this is satire on the situation between Japan and South Korea
My comment was satire on the sad state of the American "education" system
you got me
I gained a better understanding of the joke so thank you for falling for it!
I'm out of the loop...what's going on between Japan and South Korea?
The name of the sea between them is causing turmoil in the SK society, because everyone else is calling it "Sea of Japan".
that and the fact that the Japanese are absolute dicks about the SK women they enslaved for sex some 70 years ago
Everybody else has been calling it "Sea of Japan" for a really ling time by now.
AFAIK, seas normally take the name of the land that is closing them, and gulfs take the name of the land that is around them.
Now, about their constant Empire apology, yeah, Koreans are in their right to be really pissed of. The entire world should be.
And I only learned about those crimes by reading manhwa first but hey at least I did learn about it.
Just remember that every time you see the sun flag in an anime, that it's the symbol of a government that the fucking Nazis wrote home scared about their monstrosity and disrespect for the lives of other people.
Thanks for the context, from an American who tries not to read the news because my doctor reccomended that as an alternative to suicide. This whole place is fucked.
Jesus Christ, did they bill you for that advice?
Lol, to be fair I have a significant anxiety disorder and am prone to panic attacks.
If only Scotland could detach like that in real life 😢
This is basically plot of Golden Kamuy (with Hokkaido, not Scotland)
Please rename the Irish Sea to "Gulf of America 2"
No New Zealand yet again.
I hope you're not using that map to navigate your new home.
Is that why everyone around me sounds like they're speaking some language I can't understand? I thought it was just really heavy accents.
I mean, depending on where exactly you ended up, it could go either way. I've watched some British TV over the years and I frequently need subtitles and I assume the actors are enunciating better than the average person.
Thankfully, because of my British family, I am very good with most British accents. That said, the guy who delivered our groceries had an incredibly thick Lancashire accent and a stutter and I got a few phrases here and there. I got the important ones like 'did you get my message' and 'no substitutions' but he said something about going to Preston (nearby) which was just unintelligible, so I just nodded and said, "okay."
*Democratic People's Republic of Ireland
- designed by POTUS executive order, soon in all geography books and schools in USA
Wales gets it it's own Island? Fuck yes! I vote for this map.
I wanted to be North Korea not South Korea
Poor Shikoku doesn't get a label
You mean Cornwall?
I love how Northern Ireland is south of the Irish Republic, yet every other country is accurate.
A silly map of silly isles.
Just as in the actual UK map, russia does not exist
If only.
North Ireland is south of Ireland?
Northern Ireland South
Suggest to a South Korean that Japan owns them and I will personally attend your funeral.
I do not see those places on this very accurate map.
Why is Northern Ireland the South of The Republic Of Ireland? Did something happen? Sorry I'm not well versed in this region.
Also, what is the country bordering the EU and The Republic of Ireland? Is it Yougotoslovakia? I have family there I think.

Why call it the north sea when it's to the east? Doesn't seem very accurate to me 🤔
It's funny because it's true
Japan has always given me more of a Denmark vibe. The general shape and area, lots of islands, connected to its' mainland and a bit on the flatter side but hey, you can't have it all exactly alike, can you?
They even have their own kinda-sorta version of sushi with a Baltic twist, heavy on the pickled herring. But there is a famous pickled fish sushi version from Kyoto.
