Guess the Map 12: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate Mercator

That isn't realistic, though, cause Britain was made to leave the area by France (also Greece was forced by France, and the local lowlives capitulated as usual; Eastern Thrace & Constantinople could have been kept). Turkey wouldn't be able to invade anything in Europe, with no fleet in the first place.

Btw, @Hrothbern , here is Venizelos in Holland ^_^

I guess 1929 in The Hague at that peace confrence in a time "we" still believed that you could always stay neutral as Netherlands in conflicts (also fitting the International Court de Justice located in The Hague and mentioned by Venizelos)

I like that Malta also moved its capital. Aren't there only two towns in the entire island? ^_^

 

[W|M]

It looks like it might be planned capitals.

yes

Huge ******* stretch to call Oslo a planned city

like yea after the fire it was kinda laid out in a plan, but like it's gone way out of that in the hundred of years since

Like Constantinople was like planned when mister constantine moved there, but you wouldn't call Istanbul a planned city

wikipedia says both are planned, plus most of brasília nowadays is also outside the planned part

@Chukchi Husky , you should post the new map

 

[Chukchi Husky]

This isn't entirely accurate but I've tried to make it as close as I can.

 

[Kyriakos]

Neolithic related? Eg artifacts.

 

[The_J]

Is it related to genetics?

Places Chuckhi's friends come from?

It looks like the extension of some kind of animal

Going to guess a rat of some kind just because

It's not a rat, but it is a family of mammals that all share the same common name.

That was my thought, too.

Then the entire map would be green apart from the tundra and Antarctica...

I was going to guess some kind of migratory bird, but then...

It's not a rat, but it is a family of mammals that all share the same common name.

The only (terrestrial) mammals that could have reached NZ on their own are bats, but it's not them, because Australia and S.America are blank.

So this has got to be a modern distribution, i.e. influenced by humans — so possibly some kind of domestic mammal, e.g. a gerbil?

What do the Kiwis allow in that the Aussies don't? There can't be that many candidates. Paging @Zardnaar...

 

[Kyriakos]

Or some kind of mole?

Distribution of hedgehogs?

 

[warpus]

Pretty sure that's a map of parts of the world where Hobbits live.

You reminded me I had to read part of the Hobbit to write a bit of my new seminar

Distribution of hedgehogs?

I've been hearing a lot from Americans about how hedgehogs are obscure, unknown animals.

 

[warpus]

Weird, I could swear that I saw hedgehogs here in Canada. No?

There are no native species of hedgehog currently living in the Americas.

For New Zealand, hedgehogs were introduced by the British to make New Zealand more like Britain (The same thing happened in Australia with the red fox).

 

[Kyriakos]

Hedgehogs aren't that useful anyway.

btw: very cool map, @Chukchi Husky

This seems weird to me, because everyone here knows what a hedgehog is. So I assumed it's because these animals live here. Why would Sony name a big game after an animal that doesn't even live in North America? What IS going on here..
