‘Former Yugoslav Republic of’, a.k.a. PGD, please.

We're not that beautiful, it's just that everybody else is a bit ugly

Admit it, Communism did it for you.

But moar maps!

Dang it. I keep pretending my Yorkshire friend is actually from Wales but I see my real name in the Wales section. I hope she doesn't see this map.

Wanna buy a $300 rock?

 

[Takhisis]

Does it come with a roll?

I like how big the newer part of South Wales is compared to the older part. The proto-Aussies couldn't just find a giant chunk of a continent to be similar to Wales, a tiny island fragment that is approximately the size of Wales, and call it New Wales. They had to specify that it was like the southern half of it.

Your name is my name too.

Not even kidding.

 

[Synobun]

Boots, your post confuses me. I don't see your name anywhere on the map, and I know for a fact your name isn't my name, or Tak's name!

Wait... Tak! What's your name?

 

[Takhisis]

*checks own profile*

It's Tak.

Fun fact, the dude in Hawaii is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's grandpa.

Jeez, 1843 called, they want their map of Scottish shires back.

‘Former Yugoslav Republic of’, a.k.a. PGD, please.

Not many people use that name.

 

[Arakhor]

Technically, Nottingham is the homestead of the people of Snot (Snot-inga-ham), just like Birmingham is the homestead of the people of Beorma.

It's ok, FEM (former european member) ^_^

I'm surprised that you did not complain about a map of Great Britain including (Northern) Ireland.

This is before the WWF went nationwide. It's actually up their in the top-right- the "World Wide Wrestling Federation" out of New York. A bunch of these guys did end up in the WWF later on.

Apparently all the known ones were from later on. Eg Jake the Snake, Hulk Hogan etc. The old paneuropean channel (Euro) used to play reruns of wwf, in the 90s, so i had seen some of that bizzare action. Also, there were computer games about it, including coin-op at the arcade

"Reaganton"? "Bushville"? What does Slate think those suffixes mean?
