Cartography Anarchy

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

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.

Europe colonized by Europe

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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)

I think you just upset everyone in Europe 😂

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Iceland is probably fine with it.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And maybe Ireland? Or it'll kick off The Troubles again

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

double whammy for turkey, half of istanbul is gone, and the rest of us aren't even included in europe.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I've looked and looked, but I don't see who you're talking about.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

You gotta make space for Liechtenstein somehow.

(lol @ Vatican city and Poland)

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Liechtenstein clearly getting the best deal here lmao.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The Vatican got Corsica. Tough luck.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

Why is Poland 2 squares wide. Unfair

[–] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 11 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure this is how you get a 'the troubles'

[–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Jesus Christ, what did you do to Iceland???

[–] M137@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Swede here, excuse me!? Give it back!

Guess I live in Lichtenstein now.

All hail the king/prince or whatever

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago

It worked for the USA map, this one not so much

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Oh my God what are you doing step Lichtenstein, I hadn't notice how big you'd gotten.

Also, Serbia's in trouble

This isn't organized at all

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I am now Belgian... As a Norwegian we ended up with the northern wastelans. But at least Sweden really got fucked. Now if Denmark got just as fucked I could get behind this

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

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(?)

[–] errer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Ah I think this is a “metric” map of Europe. I thought Europeans were all about the metric system?!

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I suggest relocating the Greeks to Iceland and the Icelanders to Greece.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Actual physical pain. 🫨😵‍💫

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

Will I have to move according to my nationality or change my nationality?

I love how Ireland is Ireland.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

Good ol' Polish Newcastle.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Why is Romania almost twice the size of all the other countries?

[–] lurklurk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
