Can't wait to see an indie film about a small town Nebraska story shot in sepia because it's south of the border.

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".

About that, how come Canada doesn't have a cold blue colored filter?
Wouldn't theirs also be sepia? You know. Maple syrup shaded.
Mapia.
I bet Canada does have a blue or grey filter in many American movies, filmmakers often use blueish filters in snowy scenes.
Happy cake day!
is it? oh well thank you ! I think I have some left in the fridge too, i'll have some.
Nebraska story shot in sepia because it’s south of the border.
It's not though? Unless the map was changed between when you posted your comment and the one I'm seeing now.
I think they confused Nebraska and Kansas?
Nebraska is north of the border.
You may have mixed it up with El Kansas.
Cansas
You have to adjust the spelling a bit. Eg. we spell it Corea not Korea. lol
(Funnily enough, "cansas" means "you're tiring" in Spanish as in "¡Ahh, cómo cansas!")
One generation later, none of the Americans remained. Having been removed from its threat for so long, they lacked the necessary defenses to protect them from the devastation of Kinder Surprise eggs.
While I would honestly prefer this to our current situation, I vote we Europeanize things instead. Single continent North American Union, but instead of 3 meganations, we instead go fully independent for each state in the us and Mexico, and each province in Canada. But with free travel between the new, much smaller nations. Let's see how fast these conservative ass states who love to boast about their fucking fiscal responsibility last before collapsing and getting a bailout that requires they start offering fucking healthcare.
I have my doubts that a Republic of Sinaloa and the Grand Dutchy of Jalisco are going to work out.
There would likely need to be some reordering in the build up to The Great Dissolution and New Unionization

Honestly, I think Mexico has a better chance cleaning up the cartels than the US have cleaning up, well... Anything.
If Mexico does that, this map looks pretty good
Without America, cartels don't have income.
Or guns. :/ There's literally one single gun store in Guadalajara for reference.

Is there some way we can ensure Ohio goes to Mexico?
btw, am in Michigan.
Hell no. Or rather I should say: ni cuando el infierno se congele.
Feel like Mexico is getting a raw deal here.
Why? They just got back all their former territory, and then some. As well as taking the largest economy in the US, and most of the largest military resources. Oh, and a fair amount of our aerospace industries. Also an absolute shit ton of oil refineries.
Yes but also
Fl*rida
We can finally quarantine the anti-human states, now that "states rights," aren't an issue.
Mexico outlawed all forms of slavery when they founded the country. The Alamo defenders were defending the right of US citizens to make Texas, which was a Mexican territory at the time, into a slave state.
As President Grant, himself a veteran of the Mexican-American War, once noted...
For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation.

I'd be happy to have Mexico right next door!
I think Mexico should get Alaska. Just to further increase the distance between it and it's country.
Give Sarah Palin's village to Argentina. Because that would be funny.
I mean joining Mexico sounds better than continuing to let Alabama be Alabama. We’d probably improve our public health, public transit, and healthcare options.
Maybe we could finally get rid of our racist, shitty constitution from the early 1900s (longest constitution in the world!)
A Knights Tale!
I feel like Nebraska would burn the place down with them in it at the thought of having healthcare that isn't advertised on Facebook.
For a second I was wondering why Manitoba got to absorb so many states.
I like how the Carolinas are Canadian. It's like the map maker knew they're too racist to even try giving to Mexico.
YEAH CANADAAAA
Canada! Fuck yeah!
...comin' again to save the motherf*ckin day, eh?..
But I don't want to learn French. I can struggle through with Spanish though.
Don't worry the Rest Of Canada doesn't really bother to learn French anyway. It only works the other way around. Unless you want to be a politician or move to Quebec, and even then...
I should know, I'm a native French speaker. Doesn't it show? Did you have to learn French to understand what I just wrote? No, because WE are the ones that have to learn English.

Acadians, Québécois, and Franco-Ontarians are more bilingual. All French speakers.
Sorry if I kind of broke the joke but, here's some facts.
Hehe yeah, my parents got us all to learn french anyway, I don't use it much, but it helps to read a surprisingly large amount of other languages knowing english and french. I could probably more easily learn a few others if I get a reason to. But yeah, have only actually encountered 2 french speaking people in my 40 years so far. So the side benefits of learning it were certainly the more important part. Not even sure I could still follow an auditory conversation in French, but I read it fine.
