Altered maps XI: Towards a New Decade!

[Optical]

Looking at the Drakensbergs, I'd say definitely.

Why the Mediterranean is dried and Australia and Papua New Guinea are the same isle if the sea level has increase? Tectonic movement? I think it's pretty much appreciable for just 250 years.

Nitpicking much, huh?

It's obvious that it's a ficticious map.

It's based on a film which didn't make any scientific sense whatsoever, so...

Terraformed Mars. Unlike many other maps that can be googled, this has a rather more realistic coastlines. Mars is a dry place, so unless we are willing to move hundreds or thousands of icy asteroids from the outer solar system to add more water, we aren't going to end up with very deep oceans on Mars.

The full map is a part of someone's hobby project, link here.

Metal in Saudi Arabia and Iran?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Yep:

And yep:
http://www.metalunderground.com/bands/country/Saudi-Arabia/

I think there was even a documentary or smthing about iranian metal bands recently.

 

[MrTrt]

Nordic countries are currently the greats powers of metal, obviously. But I'm surprised about Portugal and Czech Republic, I don't know any Portuguese/Czech band.

Spoiler :

Why is French Guiana different from France?

Why is French Guiana different from France?

Apparently, it's Africa.

 

[ArneHD]

Why is French Guiana different from France?

Because dependencies are listed separately from mother countries in the CIA factbook.

There's more metal in North Korea than there is in Bhutan?

 

[Dachs]

There's more metal in North Korea than there is in Bhutan?

North Korea actually does have metal bands, but I think that the Bhutan color is "no data available", not "there is no metal here".

 

[Save_Ferris]

Greenland? I guess that's what they do around there...

What is wrong with this picture?

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Turkey wasn't on Britain and France's side. Also, wouldn't it be more proper to say "The Ottoman Empire"? Also, Holland is not the official country name, but "The Netherlands".

Also, France did not own Alsace-Lorraine at that time. And Norway's border is too far to the east. And didn't Austria-Hungary extend slightly further north? Also, Bulgaria owned that strip of coast on the Mediterranean.

 

[Graceheart the Leopard]

Look more closely- Turkey is a different colour than Britain and France.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Berlin is way too far west as well. Also, Belgrade is shown as not in Serbia.

Germany owned more of Poland than that, and they also owned East Prussia. Austria-Hungary's borders are just plain ugly and wrong on so many levels. Finland is inexplicably independent, and the Ottoman Empire owns more of the Arabian Peninsula and Iraq than it did in reality, and it also owns Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and part of Iran. Italy has Corsica for some reason.
