A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Uh, shouldn't California have fallen into the ocean? It's at fault... or something

I live in Kansas City. I would love this outcome. We'd be that Tijuana of Canada.

Cede the entire area to a new "national park" a park the size of the Old United States.

Else, combine Baja and California to California Grande.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

California Grande.

We need this.

except NO humans allowed at all

Why not Canexico? Or Mexida?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I'd settle for Earthanadexico

Wait, Why is Maryland White? Somebody take Maryland damnit!

Either way I get affordable healthcare, then it's either tacos or poutine, and I'm NGL I could go either way on that.

A more realistic map may be blue, and blue if right option/candidate, contiguous regions of US joining Canada, and the more common pre-election GOP threat of remaining US invading Mexico and then assimilated into red US.

I like how the Carolinas are Canadian. It's like the map maker knew they're too racist to even try giving to Mexico.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They're going to have a great time with the deep south and the sun belt, though. We got the better end of this deal, even if the level of new population means we basically are going to be America again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Where's the Gulf of the United States of America though?!

For a second I was wondering why Manitoba got to absorb so many states.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mexico can't afford to fuck with CA's GDP power, so yeah, I'm okay with this. I'd rather be part of Canada, though. They seem kind.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It's a simple vice. Poutine or burritos, choose wisely

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Hold on. Why does Mexico get the worse part of the USA?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They need the Carolinas for the full set.

In 2020 election, GOP said Biden would do this because he's a communist. But they only said this in Miami. Blue margin for Miami was successfully diminished by Cuban vote, and FL was no longer a swing state.

This wouldn't be so bad for new england

While I would honestly prefer this to our current situation, I vote we Europeanize things instead. Single continent North American Union, but instead of 3 meganations, we instead go fully independent for each state in the us and Mexico, and each province in Canada. But with free travel between the new, much smaller nations. Let's see how fast these conservative ass states who love to boast about their fucking fiscal responsibility last before collapsing and getting a bailout that requires they start offering fucking healthcare.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good idea, only a tiny correction: North America goes down to Panama and includes the Caribbean.

But the EU doesn't include all of Europe as well, so ¯\⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Keep Ohio independent, like a fucked up Switzerland

We'll just go to war with Michigan again if that happens

I have my doubts that a Republic of Sinaloa and the Grand Dutchy of Jalisco are going to work out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

There would likely need to be some reordering in the build up to The Great Dissolution and New Unionization

Proud new Canadian checking in!

Hmm, can we go halfsies on California, if no deal, we could maybe take florida off your hands to sweeten the deal, we have a couple friends here florida could play with. Might keep them both busy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Mexico wouldn't be willing to go halvsies on their former territory that would be the most profitable territory that they are regaining. Especially since "states rights" aren't a thing anymore, so Florida and Texas can go suck dick when it comes to Federal Laws in Mexico, which outlawed slavery the day they wrote their Constitution.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (4 children)

You know neither of them wanted Tennessee.

Kentucky? Bourbon.

Texas? Barbeque.

Florida? Beaches.

What's Tennessee got?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They call themselves the volunteer state? I don't think anyone had the heart or patience to explain that enslaving human beings isn't a form of volunteerism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Tennessee has some of the best whiskey produced in the US, they also have some banging mustard based BBQ, and chutney based BBQ.

Oh, and Dolly Motherfucking Parton.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Shitty liquor store moonshine that's no where near as good as real moonshine, and Dolly Parton.

I guess Memphis style barbecue, if you're into that. I'm not. Prefer my BBQ to be SC mustard base, a la Maurices (though, I won't spend money there anymore). TN does have some damn fine fried chicken, though.
