I'm sorry, do you mean the great state of IONヘ?

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Don't forget Illlɪiois.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago

I have issues with Hawaii and Alaska placements on this map.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 30 points 3 days ago

I feel like this map isn't just putting them there to show they are part of the country; this map assumes we physically moved the states.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

I’m fine with this explanation. Honestly, they should be closer to home anyway.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

their stripes should reflect their actual location, not where their insets are in relation to the rest of the map.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

And shrunk Alaska and physically moved Mexico...or air-dropped Alaska and Hawaii onto it.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I like the idea of dropping a couple states onto another country.

"Ha! Florida's your problem now, Germany!"

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Put it in eastern Germany with the other right-wingers.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

If I recall correctly from history class, this was George Washington's original proposal.

But, that was a long time ago.

"Fairymandering"

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 days ago

So the white spaces between the states, are they basically like international waters?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Yeah, that's where we keep all the casinos and black markets.

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Hell, yeah. Almost 200,000 square miles dedicated to lawlessness, vice, and anarchy. Sure would make interstate travel more interesting.

[-] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Misred radial as radical, not as wrong as I thought at first

[-] Digit@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Rhode Island's the big winner here.

[-] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Alaska is surprisingly neutral

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Why do all the states have different names? Aren't they all called America now?

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Nah, the king simply added America to the pre-existing names since they refuse to assimilate blue states. Cali-merica, Ameriiwai, New Yamerica, Washingamerica, and so on.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

Calimerica is actually a cool name, I've decided

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 8 points 3 days ago

We should do this just to mess with Europeans. We'll relate it to the unit circle and claim it's metric.
They'll lose their minds heheh

[-] Thatuserguy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

The audacity of North Carolina to take that sliver of land from Virginia. This will not stand

The U.S. but it got split up in the treaty of Jeopardy.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

DC can become the central district, then rename them all clockwise. District 1, district 2 etc.

First you need a massive authoritarian takeover that erodes the original federation into a new empire.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

KANSSS!!!!!!!!!!

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I fucking respect West Virginia

[-] sudo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

It is West Virginia

[-] jasoman@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Ohio can take the upper peninsula from my cold dead hands!

[-] luibh@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Reigniting the Toledo War!

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

RI the only state that keeps all of its original territory. Nice.

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago
[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

I'm in Colorado now. That seems okay.

[-] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

So we have east Maine and west Maine now?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Is any part of Illinois actually in Illinois here? Why are we giving our only profitable cities to Maine lol

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

You think Illinois has got problems? Delaware is in Florida!

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I have a geographical bias, all right?

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

When pirates move to america - Arrr! Kansas!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I just got moved to Nevada.....

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Do I stay in the new state, or do I have to move to where my state is on the map. Because those are very different climates for me.

[-] w3ird_sloth@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

NE Indiana to Massachusetts. Nice. Boston is calling.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Virginia Man doesn't have the same ring to it

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.
