I feel like it's worth noting that the makers of this globe found the perfect solution for the Falklands/Malvinas problem.

Bip Roberts posted:That globe isn't that funny overall. To be fair, it's really hard to compete with the one Jaramin posted a few months back. Especially when it's mostly inexplicable replacements of O's with Q's and G's with C's, rather than borders out of place or missing countries. But that doesn't mean I don't want to know what the heck the "Bact Sed" is supposed to mean, or why the Mediterranean Sea is just labeled "Sea". And nothing really explains how you get ALEPEAUAN out of Azerbaijan. But I can just not post the rest of the globe if no one is really that interested.

Albino Squirrel posted:No, it's making me laugh, especially the glorious empire of WESTERN SAHARA in giant font. The thing that I just don't understand is the size of the type. Here's Russia, with basically nothing to put in it since there aren't any labeled rivers or cities, and it warrants only a tiny RUSSIA, while just south of it is a CHINA in tall letters, making it the largest country name (by type size) by far on the entire globe. To be fair though, that's one way to make it completely clear where this thing was made.

Tei posted:You are right but... China keeps an eye on people they think may require them to "ban" something, and then go around to put them all in prison around any time when that would become an issue. No actual need to censor anything because everyone who would need to be censored is in jail and everyone not in jail got the message. Of course that's all second hand information so it may be inaccurate, but a random google search will show tons of those examples even ignoring the possible "exception and not the rule" scenarios like the Tiananmen Square anniversary. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jan/17/china-terrified-dissent-dissident-chinese

a pipe smoking dog posted:I'm from the Canadian province of Schefenbe. One of the three most inscrutable things on this globe (Along with SHAMVA and one thing I've yet to show you). It's the only thing so marked in Canada. But what is it supposed to be, really? There's no way to get Quebec, Newfoundland or Labrador from that mess.  EDIT: I mean the only thing that makes sense is that someone without knowledge of the Roman alphabet was literally typing these in by hand, copying from a picture of a globe, rather than the real thing, and just didn't know that those "c"s were supposed to be "e"s or the those "T"s are supposed to be "I"s. But how do you get "Schefenbe" out of that? ComradeCosmobot fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Dec 19, 2015 |

You know, it's like they OCR'd a globe and printed it back out somehow. That's the only way those letter replacements happen.

You will be cast into the Pit of Cancroon, nesting place of the all-powerful sarlacc. What's weird is the countries they bizarrely emphasize. It's very important that Malta, Monaco, and the Bahamas get their due, and then some.

To judge by the location I bet it's some weird corruption of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schefferville, although that doesn't exactly explain why you'd ever put somewhere like that on a map at that scale

steinrokkan posted:I like Angola's label sheepishly waiting outside her country's weirdly diseased looking paint job. As much as I wish that was true, that's just a reflection of the light. You can't see it easily but there is a second Angola label in that blotchy area which can just be made out in the first pic. We don't need to label Portugal, but we'll add an extra Angola label to make sure everyone knows Cabinda exists! ComradeCosmobot fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Dec 20, 2015 |
