New Zealand doesn't exist
What is this new Zealand you speak of? Some sort of mythical place?
I can't even see a Zeeland, clearly the whole thing is another Aussie prank and they should be kicked out for Insubordination
Argentina is going above and beyond to try their hardest to be a US colony.
When even North Korea has more common sense...
Don't let the boys over at .ml and hexbear hear you say that.
You guys just don’t get it because your health care system spends money on sick people. Here, we cash in on sick people, so it’s only good business to make more of them.
I hate my country.
Ah yeah, Argentina, a country that is known for it's beef production and it's "Libertarian" President known for silencing dissent. I'm sure a new plague won't come out from Argentina in regards to beef or beef products. No siree. Won't happen.
Don't worry, they'll name it after the place that discovers it like we did with the Spanish flu that actually came from Kansas
So two countries run by idiots and one country that doesn't officially exist
Is there a higher resolution non-cropped version of this map with colours I can actually see?
I'm assuming the "joke" is that the USA is the only No country.
Leela: Look, I know there are no car-chases, but this is important. One of these two men will become President of the World. Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States. Leela: The United States is part of the world. Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time.
"Wait... He can't do that! It's against the constitution!"
"Is that so? Well, I happen to know a place where the Constitution doesn't mean squat! The US Supreme Court!"
Countries using an electoral-college system to elect an executive leader in national popular elections:
USA
Nigeria
Wow the same map as "Countries with claimed royalty that will scam you out of money with no repercussions"
He’s more going for Emperor than king isn’t he? More stylish.
Can someone be an Emporer without also being a King/Queen? You are very right though
Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil comes to mind. Brazil immediately became an empire after it got its independence (thanks to the then Portuguese prince Dom Pedro I, who quit the job to become king of Portugal when the chance showed up)
Interesting. I kind of assumed that Emporer was an additional title where one ruled over their kingdom (where they were king) and other states.
Man, Nigeria better be careful.
Taiwan is presumably red because if Taiwan was green China would be red. So, the WHO just sighs and goes "ok, Taiwan, would you mind accepting 'observer status' or something?", and Taiwan's rep just sighs too and says, "sure, we get it."
Taiwan isn't member of the UNO, and thus ain't member of the WHO either.
It had observer status until China got it kicked out in 2016
#MapsWithoutNZ
Yeah, that's a new one, to just cut off the whole timezone...
Nothing going on over there except that square box that lists terrain types and distances and shit.

California should be shaded green.
WA and NYC too, plus oregon is working on a cooperation agreement too? There's a couple other states funding WHO cooperation and state research groups as well
USA, always number-one-ing idiocy
Why is Argentina going to leave the WHO?
To give a bit more context, the usa has been influencing elections in latin america and there has been a trend in the last 10 years of trump-like leaders in the far right around here. Argentina has elected one of them in the last elections, and he's replicating the trump agenda and extending his power to the region, while destroying the internal economy
In case you want to dive into it, this may be a good starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_wave
Because Milei is an idiot Trump ally with similar beliefs and he is strongly against covid lockdowns and believes they were "crimes against humanity".
Milei is a criminal Trump ally
Idiot is lightyears behind these scum.

I hadn't heard but am not surprised Milei is following suit.
