Tei posted:I have a solution to this, instead of going trough the south of africa following Portugese trade routes. What If we travel directly to the west? I think the world is actually smaller than people believe and if we travel long enough to the west from Spain, we will be in China in no time at all! Nothing of value would be lost if a canal was plowed straight through North America. I propose making it about a United States wide.

Speaking of sea shanties, is there a Sherbrooke, Nova Scotia or was the last of Barret's privateers actually from Québec ?

There is a Sherbrooke quebec, Nova Scotia, AND Prince Edward Island, none of which were settled during the American revolution when the song was set It also while written to resemble a sea shnaty would not have worked as one since the song has two meters it alternates between and sea shanties have a consistent rhythm as a way to coordinate the pace of work when doing shipwork that requires multiple men doing synchonized actions BIG FLUFFY DOG fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Mar 26, 2021 |

Some questionable choices from these song maps. Just two examples: I really doubt that Chick Corea‘s Spain and Rainhard Fendrich‘s I am from Austria are less popular than that

Oh my eyes have seen the glory of the Spain at '82 When little Northern Ireland showed the world what we could do Now Lawrie is our leader and we're coming after you, and that is why we sing! We're Not Brazil, We're Northern Ireland (x4) But It's All The Same To Me We beat the Turks, Italians and the mighty Germans too The French, The Dutch, our Southern friends all know what we can do And if you know our history you know it could be you And that is why we sing! We're Not Brazil, We're Northern Ireland (x3) But It's All The Same To Me Oh I was only little when my father said to me Come on we'll go to Windsor cheer the boys in Emerald Green They're the greatest little country that the world has ever seen, and this is what we said! We're Not Brazil, We're Northern Ireland (x3) But It's All The Same To Me The English men came over in the year 2005 But little did they know that we had planned a wee surprise Sir David scored the winner and Windsor Park went wild And this is what we sang! We're Not Brazil, We're Northern Ireland (x3) But It's All The Same To Me We're Not Brazil, We're Northern Ireland (x3) But It's All The Same To Me

The methodology is literally just "we typed the country name into spotify and picked the one with the most plays" so it's heavily weighted towards things that are popular on streaming (or were when it was made) and very prone to the person who slapped it together not actually knowing what the song is.

Also notably they use English names of countries, not their own names.

What I love about this is, if you extended the actual borders west, it would be an arc along the top of the country. But they just drew straight lines, so on a globe it would look dumb, and this stupidity really makes the joke shine.

On any other projection, they would look very silly. Well, sillier.

Love* to live in the state they used as the measuring stick for the new states.  Also lolling at the fine print: "the French overseas departments and territories are included within Mi-France." Ah yes, just stick them with the landlocked one.

I was very surprised when I heard that the most populated German state and urban area has nothing to do with Berlin, Hamburg, Munich or Frankfurt (usually the cities foreigners hear about, at least here).
