But what did he mean by that?


Trump is obviously a deep cover Atlantean agent tasked with securing Greenland and speeding up global warming, which is actually an insidious plot orchestrated by the few remaining Atlanteans in exile so that their lost city may be freed from the icy prison it was cast into by the archmages of Hyperborea. Wake up, sheeple!

I mean, if we're in the politically loaded maps thread, then I totally agree with Trump. The US should also take the western third of Iceland that is on the North American plate too. Europeans should finally stop their colonization of other continental plates.

With the basically total lack of any buildings made prior to the 1800's there, Europe honestly should eject them into North America as a matter of contempt.

An American should not visit a European country and feel like they've left storied centuries of architecture BEHIND them. Just shameful.

A lot of creative accounting here, with huge multinationals being headquartered in the Netherlands but actually operating worldwide. But Russia’s economy is puny, even with all the natural wealth extraction propping it up.

When did Kazakhstan annex Kurgan oblast and parts of Chelyabinsk oblast?

Edit: on closer inspection it seems the map uses a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection, which distorts shapes pretty badly that far out east.

Well Kazakhstan was the last state to leave the Soviet Union, and thus technically was the entire Soviet Union by itself, so surely they have claims to the rest of the union.

The Treaty of Tordesillas didn't wait for Stalin to be geopolitically irrelevant.



It was irrelevant as soon as it wasn't signed and ratified by every country not located geographically on the Iberian peninsula.

No but there's some notable Japanese diaspora in a few places.

Thus the shrinking.
