    Meanwhile Montanans are just trying to get through the day and Maine hopes Connecticut sempai will notice them.

    And Mississippi is needlessly confusing itself.

    Why is Sri Lanka larger than Persia (assuming that's what it is)? I can understand distortions based off of information, but surely someone had circumnavigated the island and been able to tell it wasn't ginormous?

    Look at Britain. Or even Greece.

    The map is either a fake, or highly stylized and exaggerated on purpose, or the person was just bad at mapmaking.

    Since it came up in a different thread, I figured that this could be a good place to clear some things up around the Nordic Countries.

    [​IMG]
    5 countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden) 5 languages (4 North Germanic 1 Finn-Ugric). Standard Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are usually mutually intelligible, Icelandic and FInnish definitely not.

    Scandinavia
    [​IMG]

    3 countries - Denmark, Norway, Sweden (the oldest nation-states, basically Sweden colonized Finland and Norway followed by Denmark colonized Iceland).

    Hm so Finland isn't considered Scandinavian in spite of the heavy Swedish influence? I've been to both, and while clealy distinct (especially in language... Finnish is nuts), I thought they were both Scandinavian. Huh.
