What now? I kinda didn’t pay too close attention to the news.
Something something orange-krasnov did something stupid again?
Argentina. Finally, a country that Trump can buy.
Summer skiing coming soon to the US?
What a funny coincidence, both those countries absorbed the majority of Nazis that got out of Germany and weren’t kidnapped by the Soviets.
I wonder when Russia is leaving it.
US government is prioritizing killing civilians, so it makes sense that they don’t care about health.
poor taiwan
Actually, California just rejoined independently
New Zealand doesn’t exist.
Poor Taiwan, only excluded due to pressure of China.
What is this new Zealand you speak of? Some sort of mythical place?
I don’t know, but I heard private gardens are illegal there
Tolkien made it up
I can’t even see a Zeeland, clearly the whole thing is another Aussie prank and they should be kicked out for Insubordination
Zeeland is a province in the Netherlands (the origin of the name). So it’s on the map, but it isn’t new and it’s hard to even see a rough shape of where the Netherlands is. But it’s there.
Argentina is going above and beyond to try their hardest to be a US colony.
When even North Korea has more common sense…
Don’t let the boys over at .ml and hexbear hear you say that.
#MapsWithoutNZ
Yeah, that’s a new one, to just cut off the whole timezone…
Nothing going on over there except that square box that lists terrain types and distances and shit.
#MapsWithoutAQ
And AK, for that matter.
You guys just don’t get it because your health care system spends money on sick people. Here, we cash in on sick people, so it’s only good business to make more of them.
I hate my country.
Leela: Look, I know there are no car-chases, but this is important. One of these two men will become President of the World.
Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States.
Leela: The United States is part of the world.
Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time.
“Wait… He can’t do that! It’s against the constitution!”
“Is that so? Well, I happen to know a place where the Constitution doesn’t mean squat! The US Supreme Court!”
Ah yeah, Argentina, a country that is known for it’s beef production and it’s “Libertarian” President known for silencing dissent. I’m sure a new plague won’t come out from Argentina in regards to beef or beef products. No siree. Won’t happen.
Don’t worry, they’ll name it after the place that discovers it like we did with the Spanish flu that actually came from Kansas
Taiwan is presumably red because if Taiwan was green China would be red. So, the WHO just sighs and goes “ok, Taiwan, would you mind accepting ‘observer status’ or something?”, and Taiwan’s rep just sighs too and says, “sure, we get it.”
Taiwan isn’t member of the UNO, and thus ain’t member of the WHO either.
It had observer status until China got it kicked out in 2016
Countries using an electoral-college system to elect an executive leader in national popular elections:
USA
Nigeria
Wow the same map as “Countries with claimed royalty that will scam you out of money with no repercussions”
He’s more going for Emperor than king isn’t he? More stylish.
Can someone be an Emporer without also being a King/Queen? You are very right though
Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil comes to mind. Brazil immediately became an empire after it got its independence (thanks to the then Portuguese prince Dom Pedro I, who quit the job to become king of Portugal when the chance showed up)
Interesting. I kind of assumed that Emperor was an additional title where one ruled over their kingdom (where they were king) and other states.
Nah, for example the OG Emperors, the Roman Emperors, had a cultural prohibition against kings so they used the title Imperator.
Honestly there’s a case to be made that a real Emperor wouldn’t have a kingdom title.
Man, Nigeria better be careful.
