Altered Maps ΙΓ: To make a map larger than what it maps.

[Kyriakos]

The criterias for the film map are explained and verifiable.
Pan's Labyrinth and Tis kakomoiras are the highest rated films according to the criteria.
The Danish film Jagten should be The Hunt in English, The Celebration is another film by the same director.

Uh, you are talking about a stat made of the huge number of views by... 10 users? (number of the imdb reviews for that entirely crappy film)

No, this map is a joke, as said

 

[Weik]

Reviews have nothing to do with the IMDb rating.

"What if the largest countries had the biggest populations?":

How is that Brazil, the USA and Ireland are apparently in precisely the right locations? I call shenanigans!

And Israel got relocated to Greece (Kyriakos will be happy! ).

Bangladesh only crossed the border and landed in India.

Poland is in South Africa (you were all wrong).

If Mid-Atlantic ridge was "more active":

USA #3

I don't know if I can get used to India as our hat. I'm so used to wearing Canada.

Now that's a pretty clever map if you ask me. S it seems at any rate Vietnam has relocated from the steamy jungles of IndoChina to the frozen wastelands of Greenland...

And Israel got relocated to Greece (Kyriakos will be happy! ).

I don't think Kyriakos would be happy with Greece being thrown into West Africa, though.

I can be happy living in Spain. I wonder what the Map would look like according to economic output and size of land.

 

[Civ'ed]

What's the country in the Netherlands?

 

[really]

Armenia

 

[danjuno]

From the synopsis I read, Once doesn't really seem like it'd be a real fit next to some of the other movies other countries are represented by on the map. I'd much rather nominate The Wind That Shakes The Barley, The Commitments, or The Guard.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Kebab nationalism ahoy!

Such a map from 1942 (showing one of possible variants of post-WW2 new world order):

This map was published by Maurice Gomberg and his team in Philadelphia in 1942:

Notice "Quarantined Germany", which is part of the Soviet Union (USSR) in Gomberg's map.

Check also point 34. of the notes ("Our Policy shall be this") to this 1942 map, which says:

"34. All persons of German origin in East Prussia and the Rhineland shall be transfered to inner Germany and the regions permanently de-Prussianized."

And point 35. says:

"35. All persons of German, Italian and Japanese origin shall be permanently expelled from their now conquered territories and their property confiscated for post-war reconstruction needs."

=====================

Point 38. says:

"38. To reduce the numerical power of the aggressor nations, as a potential military advantage, a Population Control Policy shall be elaborated and applied in the quarantined areas."

 

[Kyriakos]

We also need Bulgaria and Fyromia, and more importantly eastern Thrace

The rest look good.

 

[Arakhor]

That map is absolutely ridiculous. It's as if they were playing EU3 and got carried away with painting the map.

 

[Domen]

Check also "Hebrewland" which covers much more land than modern Israel according to this map.

Point 26. of notes at the bottom explains:

"26. The area of the Holy Land of the ancient Hebrews, at present known as Palestine and Trans-Jordan, and the adjacent requisite regions as outlined on map, for considerations of history and the imperative necessity to alleviate a post-war refugee problem, shall be unified as a demilitarized independent Republic of 'Hebrewland'."

 

[Arakhor]

Compared to the utter rubbish going on in that map, that's (literally) a mere footnote.

 

[cybrxkhan]

What in the name of Davy Jones' locker is going on in that map?

Vietnam? Part of China? Me no comprehend.

That map is absolutely ridiculous. It's as if they were playing EU3 and got carried away with painting the map.

That's one way to put it.

Compared to the utter rubbish going on in that map, that's (literally) a mere footnote.

It's frankly one of the more plausible suggestions on that map, sad as that sounds.
