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”.

RI the only state that keeps all of its original territory. Nice.
The U.S. but it got split up in the treaty of Jeopardy.
Do I stay in the new state, or do I have to move to where my state is on the map. Because those are very different climates for me.
I fucking respect West Virginia
Fuck. I'm still in Texas.
I'm in Colorado now. That seems okay.
The audacity of North Carolina to take that sliver of land from Virginia. This will not stand
I have issues with Hawaii and Alaska placements on this map.
I feel like this map isn't just putting them there to show they are part of the country; this map assumes we physically moved the states.
their stripes should reflect their actual location, not where their insets are in relation to the rest of the map.
And shrunk Alaska and physically moved Mexico...or air-dropped Alaska and Hawaii onto it.
I’m fine with this explanation. Honestly, they should be closer to home anyway.
Why do all the states have different names? Aren't they all called America now?
Nah, the king simply added America to the pre-existing names since they refuse to assimilate blue states. Cali-merica, Ameriiwai, New Yamerica, Washingamerica, and so on.
"Fairymandering"
So the white spaces between the states, are they basically like international waters?
Yeah, that's where we keep all the casinos and black markets.
Hell, yeah. Almost 200,000 square miles dedicated to lawlessness, vice, and anarchy. Sure would make interstate travel more interesting.
that's the federal land
New Hampshire and Vermont have been forcefully separated from New England
its better
Is any part of Illinois actually in Illinois here? Why are we giving our only profitable cities to Maine lol
You think Illinois has got problems? Delaware is in Florida!
I have a geographical bias, all right?
Ohio can take the upper peninsula from my cold dead hands!
Reigniting the Toledo War!
can't wait to move to Arkansas.
also south Oklahoma is really super far north so they really goofed up there. hyuckhyuck
When pirates move to america - Arrr! Kansas!
Why do Alaska and Hawai'i's boundaries go off position on the map though
