It certainly feels that way sometimes.
Was this a news report from the future on the signing of the Treaty of 2034 that ended the second US Civil War?
Some Sri Lankans in Chi =(
Honestly not far off
Its a map of the lower 4
8statesI adore that Sinhala script. Fruit with bums.
Hey how do you know it? It’s a tiny population in the whole world who can recognise it. Are you Sri Lankan?
I am about as Dutch as they come, but I’m also apparently Irish (short). Anyway, an ex is Sri Lankan. My current husband (current husband? How many do I plan on having?) is Tamil. I have heard many sides to the fight. Love that fruity bum script, though.
Pert’ much.
Eh, close enough.
I was gonna say.
Want to see the map of Asia that most US-Americans could draw.
China, India, Vietnam, Russia, Australia.
Probably Japan.
Maybe Tibet. Maybe Pakistan. Not sure about Afghanistan.
Australia would include Papua, Vietnam would get the rest of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, you name it. It was a big war, must’ve been a big place. Who even knows what countries are there? It’s like the Balkans of Asia. India would look mostly the same, a bit bigger.
If Pakistan is included it probably would include Afghanistan as Afganistan is definitely in the Middle East and not in Asia, but Pakistan (If they remember it, with the weird border ritual video that became so popular) is so closely associated with India that there’s a chance it’s included. Maybe India gets Pakistan while Pakistan ends up around Iran.
China gets a lot of Kazakhstan, all of Mongolia and some of Russia. It’s possible some random chunk of western China gets the name Tibet. Russia stays mostly the same, whether they or China get the Korean peninsula is a toss-up. There’s a decent chance the Russian border just gets moved way north.
Depending on who you ask, Korea might also be included as it’s own thing. But it might end up in a weird place like Vladivostok, the Kola peninsula, or some place in China.
There’s a decent chance they know most of the main islands of Japan and it ends up looking a little cursed but mostly in the right place. I’m thinking it would either stop short of Hokkaido or seize Sakhalin.
Central Asia doesn’t exist.
Basically China, India and Japan with a Vietnam somewhere but they don’t want to talk about it.
No american knows India is in Asia. They think Asia is just south east Asia. I’ll allow that for the Brits tho
Why would you allow that for brits? India was a British colony you know?
?? By allow it I mean I’d understand if the shown map was what a Brit thought Asia was
Hey now, North Korea is in there somewhere by Vietnam, too.
Hmmm. Given a map I could do china, japan, vietnam, korea, taiwan and I think tibet, but if you asked me to draw a map I definitely wouldn’t get the placement of korea and vietnam and tibet right. India I could get too, if we’re going for continental asia. Maybe Kazakhstan? I’d guess that I’d probably be more accurate than the average american, but not great.
That’s cool and all, but if we’re directly correlating this, then I think it would be more like you drawing out the provinces in China or India.
China I could maybe get Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet kinda right, I’d try to get Guangdong, Szechuan and Xi’an, the rest I’m screwed (Heibei maybe? Guangzhou? Idfk). Perhaps I’d be better to stick to the 3 kingdoms.
India I’m much more screwed. Kashmir, North India, South India, Delhi, something called Gujurat maybe, Bengal, Pashtun?, Bombay, Goa? Throw the Ganges somewhere in there in the North and East…a desert in the west, North and South Mountains that are not called mountains? Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d probably draw it out as Kashmir, that big strip that hugs the Ganges and Himalayas where Delhi is, and Texas.
This isn’t me being like “look how much I know!”, it’s the exact opposite hahaha
I would hope you’d find Russia on a map too
Hmmm, never heard of it
You mean eastern Ukraine?
china, japan, vietnam, korea, taiwan and I think tibet,
So … China, then
#freetibet
#nobordersnonations
Tibet should be independent after Republic of China liberates the mainland of terrorists
The Republic of China also claims Tibet.
That’s irrelevant to “Tibet should be independent”
I do want to hear the difference between #FreeTibet and #FreeCaledonia and all other separatist movements. Hell even, #FreetheAmericaFromTheEuropeans
China and India are about right, Japan’s south of Taiwan, Vietnam is labeled South Korea, all the other islands are “you get the idea” squiggles. The rest is a wash. Anyone who remembers the Philippines is in the Armed Forces. Anyone who can place Thailand encrypts their hard drive.
All of central Asia is “Afghanistan?”.
i wanna see the map of the USA that most USAians can draw
Nobody’s asking anyone to draw a map from memory. They’re asking a news channel to put in the 5 seconds of googling it takes to procure an accurate map.
============================== Russia ============================== Iran | China | Japan ============================== Saudi Arabia | India | Vietnam ==============================I’d add in Mongolia and call Myanmar Burma at first but otherwise, yeah.
I was going to be all proud and then I realized you said “most”…
Oof.
This ad brought to you by the bipartisan Canadiasexicans and Texasexicans super pac union for the succession of Sexico
Sexico sounds like what Zapp Brannigan would say is his hometown
Or force Kif to say.
Brannigan: Kif! Chart a course to my home state of Sexico! Kif: long sigh
are they wrong tho
I mean I’ve seen worse “The US according to foreigners” maps. At least all of those regions contain the states their named for.
Also you can see Alaska in the lower left behind the logo
I like how the New York, Florida, and Texas tristate border still makes my homeland of western Kentucky instantly recognizable by the weird little nubbin that is the Jackson Purchase.
Same with the harsh 90* angle in the CA/TX border. That’s Utah, baby! 😎
As a Georgia native I will never get the taste of vomit out of my mouth

Wait, Alaska is missing!
I mean, only like half
💀
