Therapist: Wide Argentina isn't real, it can't hurt you Wide Argentina:
Excuse you, that's Wide Argentinia
heh. U R Gay.
I think I'd prefer this setup
You forgot Texas
I learned recently that the theme park "six flags" is short for six flags over Texas. One of those flags is the Confederate flag. They are celebrating being under the Confederate flag...at a theme park.
To be fair it's nowhere near the normal lost cause stuff. The other flags are Spain, Mexico, France, Texas, and the United States. They aren't specifically calling it out, it's just there, as one of the flags that flew over Texas.
Yeah. Never seen a confederate flag over the park itself.
UK and frnace now are México states
The Faroe Islands are Baja California!
Brazil stole the ~~suez~~ panama canal
I would have been more impressed if you had done it all as a mirror image of South America in the shape of Africa.
Even though it's the wrong continent, if OP did this by memory, their geography is great! There are many people that would need to look at a map.
Brazilians see this map and start tossing conspiracy theories about how fossil fuel cuts are a UN plot to seize the Sahara
Also is it me or do these borders look dangerously sensible for Africa?
I mean, these borders might make for an interesting alt-history scenario?
Hmm, yes, very Mexico.
You can tell by how it is.
I think French Guyana shoots different rockets here.
Madagascar belongs to Mozambique
Falkland Islands
Yes, this checks out.
Just the one Falkland, actually.
Embarrassed by how long it took me to realize it was not South America
I would've believed it if it wasn't for this comment
Seriously. I was like "okay, Brazil is in the right general area, but obviously the wrong shape. Argentina is definitely not there. Chile is along the coast, so I'll allow it. I honestly couldn't say what all the northern countries are, and... wait, what the hell is the north connecting to, that looks like the middle east.
Jesus Christ, that's Africa."
Brazil is no longer a state in Mexico after it moved to China.
OHH, it's Africa, I'm so fucking retarded.
Lol. I thought the Falkland Islands looked a lot like Madagascar I just somehow never looked at the rest of the map.
That was the clue for me
Yeah. At first I was like "hmm that is not that bad."
I'm glad you commented...
Mexico, you say? Pretty sure if Yakko saw this, he wouldn't start singing about countries. He'd just give the camera a disapproving head shake and say "I give up. You kids are on your own. Public schooling clearly isn't helping..." and walk off screen.
United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama Haiti, Jamaica, Peru...
...republic dominican, cuba, carribbean, greenland, el salvador, too!..
Asia ... wait a minute
The United States of Amexico
If you'd zoomed out a little more you could've included Ibiza to the north, where the Mayans started out before expanding north towards disneyland, or the Azores to the west, the base used by the Polynesians to obtain sweet potatoes from the Ghanaians.
Wait, where's the state of "Latin"?
in America, pay attention
I didn't realize Paraguay had 3 shores of Lake Titicaca. Great map!
Pretty amazing that Iguazu Falls and Victoria Falls ended up in roughly the same place!
Boy, I was really like, "But that isn't Mexico..."
I spent way too long thinking the biggest problem was that Argentina was in the wrong place. Technically, it was in fact in the wrong place.
I bless the rains down in Mexico! 🎶
Fuck. Ive got to go listen to this banger now. I haven’t heard it in years.
There was a cover recently that wasn't bad, but the original is best
