I swear to god, this year is the year I'm writing that article about how hosed up West Virginia looks in every map ever.

It's not the mapmaker's fault that WV consists of all the odd bits other states didn't want.

* New York City had seceded and claimed Long Island
* Something weird is going on with the eastern tip of North Carolina.
* Maryland annexed the Eastern Shore.
* Florida annexed Alabama.
* The Atlantic Ocean annexed Canada.
* I've seen many representations of South Carolina but never one that put Charleston on a huge-rear end peninsula.
* MaryLand
* SERIOUSLY? SOUTH COROLINA!??

It's a heartbreaking way to learn about the limitations of the four-color theorem as applied to real world maps.

I think it's poetic that a state so self-righteous about its devotion is permanently throwing the horns.

Nope, look again, it's four.

But the only way to use all four and avoid the same-color-adjoining problem is to have the West Virginia Sea.

Actually I meant to say western, but eastern is also looking rough.

Edit: For the other map, the division between "Mid-Atlantic" and "East Coast" makes no sense. And ID/WY/[western]MT are Mountain, not Plains. No sir, I don't like it.

Notable European countries: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey.
EDIT: Well, since it includes places like Norway and Switzerland, I guess it's more like a "Europe" thing rather than a EU thing. Given those countries long history with Europe, I'd buy it!

It's not a map of European countries, it's a map of the European Union. notice the little flags. Any other countries is just shown incidentally. such a colourful map would be ill-served by grey blobs all over.

Unless the EU makes another exception and just kicks you out. You might technically be part of it, but not in spirit.

That's not NATO's official twitter account, it's just the official account of Canada's representative at NATO. Canada loves antagonizing Russia to play to the large Ukrainian-Canadian population of voters.
