Given how outside Germanic Europe it seems to look like roads. I think it’s roads that are above a certain speed limit

Yeah if you look at France it's obvious that it's something to do with routes or transport of some kind. After image search: it's bike lanes

PittTheElder posted:Yeah if you look at France it's obvious that it's something to do with routes or transport of some kind. Huh... seems dubious to me. I think there are inconsistencies in what OpenStreetMaps is considering "Bike Lanes". NL, yeah. Wallonia? Switzerland? Montenegro? In Montenegro, their map is showing like every paved road in the country, few if any of which have bike lanes. Switzerland also is pretty lovely for bike lanes. Yeah it has a little striped side on the side of the road often, but the striped area gives so little space that two cars passing would always have to eat into the pseudo-bike lane. In Switzerland it is showing the Furka Pass road (from Valais to central Switzerland) as having a bike lane - which it absolutely does not. It's narrow enough in spots that two cars will slow down to pass, and there's no nearby paved bike path either.

It's usually interesting to briefly think about those possibilities and why they may or may not fit. Same, it can be a fun test of useless world fact knowledge. It's not like there's a ton of serious content here. Depends on the map though, sometimes it's near impossible to figure it out or make any funny guesses.

luckily there is a solution, which is to include the answer/source in spoiler tags, so people who like guessing can guess and people who don't don't have to and then people don't have to be annoyed about it in either case

As long as the answer shows up not too long after, it's fine. If it bothers you just don't engage with the post until it's named.

The Florida Alliance is less stupid than it sounds. I looked it up a while back, and it's actually a really populous state. I think it's 20+ million by now. None of the other states in the alliance even come close, I think Georgia would be second.

cali went 63-34 in the last election, texas went 52-46. it's way more likely for texas to swing blue than cali to swing red. Therefore the civil war plotline is obviously that Trump wins without Texas. He declares war on Texas because of the obvious fraud, he definitely won that big beautiful state. Newly elected Gov. Beto allies with California and the the south secedes under Ron Desantis. The northwestern states are studying the issue in committee and don't feel enough time has been given to come to a conclusion one way or the other.

In any case, given the non-democratic nature of American elections, it seems especially silly to base political allegiances on voting. Like, if you live in a state that you perceive as not having a shot at going to your candidate, you might well decide to just not vote. The people with the opposite issue can at least run up the score and feel like they're winners too.

My theory has been that they very consciously don't want to tap into specifics of current political alignment, which is why the factions don't really make that much sense on those grounds. From the trailers it seems like the movie's going to be about a bunch of journos who don't really know what's happening but awkwardly trying to wade through dangerous situations, kind of evoking the chaos of conflicts in like the Balkans, Syra, or Sudan, but in a familiar setting. Although I do keep constantly thinking back to this XKCD map SlothfulCobra posted:
