Census blocks aren't really made to be mapped, they're made for the convenience of counting. So in highly populated areas, they're bounded by streets, and in less populated areas, they're bounded by geographical features and, in the absence of those, straight lines.

I was talking about that stupid project to recreate ever historical era in Europa Universalis province.

The data point for this map is racism, that should be fairly obvious.

But why are blonde racists in South Africa horrendous and blonde racists in Australia beautiful?

And why is Utah beautiful when it's one of the few states of majority English descent, when England is only nice?

There should at least be some dots around Bloemfontein, PMB, Umhlanga, and the Western Cape coast. lovely racist map is poorly researched.


(Key is nothing to do with the color code on that poo poo map. It's census identification: Red - Black African, Green - Cape Coloured, Blue - Indian/Asian, Yellow - White, Purple - No Majority.)

Utah is all Mormons. Granted, my only experience here is going to college at a 65% female university, so the mormon missionaries we got were all ridiculously hot dudes. So that was nice. :kimchi:

I agree, the 4th Crusade is responsible for everything that is wrong with the Middle East today, and modern-day Venetians and Frenchmen should be punished for it.

The most impregnable city in Christendom somehow fell to an undersized force of starving, broke crusaders in large part due to the incompetence of the defense and mess that was Byzantine politics.

Maybe he's defining flat in a way where no potential energy is gained or lost by moving across Kansas?

"Arrival" is one term, but "reintroduction" would be at least an equally valid term, since horses had been in North America but went extinct around 10000 years ago.

Siberian girls are mostly ok, but North Kraysnoyarsk girls, ugh

Kazakhs are pretty, but they aren't so good looking in Karagandy

One of my favorite random historical facts is that there was a brief period of time on the Great Plains where the mounted warriors of the plains tribes wore head-to-toe leather armor that was made as thick as possible to repel arrows; like some leather-clad version of medieval knights.

Of course, that ended quickly once the first muskets were obtained from tribes to the east.
