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".

I feel like Nebraska would burn the place down with them in it at the thought of having healthcare that isn't advertised on Facebook.
So is Maryland the only US State now?
We say "The Duchy of Baltimore" now
Where's the Gulf of the United States of America though?!
Hold on. Why does Mexico get the worse part of the USA?
They need the Carolinas for the full set.
Proud new Canadian checking in!
Sure, but who gets Hawaii???
Don't they have the Union Jack on their flag?

YEAH CANADAAAA
Canada! Fuck yeah!
This wouldn't be so bad for new england
Hmm, can we go halfsies on California, if no deal, we could maybe take florida off your hands to sweeten the deal, we have a couple friends here florida could play with. Might keep them both busy.
Mexico wouldn't be willing to go halvsies on their former territory that would be the most profitable territory that they are regaining. Especially since "states rights" aren't a thing anymore, so Florida and Texas can go suck dick when it comes to Federal Laws in Mexico, which outlawed slavery the day they wrote their Constitution.
But I don't want to learn French. I can struggle through with Spanish though.
Don't worry the Rest Of Canada doesn't really bother to learn French anyway. It only works the other way around. Unless you want to be a politician or move to Quebec, and even then...
I should know, I'm a native French speaker. Doesn't it show? Did you have to learn French to understand what I just wrote? No, because WE are the ones that have to learn English.

Acadians, Québécois, and Franco-Ontarians are more bilingual. All French speakers.
Sorry if I kind of broke the joke but, here's some facts.
Hehe yeah, my parents got us all to learn french anyway, I don't use it much, but it helps to read a surprisingly large amount of other languages knowing english and french. I could probably more easily learn a few others if I get a reason to. But yeah, have only actually encountered 2 french speaking people in my 40 years so far. So the side benefits of learning it were certainly the more important part. Not even sure I could still follow an auditory conversation in French, but I read it fine.
You know neither of them wanted Tennessee.
Kentucky? Bourbon.
Texas? Barbeque.
Florida? Beaches.
What's Tennessee got?
Shitty liquor store moonshine that's no where near as good as real moonshine, and Dolly Parton.
I guess Memphis style barbecue, if you're into that. I'm not. Prefer my BBQ to be SC mustard base, a la Maurices (though, I won't spend money there anymore). TN does have some damn fine fried chicken, though.
Coal
Tennessee has some of the best whiskey produced in the US, they also have some banging mustard based BBQ, and chutney based BBQ.
Oh, and Dolly Motherfucking Parton.

Utah should be in Canada+ imo. It would mess with the nice straight-ish border over there, but then if that's what we're going for the Carolinas should be in Mexico+. Also Maryland and Delaware are apparently independent?
Oh god no. Canada, my querido vecino. Can we please trade a few states? I'll give you Texas for Maine. ¿Trato?
Wasn't an American Dad episode? I vaguely recall a character that speaks in a Canadian dialect with a Spanish accent.
it would probably be in everyone's best interest even considering canada can't even take care of itself with its current land and population.
I don't know enough about mexico to comment on how much more they could take on.
Mexico can't afford to fuck with CA's GDP power, so yeah, I'm okay with this. I'd rather be part of Canada, though. They seem kind.
It's a simple vice. Poutine or burritos, choose wisely
