I see some hating on the Czechs there
Only if the map includes Czechia and Poland.

I'd like to see a version of this map that is properly in proportion to population, such that Andorra is bigger than the US.

Well, Pakistan has Afghanistan next door and IIRC Afghanistan is the country that has the most emigrants.
I think so.
Australia is surprisingly small on that map.
Edit: Also, that's not Nigeria there. That's Cote D'Ivoire.
After the passage of healthcare and Obama's re-election, the Teabaggers have had enough. The Southern states lead by Glenn Beck secede, Texas lead by Rick Perry secedes and Alaska lead by Sarah Palin. Obama forcibly expels Utah and the Plain states from the Union, but agressively invades and conquers Canada, Greenland, and Iceland and takes all of his 2008 states . Castro dies and wills his country to Obama who annexes it and Haiti, Dominican Republic and much of the Carribean and seizes New Orleans and the panhandle. With an alliance with Chavez they dominate much of the region. Moose Queen Palin faces Putin looming over Alaska.
The future is grim for Teabaggers.

Why have the separate confederacies not united into one lead by President Palin, Vice President Beck, and Secretary of Everything Rick Perry? Nice Hitler Moustaches, though.
And Chavez = Doubleplusungood. He is not true socialist, he just concentrates power in his own hands.

map of the legality of corporal punishment in Europe and US.
Red is Corporal punishment allowed.
Blue is corporal punishment banned in schools only
Green is corporal punishment banned in school and home.
So in France teachers can inflict corporal punishment
Viva le'france!
Also a map of the world where corporal punishment is a part of Judical Law

Wait, in most European countries the parents aren't allowed to discipline their children with an occasional slap/spank?
Oh boy...
(about the schools - I've never seen that happen and never heard about a case of a teacher using physical violence against students other than in self-defence. I wonder what does the map refer to, really)

In UK you can hit your child but if it leaves a mark for longer than 24 hours your in big trouble!

Did your parents ever get in trouble for dropping you on your head?

Well, whenever my brother steps out of line he gets the occasional slap on the hand (he's young so it makes him cry).
But it's not like we have a belt lying around that we whip his ass with
Are you allowed to do that in Czech Rep?

Sure, but it's somewhat old-fashioned. My parents used a plastic hose for that purpose
Seriously, excessive corporal punishments are bad and nobody tolerates it here, but telling parents that they can't even spank their own child is ridiculous. Especially since in most of the countries which issued this ban it is perfectly legal to teach kids religion or do other forms of mental abuse. Compared to that, occasional slap is nothing.
BTW, a cabinet minister in the previous gov. proposed a similar "slap ban", but the public reaction to that was "is she crazy or what?!"

I suppose people thought that the line between "teaching the kid a lesson" and "abuse" were so thin that they'd do better with just banning it once and for all.
