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".

Yeah, Croatia, get landlocked.
I didn't move from Poland to Denmark for Poland to follow me here.
(In honesty, I'm kidding, I miss my country very much)
Move back. It's beautiful and people are nice. And the standard of living has been steadily improving. Right, right? No, I mean, you're the one who said they miss it.
I don't get Your point. I know how it is in Poland, I've lived there almost my whole life. And moving back is exactly what I am planning to do.
If they're not willing to move back, I'm willing to move there in their place. I'm an American, but I promise I'm not an asshole who hates everything foreign. I'll integrate and learn the language!
The germans will not be pleased
I don't think the Welsh will be happy either
The who?
ZE GERMANS
I've looked and looked, but I don't see who you're talking about.
Check SW England.
You guys need to click the link and read the names of the countries in detail.
I don't even know exactly why the placement is so funny. Germany. Poland. It's a good joke even without the details, but with the details it is truly wonderful.
Which link?
If you click the story title, you'll see a higher-res version of the same map as you see in the image. At least, that's how it is for me.
Ah OK, I've thought I did miss some external link.
What link. Are you just baiting to post Link from Zelda? Not with me you don't, doing it myself!
Why is Poland 2 squares wide. Unfair
Lookin good Ireland.
If Europeans drew European borders
Um...
damn, sweden got screwed in this one
Portugal hasn't changed much.
Just rotated by 90 degrees.
It worked for the USA map, this one not so much
Oh my God what are you doing step Lichtenstein, I hadn't notice how big you'd gotten.
Also, Serbia's in trouble
Pretty sure this is how you get a 'the troubles'
RIP Italy and France
You gotta make space for Liechtenstein somehow.
Liechtenstein clearly getting the best deal here lmao.

Guess I live in Lichtenstein now.
All hail the king/prince or whatever
Jesus Christ, what did you do to Iceland???
Actual physical pain. 🫨😵💫
Lol, I see Crete is not part of Greece or even Europe anymore
They drifted so far south that's its now part of Egypt(?)
Forgot Cyprus and part of Greece
I love how Ireland is Ireland.
Ah I think this is a “metric” map of Europe. I thought Europeans were all about the metric system?!
Missing Sealand...
Sealand is there, right between Funen and Old Sweden.
That's at least one of the two options. The other now belongs to Luxembourg.

I think you just upset everyone in Europe 😂
Iceland is probably fine with it.
And maybe Ireland? Or it'll kick off The Troubles again
Nah we'll take this with both hands, just speeding up the timeline. I have always want to see Germany too and now its closer.
Honestly, I'd be on board with being closer to Ireland too. I'd take some cheese and whiskey, what do you want in return? You can pop over for some traditional Swabian dumplings (Maultaschen) too, if you'll invite me for something of your own make - I confess I'm not too familiar with typical Irish food, but I did have one banger Shepherd's Pie at an "Irish Pub" around here once. I'm up for whatever.
I mean the sex clubs and general night life lunacy is a fair trade for some pie.
Irish Stew is where its at, colcannon, bacon and cabbage.
Swede here, excuse me!? Give it back!
Will I have to move according to my nationality or change my nationality?
I am noe Belgian... As a Norwegian we ended up with the northern wastelans. But at least Sweden really got tucked. Now if Denmark got just as fucked I could get behind this
If you sort it, you'll be able to find any country in log n time.
