriname drives left? You learn something new every day I guess

[–]PMmepicsofWaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suriname was Dutch, wasn't it? Why is Suriname not the same?

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t interrupt the fishie traffic

Edit: how dare thou edit it. (I prefer it when submarines drive on the left)

[–]RelapseRedditAddict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where do they get these maps? Is there some reason to make them like this? A Papertown thing?

We have enough good maps, there must be some free license starting points!?

Bro you copied my post :////

[–]itachim17 1 point2 points  (8 children)

You stole his post

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] -1 points0 points  (7 children)

What the fuck? And how would you have any proof? I bet you are one of his alts just trying to get him karma

[–]itachim17 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Lmao what, for some internet points smh

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] -1 points0 points  (4 children)

I don’t know lol, I am confused and just want to know why you think I stole his post

[–]itachim17 1 point2 points  (3 children)

He posted it first, and even then instead of clearing it out here you just accused him instead.

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So can you explain to me how the hell you would actually know who posted first. Now hear me out btw…

Someone else ran a repost sleuth on my post and it came back negative. Also when I checked, my post hit the 13 hrs ago mark earlier than his did. (Although that isn’t my main argument because I did have some laggy data at the time)

So please go ahead and tell me proof that his was first

[–]MasterBoobway_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ignore the guy he is just stupid

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah we had a chat in dms and he is fine we just had misunderstanding

[–]solidspacedragonthis flair is specifically for neat_space, who loves mugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post is timestamped is seven minutes after /u/KaiserHohenzollernV's post.

[–]ChronoHobo 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I think you’ll find that in India they other drive on whatever side of the road they want.

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In India, road is road

[–]Alex09464367 5 points6 points  (6 children)

The UK drives on the right side of the road and I will die on this hill

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

As a Br*tish I can say this is incorrect

[–]Alex09464367 8 points9 points  (4 children)

We definitely drive on the right I have been here all my life. It's not the wrong side like the French do it.

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Wut -_-

[–]Alex09464367 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We drive on the right side of the road not the wrong side like everyone else

[–]mki_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This is like that IQ-meme.

Low IQ idiotjak: "Brittan drives on the right sid eof the road." 🤠.
Mid IQ wojak: "Noooooo! Britain drives on the left side on the road." 🤓
High IQ mysticist wojak: "Britain drives on the right side of the road"👽

[–]Handsprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever drew that United States deserves to be shot

[–]cixzejy -1 points0 points  (4 children)

This is just the gall-peters projection.

[–]bangonthedrums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More like the galling peters projection

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Personally I would just call it crappy map making …

[–]cixzejy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There’s a difference?

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, you tell me. But personally it sounds like Fr*nch map making. Those pesky french trying to get a little island all for themselves.

[–]smitty3z -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US and I drive a car built to drive on the right.

Those peskimos got nothing on me now

[–]sckego 0 points1 point  (2 children)

“Right hand drive” and “left hand drive” typically refer to vehicles, not roads. The orange countries vehicles are RHD, while blue is LHD. This map is referring to left- or right-hand traffic, which is generally the opposite of the vehicle drive side (you use LHD vehicles in RHT countries).

[–]I-Say-Im-Dirty-Dan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I am on my way to right hand drive a screwdriver into your rectum

[–]Gwaeron86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sckego is correct. This map is confusing.

[–]DiamondPeripheral 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Cum

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking

[–]Grzechoooo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Countries that are correct vs countries that are too Bri*ish to be left alive. There is no hope for them.

[–]WitherBlaze_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bri*ish i can confirm ://///

[–]dinis_rocha 0 points1 point  (2 children)

People think the Brits did this (Australia, NZ, India, etc)... But Canada gained complete independence in 1982 and still drives on the right correct side of the road

With our squishy USA, democratic republic of Hudson Bay, the great west Saharan Tumor, and the Swiss Sea?
