I assume that's Oklahoma. US American states love their panhandles, I assume for marketing and tourism purposes.

apologies, it was not officially part of indian territory but rather an area of "public domain", as the resettled indians learned when they tried to own or rent land there

Over here, the Dutch are known to be, uh, 'open' and assertive. I guess it's all relative. If you're from a loud culture yourself, they probably don't stand out.

1932 Japanese map of the world https://earthlymission.com/japanese-stereotype-map-world-1932/  And if that's too much to poke through, I found the whole map after seeing a version somebody cropped to mainly the continental US.  Although if you poke around the larger map, the map also is very conscious about noting the outer reaches of the Liberian empire as very militarized with lots of guns, moreso than it is wary of the British or Russian empires (and potenially even unaware of the Dutch and French empires).

What's up with the guy with a huge forehead, struggling over the book? He's near NYC. Lots of sports emphasis, which I don't see too much of on these stereotype sort of maps.

Like Phlegmish said, it's relative. To most Belgians, the Dutch are loud. But then I realise we are actually very quiet compared to most of our neighbours. When my friend's now American wife visited Belgium for the first time, she thought the country was in mourning because someone important like the king had just died, because she found us soo eerily subdued and quiet. In that respect, visiting Norway was like heaven to me. The only actually pretty loud place I remember was Bergen, and even that was very manageable.

Dutch are definitely loud — famously loud at campsites across Europe. I don’t really have that stereotype of them being loud *in NL*, but when they’re abroad they’re super noisy.

I've done a couple of camping road trips around Sweden and Denmark and one curious thing I noticed is how many Dutch people are everywhere. Especially in the also strangely large number of Dutch owned campsites.

The Dutch are just really into camping. I was staying at a camping near Interlaken last summer and I was not expecting 80%+ of people to be Dutch.

Also every campsite in Europe has a handful of Germans. These come in two flavours: -Bicycle Germans in tiny tents who are only stopping to sleep before carrying on biking to god knows where. -Retirees usually in huge camper vans. They will scold you for breathing after 17:00. They bring all their food from home as not to spend a single coin on anything in whatever country they are currently terrorising. None of them speak English.

 Germans are infamous in Denmark and the Netherlands for digging deep holes in the beach. They're infamous in Sweden and Norway for stealing "beware of moose" signs. This comic ties those facts together.

I go on big hikes sometimes in North America, where you have to camp along the trail. I always run into a German couple. Rarely other foreigners.

It depends. My family is really loud and my friends are even louder. Sometimes I feel bad at restaurants. I guess in Canada, you would hear me talk with my friends from every corner of the territory. I am trying to learn the skill to talk low, so only the person in front of me can hear what I say, but is hard to forget a habit.

That is why they dig holes, the hollow earth is full of Germans. Surface Germans are a cover operation, backpacking Germans are hollow earth Germans on holiday.

Are they trying to return to the hollow earth, or are they trying to bring more Germans to the surface?

I think if you were to be invested enough in the history, culture and geography of London for the easternmost point of Greater London to be a meaningful spot to you, I think you'd actually know more of the world than by zooming around the planet visiting the easternmost points of international federations like I do

So what happens if you step over the border? It must be a temptation for the tourists, right? Do the Russians chase you when you go back to Finland or what.
