Altered Maps XVI: Gerardus Mercator Must Die

[GoodSarmatian]

Bad Map.
German girls aren't uglier than girls in other countries.
Complicated, overengineered, high maintenance and prone to failure, but not as bad as our machines.

 

[BenitoChavez]

A lot of countries that don't even get a stereotype. Won't someone think of Albania!?

 

[cardgame]

The slightly broken English seems legit, on the other hand, why is it in English at all?

 

[r16]

'cause it's by Anglos and who expects Anglos to speak anything but ?

and for Albania , they couldn't fix "More Benzes per capita than Germany" in the little place available .

 

[Arakhor]

It's on the internet, so it's in English.

 

[Kyriakos]

It's on the internet, so it's in English.

That is also because many countries have their own closed-up webs, including forums and social media. We just happen to be in the "west" one.

 

[Traitorfish]

This is supposedly "Europe according to latin americans"



Seems a bit suspect, Watson.

Scotland labelled "whiskey". With an "e".

That is some grandmaster-level trolling, that is.

Not seeing how (some of) Essex is part of civilization.

Not seeing how (some of) Essex is part of civilization.

Not hearing the 'comical accent' either -- unless the mapmakers think chavs sound funny (innit)?

Personally I would have painted that blob 'unpleasant' -- but then again, I'm firmly in the 'stuck up and pretentious' bracket (which I can't really argue against)...

 

[Arakhor]

I live in the intersection between stuck up, comical and unpleasant accents and I'm definitely the first. I agree though - Essex accents are the worst.

 

[Kyriakos]

 

[Traitorfish]

Describing Galloway as the "spare bit of Scotland" is probably truer than the creator realised. It's not really the Borders, it's not really the Lowlands, it's not really the Gàidhealtachd... It's just sort of there, in case we need it for something.

 

[Lohrenswald]

what's the deal with it being cut off like that

 

[Kyriakos]

 

[brennan]

And slovenia is Italian because...?

 

[Kyriakos]

And slovenia is Italian because...?

I suppose that Italy is also a S.R. in this scenario, so got more land?

 

[r16]

come on , ı can just link a rant of mine from 2011 showing how the West was ready to "give" far more to New Turkey .

 

[Kyriakos]

Another altered Europe and surrounding stuff:



And one which looks far worse (check the Italy-Germany-France border) :

Moderator Action: We have a Cool Pictures thread for a reason. This thread is purely for altered maps.
