Another way to divide up Antartica. I believe this stems from the UK using the Falklands as the base of a claim, saying they had southern facing coastline that faces directly at Antartica, delineated by longitude.

Prolly cause it was a for-fun art project. Heres a map of LAs transit lines funded, at least partially, by the sales tax hike (click for bigger)  And what Metro theoretically thought the system could look like in their Long Range Plan.  Current system:  And as it was before the 1990s: (get it cause it didn't exist)

With the fact that the north pole will be ice-free by the ~2040s, this might as well be titled Windfall.gif for countries like Denmark.

GreenCard78 posted:There is no oil. Actually thats why I posted that map, there IS oil. An incredible amount of it. And as the ice melts, more and more becomes recoverable. Greenlands land and sea reserves are estimated at over 52 billion barrels, but it could be much more as it's nearly impossible to survey. Oil companies are already all over the arctic, and it's a huge land grab from the various countries to get claims in for the area.

Shipping is also slow as hell, has a high loss rate, and its prices are strangled by a few companies. It also doesn't give Russia any jobs or money, hence the tunnel idea. Wouldn't surprise me if the tunnel happens in our lifetimes, but its decades away. Alaska doesn't even have a rail link with the lower 48.

withak posted:I think American soldiers in England during WW2 were somewhat resented too. They were paid far better than everyone around them and hadn't been living under strict rationing for five years so they seemed like filthy rich, wasteful assholes to the common english person. Well they were also sleeping with all their daughters and trashing all their pubs. These are pretty normal problems when you've got troops around, even in allied territories or peace time.

General Panic posted:By the same logic, they presumably aren't too happy with the British, Australians or New Zealanders either. They aren't. They refer to them as puppet states, along with South Korea. I think you can still travel to NK with their passports though.

I love all of those maps because they all left west Texas with no population or reason for anyone to ever want to go there. Just like today, but in its own state. But yet the West Texans were into it, so whatevs!

Nobody cares what you call your particular poorly arranged legislative body in whatever country it exists in, they are likely all terrible.
