Altered maps XI: Towards a New Decade!

[bombshoo]

Yeah, but that's half true anyway

That was sort of the what made it joke in my mind.

 

[aronnax]

A mock party poster making fun of Hungarian nationalists.
Apparently, it says "For a Smaller Hungary".

 

[bombshoo]

Their desired map for Mini Hungary has the same shape as the Kingdom of Hungary, if I'm understanding that poster right. Interesting...

 

[Tee Kay]

Yeah, that's the shape of Hungary desired by ultranationalists... but not the size.

 

[Lord of Elves]

These count as "alternative" right?

at the existence of Yugoslavia, labeled as Bulgaria

 

[ZeletDude]

I'm starting to think those errors are intentional.. for what reason? ..I'm not sure..

 

[Civ'ed]

What's next, "Yugoslavia has today been invaded by the Germans"?

I'd say a lot of them are completely accidental, and the rest is made by stupid people whose job is to make pretty graphics, not know anything about what it represents. What's more annoying is that those whose job it is to spot these mistakes and correct them aren't doing what they're supposed to do. This is especially bad when it happens to reputable newspapers like NY Times.

That, or the Americans are really this stupid

Note how it's all fox news.
May shed some light on the subject.

Here's one a couple of months ago from the New York Times

Where the **** is the Black Sea?

 

[Civ'ed]

Where the is the Black Sea?

Black Sea? somewhere in Russia, right?

 

[Winner]

Where the **** is the Black Sea?

"here be dragons"

I also hate all the maps which focus solely on the Eurozone and ignore the rest of the EU completely, as if they were two totally separate entities.

 

[MrTrt]

Black Sea? somewhere in Russia, right?

Guess yes. I've seen only a better map: the nazi ocuppation of Europe map posted a few pages before.

Another thing, every map with an independent Catalonia I see has Valencia and Baleres independent too. Well, there are minors independence movements in Catalonia, but Valencia and Baleares don't want to be independent, I mean, there are no movements/organizations/parties or anything fighting for the independence.

Wouldn't "Here be Commies and/or Bears" be more appropriate?

Translation from Google Translate:

Spoiler :

Less Hungary!

Are the stupid dialects confusing?
Are you tired that it takes hours to get anywhere in your country?
Do you do not want to remember so many unnecessary counties?
Does Baranja* give a crap?

Unmount the unnecessary border areas!

European Union countries declined Fund (EUOA)
Matuska Országépitö Association for New Year's Eve
St. Peter Orseolo's Table Society

*A Hungarian state on the Croatian border

That depends if you're talking with an pan-Catalanist independentist or not. BTW, what is that map supposed to mean?

 

[MrTrt]

I posted the maps just to show it, but I think you all know where Catalonia and Valencia are.

But, Are there a reason for a pan-Catalanist independence?, I mean, if the independents are in Catalonia, why Valencia and Balearic Isles would declare independence too?

[Joecoolyo]

Yes!

 

[mythmonster2]

...Okay, I stared at that map for a few minutes, tilting my head to try and find some connection between the colored nations. Then I got it. Wonderful.
