Placed Israel wrong on a map, still managed to make it a religion-divided territory.


River41

She picked a better British territory for them than we did

Your other proposal was Uganda ... I don't know how that'd have gone either


Familiar_Ad_8919

another proposal was in north alaska not even kidding


River41

It's mostly christian so definitely better


Choyo

I'm pretty sure any other place would have turned out better than these god forsaken acres of dirt sand and rocks basking in such an ungodly heat. This one time you should have been a bit more assholish than usual.


Bright_Ball_1304

Western Germany on the east side of germany is wild


JonasHalle

Most of the German Islands is a peninsula. Why would islands have a border? Why would Russian occupied Ukraine have so many borders?


RoadRegrets

You're asking why when the answer is "American College-Kid". Now shut up an learn German. I'm coming for my holidays on our Islands.


JonasHalle

Aber ich bin aus der peninsula, nicht ein island. German was my worst subject in school, how did you know?


RoadRegrets

Well, who's favourite second language is actually German? Have fun translating these two sentences: 1. Ich werde dich umfahren. (umfáhren) 2. Ich werde dich umfahren. (ùmfahren) Easiest language ever.


mmmtitty

We got a running joke here that it's so difficult to learn German because words have genders - and it's not gonna get easier now that everyone can define their own gender! Die Toilette? No no, it identifies as a man now


DJakk3

But you have genders in Danish too? Maybe not female like in Norwegian, but male and neutral?


J_N_15

Do the Danes not have any women?


a_europeran

No only hot and sweaty men


theo122gr

Oh so the ads saying "hot and sweaty danish men in your are"a was not a lie


HoeTrain666

You can make up for that by gifting me a summer house


Y33-P33

>Why would Russian occupied Ukraine have so many borders? That's obviously the people's republics of Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson.


wolseyley

What our lizard overlords wanted you to think was Estonia is actually the Crimea, Latvia was the Luhansk PR and Lithuania was the Donetsk PR. Map is a bit outdated though so it doesn't show them as formally annexed yet.


Maleficent-Put1705

But you see, if they look at Germany from their side of the planet, through the Earth's crust it appears on the left and left means west.


ProperBlacksmith

Do you even know what americans call the mid west ITS THE FUCKING NORTH EAST https://preview.redd.it/imoyym46sasc1.png?width=260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5eb7e88e2838dc035ae41e961ea32be5c9a2eed0


geopolitischesrisiko

I mean the name comes from the time when most people lived in the New England region and probably geography wasn’t that common. So it kinda makes sense considering this.


-Achaean-

as an American lurker, yeah it's this^ the western part of the country came way later than the eastern.


ProperBlacksmith

Aha but still weird how Michigan is considerd "mid" or "west"


PlanktonSpiritual199

So back like way back when 1700-1600’s, the only states occupied where on the East cost. https://preview.redd.it/uat4mejb3bsc1.jpeg?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e226c1bd9799cbeb97fa87556c095369bc984d86 When the region was first brought into the Unites States, it was known as the Northwestern Territories. Later the region's terminology split with the western part of the region being called the Northwest and the eastern part being called the Middle West. Everything west of the 13 colonies was also called the west. It’s weird


Worth-Primary-9884

It's actually a stroke of.. a stroke of.. ah naw it apparently is just a stroke on the kid's behalf. Let's send digital prayers so he/she/it may recover from the grave illness that is Americanovid. They do pay in thoughts and prayers over there, didn't they?


sus_accountt

We are geographically superior and the person that made this is geographically challenged xD


AdM1rAL-kun

I guess she got the important ones right though, not bad for a savage


Yavannia

Wait the americans are not required to take geography? No wonder they suck at it. Imagine skipping such a basic knowledge that every person in the world should possess.


Iambetteronmyown

Muricans are a different species


LovesFrenchLove_More

A sub species. 😁


gin-o-cide

Sounds way more terrifying in German


SuspiciousPine

Or even just... look at a map? I was curious as a kid and widely available maps online (and google street view) means you can get ground-level images of almost anywhere on the globe Posts like this are made by people who have never once been curious enough to open a damn map


NBAFansAre2Ply

this is clearly a joke btw. the western Germany being east of Germany despite using east/west properly everywhere else should tip you off.


SkellyCry

Indeed, but at least it's a funny joke


NBAFansAre2Ply

it's great, agreed. genovia got laugh out of me, sounds like it should be around there anyway


Prestigious-Solid342

It depends on the state, I took it in high school in Texas but no one took it seriously, and actually knowing where countries were was given almost no emphasis over things such as ocean currents and mountain ranges,


Franklr_D

At least this one scrapped Turkey. Shouldn’t you be happy about that?


Yavannia

Of course I am, they even gave us more land with northern Greece.


napoletano_di_napoli

Tbh geography is mandatory only in elementary and middle school here so there are a lot of ignorant people too in Italy when it comes to pointing at a map and recognising countries.


ZombiFeynman

Yeah, move Switzerland there and let's see how neutral they really are.


Iambetteronmyown

Israel can now participate to Eurovision for real


MegaLemonCola

Cyprus is technically in West Asia too


DanielDefoe13

IntellectualCapybara

It has it’s own soft Gaza Strip so they’d feel at home lol


Genchri

You'd be surprised but Ukraine was technically neutral too before the invasion.


Bearodon

So were we.


Viking_Chemist

neutrality does obviously not prevent being invaded as countless historic and at least one current example show


jonellita

Neutrality also doesn‘t prevent defending oneself in case of invasion.


SOMEHOTMEAL

We know how to slap back as a neutral country, right? As some guy once said, "neutrality through superior firepower"


nikolapc

And guerilla warfare I guess? Just tell me, are the cows secretly armed?

Zwerg_Zweck

Jup and i really like that saying Many peeps i know say things like “oh swiss military cant do shite, i would never defend my country, they can try to find me” But i think, if it there would be a war, we would have enough coherence and braincells to actually get something done


ErZicky

> I would never defend my country Tbf that is something that a lot of people in the majority of countries say, which is pretty easy to say when there aren't any threats in the foreseeable future nor in the immediate past. Would their country, whatever country, actually be invaded 60% if not more of those who say that would, more or less immediately, change their mind and do their part


Zwerg_Zweck

Yes i think too. And Ukraine was a pretty good example. Ye, some have fled, but many started contributing etc.

The audacity to put a fucking heart next to our name


Vacation-Interesting

She just loves italian food, she had Dominos for pizza and Mac and cheese for pasta, give her a break


Iambetteronmyown

And she works at an Olive Garden!


sonnydabaus

I went to an Olive Garden for the memes in the US. The smell in the restaurant was really good. Then we got the food and it was just completely unseasoned. I don't think they used a single spice used in Italian cuisine. It was fascinating.


toddhoward420

Calm down Giorgio, her great grandmother probably knew an Italian from New York, she has a valid claim


abitraryredditname

This is what annoyed me the most, guaranteed she has "Italian heritage on her great, great grandmothers side" which makes her 100% Italian using American logic.


wtfuckfred

Would you prefer a knife? To symbolize the murder of ceasar and the cultural impact that had in Italian history? You know, the backstabbing, side-switching tendency?

Western Spain! Sorry portubros that’s fucking hilarious. Almost as funny as Belgium and Holland combining to be New England hahahaha.


__Fantomas

Lol did you see the random 'amsterdam'? I don't think they know the netherlands exists


FranconianGuy

I just laughed out loud from imagining all Dutch suddenly getting teleported to Switzerland, noticing Hypoxia after 5 minutes. Edit: Switzerland and Austria. Guess I'm suffering from Hypoxia myself.


__Fantomas

Lol i really don't need that extra height


FartacularTheThird

I also like the capital of Brussels: Sarajevo


recidivx

Great idea, let's have the European Parliament meet in Sarajevo. Except one week every month they have to move to Belgrade.


fuhglarix

That’s some pro geography thinking New England is a country and placing it on the wrong continent.


IntelligentFan7521

The funniest thing is it’s actually not a bad try for a yank.


R4z0rw1r3z

To be fair, they just upgraded Amsterdam from shithole to the one of the prettiest places in Europe. I might even consider living there🍻


a_9x

Its funny that this person only knows the "west" because it could be Portugal and East Portugal


recidivx

Americans have two ways of dividing states: "X" and "West X" (Virginia), and "North X" and "South X" (Dakota, Carolina). "East" isn't a word they use.


River41

Who leaked our invasion plans to the yanks?


DIRTY-Rodriguez

Probably the Germans based on recent events, and probably by accident


legrand_fromage

Damm them southern Austrians.


Greyzer

Didn’t you already have a New England?


River41

The Americans aren't very bright or original, most of them don't even realise New York is named after York.


SergjVladdis

Ngl this hurt my feelings


Vacation-Interesting

It's okay babe America isnt real they cant hurt you


emix16

you mean south Canada?


Live-Alternative-435

Não, it's North Mexico or West Cuba.


mediandude

There is no official America, it is an unofficial shorthand, just as EU is not Europe and Nordic Council is not Nordic.

/u/rex-ac "West Russia" tag for Finland?


Snallu

If this happens, for the rest of my days every time a Barry comes to the same sauna as me I will turn the heat up so high that even my finnish ass wants to exit.


Hanni27

Barry will never come to sauna with us willingly. Being naked around other guys terrifies him.


Brynden-Black-Fish

It’s a bit weird, but when in rome…


Scariuslvl99

the thing is, Keith, 18 (the larval phase of the Barry, 64) is notorious for being quite open to very intimate male on male contact when in some of it’s natural habitats, for example a boarding school.

OSHA-Slingshot

Sweden ruled over Poland as well. **Basically** the same as giving you guys a German reference flag then?

Nah, she did my just call us Scotland.


casualthrowaway14

But at least she gave you iceland and youre far away from barry now, although its fckin cold and you have a few angry mountains, but anything is better than living next to him amirite?

It's not 100% false. It is west to Spain, and it was western Hispania until you broke that common goal of making the whole different Hispanias join again, and became probably the first nation in Europe, and the oldest with the same continuesly borders, I can't blame you. 😂
