The European mind tried.
I did pretty well with North Mexico, but South Canada and West Greenland are a total writeoff.
Looking at a real map.... I think I may have misunderstood the assignment.

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.
Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

The "Ohio? Or is this Ohio?" is a great way to start a fight in both states, depending on how dedicated to American football the listener is.
10/10
From Ohio. I don't do football but laughed hysterically when I saw what they did for ohio.
Same.
I imagine it's partly because we "don't do football"
I have a little giggle to myself every time one team beats another and half of my family is pissed and the other half is happy.
Don't forget esoteric border wars from antiquity!
Solid attempt, lol
Not bad. Your South Carolina state is Alabama BTW, the home of Forest Gump!
I’m pretty sure that’s Alageorgia or Goergiabama.
Er East Ohio, New Ohio, Ohiowa, Illinohio, Ohiohiohio...
Mishconsin, Winnesota, Illioniowa, Kentuckiana, Kansahoma
Left Dakota, Right Dakota, Grundle Dakota, Montana, Montanain't
I passed by this post, because this isn’t the place for straightforward map quizzes.
I came back to it some time later, and said to myself “You know what? I think I can do well on this quiz” and started taking it.
Kudos, sir. This is a good post.
West Dakota Best Dakota
Finally a detailed map showing North Georgium and South Georgium separately. I hate that people are getting lazy and treating both of them as singular like they do the word "data".
Does south Georgia have a gulf of America coastline?
North and South Dakota? Nah, here we have East and West Dakota.
I started in the Northeast and worked my way down the Eastern seaboard, so it took a minute to see it
They were smart and put it in the middle. They knew ppl start at the ends. I started west coast and went down the Mexican border without seeing anything until Oklahoma.
How the hell did Ohio survive unharmed?
You look at the average Ohian and tell me it's unharmed.
New states just dropped, we got (left to right, top to bottom):
- Less Montana
- South Saskatchewan
- Left Dakota
- Right Dakota
- Minnesconsin
- Upper Wichigan
- Crushed Dakota
- Iowone
- Iotwo
- Illisound
- Kentuckiana
- Nebraska (now with ducktail spoiler)
- Kansas Not-the-Cities
- Tumor-ssouri
- Not OK-lahoma
- North Alabeorgia
- Florida-Alabeorgia Line
I noticed Oklahoma was missing its handle, as I was going around from the PNW down and around past where I currently live, then I noticed Alabama and Georgia were screwed up, then I started to notice all sorts of middling states wrong line markers, and the Kentucky-Indiana got merged, then I stopped naming the states and started looking for all the wrong lines comparing with a map to see if I can spot all the wrongs... so I never actually finished but I got over halfway before my ADHD got the better of me.
ooh! Texas!
That's all I'm not American
I knew something was fishy when I couldn't find the drumstick!
...oh, the moon shines bright on my old kenf*cky home!...
With Alaska and Hawaii? Err … 3!
My new favorite game is asking people where Ohio is on a map. Everyone has seemingly heard of Ohio but it's like a myth, some land unmarked on all maps.
I didn't realize the map was fucked up until Oklahoma. I'm brazilian
Usually the entire Upper Peninsula disappears. Glad to see it was only the Keweenaw this time.
Hey I like the Keweenaw :(
Some states are deliberately fucked up, but this was my best attempt to fix them and the ones I know.
Georgibama, Kentuckinois, Wisconsota, Illowa.
Easy Peasy.
The chef normally has fried chicken iirc. What's the new chef holding?
A grenade launcher while wearing a mandelorian mask
Oh wow that's a... Yes!
Florida
Oh GODAMKNIT.
At least 3.
EAST DAKOTA
I like Midwest Texas
