Countries/provinces that look cool on the map

[SlowwHand]

The roads, Azazel. That perimeter the area.
Looks like what's short for Richard.

I like the shape of Wyoming; it's like someone got real clever and creative with the drawing of them lines!

I also think anything with a panhandle is cool.

Also, California looks cool, because everything about California is sweet

Wow. My dirty mind fails me for the first time ever. I saw a guy on a bicycle...

[SlowwHand]

You won't see a guy on a bicycle again, will you ?

Alaska has got to be the coolest shaped state.

I tend to like old country borders like pre-WW I Germany with Prussia stretching out to the northeast.

[Stefu]

Saskatchewan looks silly. It's got the boring box-like look of some American states, but manages to bugger even that up by being unfeasibly long in the north-south direction. In general, annoying part about North America is the way the Canadian provinces and US states don't match. Someone should definitely change something.

[SlowwHand]

How is that? Why stop there? Do something about Mexico.
And Peru. Hell. Just breal out a massive cookie-cutter and be done with it.

I see it.

Not really. For example, Argentines and many chileans see themselves as Europeans in exile, specially the argentines. Most Bolivians and Peruvians, plus a fair number of Ecuatorians are Indigenous people, the remnants of the Inca empire, and for many of them Spanish is a second language. Colombians and Venezuelans are a mix, and Paraguayians, well, remember the thread about them...

Latin America had two main liberators, Bolivar and San Marti, and for a while there were less states, but they all broke apart. In general, they have less reason to unite than europe, also given the rel;ative physical isolation of these states to one another.

Ahh, I've noticed what you said about Argentina and Chile, and the more northen countries.

San Marti? He's not the guy from Cuba, right? ( expects a slap from GePap )

Finland and Sweden make a great combo.

I always thought they look like a flacid penis and a scrotum but maybe that's just me.

Any chance you're a dog person? (Terriers, specifically.)

Austalia kind of does look like a terrier taking a poop doesn't it? It's almost like Tasmania is the turd falling out.

Iran kind of looks like a legless Turkey or a gainst snail.

Britain looks alittle like a troll or something which is about eat Ireland.

Mongolia sort of resembles a potato with a few rootes growing on it.

Yeman has more then a passing resembablence to a smoke pipe.

The Congo looks like a male elephant with tusks.

Niger kind of looks like a flounder.

Greenland looks a little like a sharks tooth especially since it is all white.

The island of New Guinea look like a vulture.

Panama looks alittle bit like a snake since it is long and narrow with a couple of curves in it.

That's all I can think of right now but I'll try to come up with a few more later.

[Gangerolf]

The Baltic Sea looks like a man holding a chainsaw. Or a man with an enormous willy

[GePap]

No, you are right, i misspelled San Martin the liberator of the South, san Marti was from Cuba.
