A note of those funny growths off Gaza.


That's useless desert, the plan also includes the disenfranchising of anyone of Arab decent having Israeli citizenship, finally rewarding them for 50+ years of total loyalty to Israel.


And we all look forward to ANOTHER generation of Radicalized Palestinians/Israeli/Arabs/everyone else.

I like that Gaza doesn't get a port either, lest they import useful materials or something.

Does anyone know of a little utility, hopefully web based, where you can draw shapes on a map and it will tell you the approximate population contained in the shape you drew? Maybe that doesn't even exist?

Here’s some random one online https://www.freemaptools.com/find-population.htm

I like how Israelis get limited access roads to access their exclaves but Palestinians apparently can't be trusted to stay on the road so they get a loving massive road tunnel, which would almost certainly be one of the greatest engineering feats ever accomplished by humanity, and also incredibly impractical and dangerous in that political climate.

I think this is showing Israeli ports that Palestinians somehow have rights to, despite not having a codified corridor to access them, so I'm not sure how they can use them without dealing with Israeli clay. I think. I might be giving them too much credit.

"Tuttle's Red Barn," is apparently just a family farm, so I'm not sure it should really be listed as a corporation. At least I'm doubtful it was actually incorporated in the 17th century. According to its wikipedia page it was also sold by the Tuttle family in the mid 2000s, so it probably doesn't count anymore.

If this map is going to include any piece of land that has been continuously farmed probably all of the old world should just be dated as "origin date lost to antiquity" since that's ultimately going to hold just about everywhere.

i also hate the color scheme. who gives a poo poo about what sector its in, i wanna be able to see who has the oldest corp at a glance, nobody wants to zoom in on his poo poo to read the tiny labels

At least according to Wikipedia it had a royal charter, which is a bit more substantial than just any old family farm.

Why are a Dominica newspaper and Mongolian broadcaster "Services and Distribution" instead of "Knowledge and Information?"
Meanwhile, under Knowledge and Information are Cotontchad "a parastatal Chadian company operating in a monopoly regime that buys and exports all the cotton produced in Chad." and Cameroon Development Corporation "an agro-industrial complex that grows, processes and markets tropical export crops."

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?
Also, Chad changes color in the inset. It's green on the main map, but on the zoomed view it's blue.

Also a pharmacy, which ought to be services unless we're calling any professional dispensary a knowledge industry.

I know this is SA and the law requires that we make fun of each other at all times, but that is really good, better than almost any non-German could have done, and probably better than most Germans.

e: certainly better than my attempt would have been, I know where Bavaria, Brandenburg, and Schleswig-Holstein are, but the rest is already getting into educated guesswork territory

Slesvig is the correct Danish spelling however, so only partially wrong.

Poltically-loaded, but 100% correct. Slesvig-Holstein should be an independent state with Synnejysk and Plattdeutsch as the official languages.
