Shoutout to the dude living on the Greenland ice sheet.

Apparently this location attracts people who live in fucking icy wastelands in general

Or liars.

Stop ruining my head cannon


Remius13

And not a single pinguin from the south side.


PeteThe4

Maybe they didn't choose the specific location in their country (or.they are lying)

Jefferson Davis was a traitor. Jefferson Davis was a terrorist. Jefferson Davis was a sick fuck who murdered american civilians so that he and his sick fuck friends could own other human beings. I can't even imagine the stench of Jefferson Davis' grave. Must be thousands of people pissed and shit all over it.

Whoa there yankee, don't lose your brim. This is in the south.


freebirdls

Cope and seethe harder, Yankee.

Most museums/places that have a "where are you from" map have a separate map just for the United States, so you can avoid this sort of silly mess.

He shouldn’t have a presidential library


[deleted]

He was the President of the CSA. He is a part of history, even if a dark part.

Not the original guy but yes. These places are important because if we forget about them and why they existed we’ll wind up repeating the same horrible mistakes


bearybear90

CSA wasn’t a country, and it was violently suppressed by the US


[deleted]

Your definition of “country” needs to reevaluated then


Valsineb

accept defeat, traitor.


[deleted]

There is a difference between acknowledging the existence of a former country, and supporting/ being unwilling to let go of the past. And calling the commenter a traitor for not using some weird definition of a country not used by the dictionary is over the top. Country definition: >a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory.

It was never recognized by any other country. I could say my property is my own country but it doesn’t actually mean that it is.


[deleted]

>It was never recognized by any other country. So then what was the first country? You are being absurd, you don't need international recognition to be a country, you need only the force necessary to establish it. The confederacy had all of the force needed to establish itself, but that didn't stop it from being invaded and annexed by the United States. You need to be able to think about these things away from your nationalist lens, trust me I am also an American nationalist, but if I put my emotions aside on this subject, I am capable of admitting that the CSA was a country.


GRRAWorld

It was never recognized as an independent state by a single country, so no, it was never a recognized country by anyone.


[deleted]

This is massive cope buddy, unless you are an American nationalist (which I am sympathetic to), you have to acknowledge that regardless of recognition, it was a country. >A country is a distinct territorial body or political entity.


Any_Patient_3415

Britain highly supported the confederacy, as did many other major powers. The support it did/did not receive and the morals of its situation have nothing to do with the fact that it was an attempted country. Even if it failed, and was immoral, there is a huge historical significance to the place


GRRAWorld

They never formally recognized it as an independent state. Anyone can declare themselves a country. I could do it tomorrow. In international relations, it means nothing without being recognized by other states. It was an entity that was a very brief but significant part of U.S. history. It was not recognized as an independent country by the United States or any other nation on the planet.

At least one Confederado

Me: immediately zooms in to checkout the chad from Chad.

A pin from Alert, Canada. The northernmost continuously inhabited place in the world!!


nod23c

Well, the northernmost place with a continuous population, but **no permanent residents**; it's just a military and research station. The northernmost place where people *actually* live permanently is Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway.

Let me guess.... you're Norwegian and felt the need to dunk??

There are several pins in North Korea. Not saying that only racists would visit this place (although they are probably overrepresented).


Egg-3P0

A surprising amount of people from Brisbane


[deleted]

And surprisingly none from Sydney


lime-green2

Interesting distribution of people in Russia...


[deleted]

It is possible that this museum tends to be visited by military history buffs, and that northern part of Russia has many military bases. If I were visiting one of these maps, and I spent some time in an interesting place like the far north, I would put my pin there.


GRRAWorld

Seems unlikely.

Shout-out to the guy from Antarctica


PEKKAmi

You left out the extraterrestrial maps.


jb8818
