randoot OP ,

I was expecting this one to be interactive but then I noticed the alt text. I’m not a geography nerd who’s going to explain this one

Working from the bottom left… California, Arizona, New Mexico… Wtf?

The map looks correct at first glance, but he’s added another 14 states by drawing the borders wrong XD

Not American, but I assume it’s wrong in some subtle and hilarious way?

    Yeah, he's got Minnesota in there but totally left out Megasota

    Two Tennessees, but no nineessee

    Texoklahoma is up by Midsouthdakota?

    North-West Virginia isn't even a thing no matter what those weirdos say

    The weird strip of land in the Great Lake

    Removed Whodaho and added "Idaho"? WTF is Idaho?

    It's got the state we all agreed doesn't exist?

    kool_newt ,

    Glad Orejon is included though.

    NeoNachtwaechter ,

    And where is Mickeysota?

    ricecake ,

    Bunch of extra states with similar shapes to existing states, so it messes with your eye and kinda blends in.

    Might be harder to do with a map of Africa, Asia, Europe or south America because there aren’t as many straight line borders and things are a bit more curvy.

    tygerprints ,

    I see what you mean about this map being anomalous. Some of the states seem to be doubled, I wondered where they got that 64 states figure from!! My bad!

    i got all the way to kentucky before i spotted the issue

    tygerprints ,

    Unless you're including all the minor islands and territories, the U.S. only has 50 states to speak of. I know I could identify my state, Texas, Hawaii, California and a couple others. If there are people who can name up to 50 states and where they are on a map, that's pretty damn impressive!

    InquisitiveApathy ,

    Look a little closer at the map.

    I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to do it. I have faith.

    tygerprints ,

    I did finally. My bad for not spotting the anomalies right off. See, your wonderful christian attitude was so helpful.

    Why are you giving Christianity a monopoly on faith?

    tygerprints ,

    I think in this country, Christianity does have a monopoly on faith. And monopoly is a good word to use, because religion is really just big business and those who make the most money hold all the cards.

    NeoNachtwaechter ,

    Calm down. Yes, of course there are a few people who can, but fortunately most of them live in that small part of the world that is still outside the US.

    tygerprints ,

    That's true. I doubt most U.S. citizens could actually name most of the states or their locations on a map of the U.S. All I'm saying is that if they can, that's pretty impressive - because so many young people today can't even name a country at random.

    I don’t know if that’s West Ohio or East Indiana, but either way, it is a crime against nature

    HopingForBetter ,

    We're always as war with East Asia Indiana.

    An Ohio without Columbus is an Ohio I want to be a part of.

    Gork ,

    Ah yes the great states of Arkansas and Arkan’tsas, of Kansas and Kan’tsas.

    Old Hampshire is surprisingly close to the original Zealand.
