Ask your European friend if they can name all 138 states

Thanks MapGPT

The cost of Trump's wall is gonna bankrupt us

I think the upper right corner should be just all New York.
- New York, New England, Maine. Rhode Island would totally stay independent but they should change their name to New Britain just to fuck with New England.
all my dakotas gone

The longer you look, the more ridiculous the names are. "Ohio", what the hell kind of name is that?

They forgot Alaska and Hawaii

Ah, brings back all those summer memories I would have made at Lake Doramos.

The Trankish/Fitretion shore is nice, I guess, but when you live nearer the Canadian border and end up vacationing in Mesfate, you look forward to going back to school.

Ronald is really beautiful this time of year.

Why does Central Trankland get that big island in the middle of Lake Doramos?

Um, hello - War of 1831 anyone?
- They must have gotten their history education in Zackers.

I’m still salty we didn’t get New Canada

The confusion regarding the Midwest is exacerbated exponentially

Kansas looks in the mirror and sees Chaster.

And Nebraska sees Oyblaf.

Obesity is a real problem everywhere, not just us but in Mexico and Canada too.

Honestly, as a European I dare say most Europeans couldn’t name all 50 states, and definitely not place them on a map.

I’m confident I could correctly place Texas, Florida, probably California and maybe Kentucky if the borders were drawn.

Naming more than one or two state capitals? Forget it!

Edit: quite sure about Alaska and Hawaii too, but I forgot those (see!).

Yeah, but the average us-american couldn't even begin to name the départements of France for example. Or anything on the scale of NUTS1 in Europe or Brazil or China.
- The individual states are better compared to medium/small European countries than to districts of most countries in terms of size, population, economy and political independence.
  Not being able to place Boise is is more like not being able to place Skopje than Nantes. (And yes, I had to look two of those up)
Why Kentucky?
- as a european its the KFC plate the chef with the big chef hat is holding

i would absolutely play this tabletop setting

I think we would have an easier time naming the 40 provinces of canada.

We'd struggle with naming all 50 states of mexico.

Most glurons can't name them all either. All Hail Mono!

Lake Doramos is ENORMOUS. Easily the largest in the world.

The U.S. has 4 of the 5 largest freshwater lakes in the world; Doramos, Superior, Huron, and Michigan. Nature is beautiful!

This map brings up so many questions. One could assume that some sort of magic shifted the earth enlarging it, or it's an alternate reality of some sort. How does politics work in this version of America? This is easily twice the area of the real USA, I imagine it's basically impossible to govern these lands federally. It's already difficult enough as it is in reality with all these incompetents in charge.

What would the population look like? Would it be the same in all real states and a proportional amount in new ones? Or would it be more spread out, with urban centers farther apart?

Is there a source for this image? Like, is there a preexisting lore for it? Or can I roll with this and have fun?

realistically the west coast would either be Spanish or maybe japanese
- There's a high probability that the rest of the world is wider as well.... since it seems like the states never grew higher.... is there a whole new section at the equator filled with new continents/countries?

I only know solid, liquid, gaseous, and plasma. :(

You know more than you might think.
Glass is an other one. Superfluids, Supersolids, condensates, superconductors, you might know as well.
Then there are the others: liquid crystal, microphase, fermionic condensates, degenerate matter, quark matter, color glass condensate, string-net liquid, superglass, chain-melted state, quantum hall state, and photonic matter.
- All these newfangled snowflake states of matter! When I was young in 1874 there were only three and we didn't need any more!

This sounds like a mixture of prescription drugs and made up english towns

My back is hurting, better grab some Ronald.

I ❤️ Shandle

POV you're playing geoguessr and the map is long flat expanse in the middle of bumfuck nowhere but you know it's the US because of the roads and yet have no idea other than it's a random midwestern/plains state

looks at image for 0.5 seconds
"This is the gradient of western Kansas."
-Rainbolt, probably.

I want a huge Shandle shaped sticker.

Baltichusets?

New Canada implies a possible universe where Canada plans a 3 day special military operation to free the oppressed people of Canada that live within US borders
