HookShot posted:Ah that makes sense, I didn't think even black people in America used the -a version as a swear word, so I figured it was just white people being awful racists. They're not using it as a swear. The makers just cataloged all bad words, regardless of context.

http://www.mytravelmap.tk/?1 Extremely anglocentric, no split into states/oblasts/whatever for Russia or Chine despite them being as large as they are. British Malvinas/Falklands. And probably some other stuff I have no idea about. edit: Mercator projection, extremely huge Greenland.

Mr. Nemo posted:no split into states/oblasts/whatever for Russia or Chine despite them being as large as they are. Why is it that only the US, Canada, and Australia have their sub national divisions shown usually? At first I thought it was because they're federal governments, but then realized that atleast India should also be shown. Is it because the individual states/provinces were formerly independent colonies/states?

I think it's because the borders have both been very static for a while, and are easy to get in english speaking sources. And they're generally not very complicated to draw either.

I bet they've got hoverboards and world peace, too. Vivian Darkbloom posted:Does any city have public transit this good? I guess WMATA would still run it so "good" is relative, but still! Reminds me of Seoul's metro system. Would probably cover about the same geographic area, too. Shanghai's is pretty good, but more dense than Seoul.

And their international borders are super simple, so its hard to get it confused. Russian oblasts would make the Caucuses super confusing. China... uhhh, people that don't know about it might get wierded out? It is basically "white people" though.

Not really, looks like annual ridership on the London Underground is about 1.3 billion whereas annual ridership on the NYC subway is around 1.75 billion. There's a difference but not an overwhelming one.

HookShot posted:I figured someone here might know: why is the Liechtenstein border with Austria done in the politically loaded dotted line rather than a solid one? The borderlands between Liechtenstein and Austria contain an extremely lifeless sand desert microbiome known as "Europe's Empty Quarter". Its only inhabitants are tiny bands of nomads who rob trading caravans for elaborate pastries and ridiculous cups of coffee.

And if we are comparing scores, i got like 25, mostly thanks to the Russia, Argentina and Brasil trifecta.

It's normal that they would take their own political specificities into account. The real question is, why do we allow the UK to have four 'national' football teams, other than perhaps to make them less of a threat
