Argentina. Finally, a country that Trump can buy.
Summer skiing coming soon to the US?
What now? I kinda didn't pay too close attention to the news.
Something something orange-krasnov did something stupid again?
What a funny coincidence, both those countries absorbed the majority of Nazis that got out of Germany and weren't kidnapped by the Soviets.
I wonder when Russia is leaving it.
US government is prioritizing killing civilians, so it makes sense that they don't care about health.
poor taiwan
Actually, California just rejoined independently
New Zealand doesn't exist.
Poor Taiwan, only excluded due to pressure of China.
What is this new Zealand you speak of? Some sort of mythical place?
I don't know, but I heard private gardens are illegal there
Tolkien made it up
I can't even see a Zeeland, clearly the whole thing is another Aussie prank and they should be kicked out for Insubordination
Zeeland is a province in the Netherlands (the origin of the name). So it's on the map, but it isn't new and it's hard to even see a rough shape of where the Netherlands is. But it's there.
Argentina is going above and beyond to try their hardest to be a US colony.
#MapsWithoutNZ
Yeah, that's a new one, to just cut off the whole timezone...
Nothing going on over there except that square box that lists terrain types and distances and shit.

Leela: Look, I know there are no car-chases, but this is important. One of these two men will become President of the World.
Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States.
Leela: The United States is part of the world.
Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time.
"Wait... He can't do that! It's against the constitution!"
"Is that so? Well, I happen to know a place where the Constitution doesn't mean squat! The US Supreme Court!"
When even North Korea has more common sense...
Don't let the boys over at .ml and hexbear hear you say that.
Taiwan is presumably red because if Taiwan was green China would be red. So, the WHO just sighs and goes "ok, Taiwan, would you mind accepting 'observer status' or something?", and Taiwan's rep just sighs too and says, "sure, we get it."
Taiwan isn't member of the UNO, and thus ain't member of the WHO either.
It had observer status until China got it kicked out in 2016
Ah yeah, Argentina, a country that is known for it's beef production and it's "Libertarian" President known for silencing dissent. I'm sure a new plague won't come out from Argentina in regards to beef or beef products. No siree. Won't happen.
Don't worry, they'll name it after the place that discovers it like we did with the Spanish flu that actually came from Kansas
You guys just don’t get it because your health care system spends money on sick people. Here, we cash in on sick people, so it’s only good business to make more of them.
I hate my country.
California should be shaded green.
WA and NYC too, plus oregon is working on a cooperation agreement? There's a couple other states funding WHO cooperation and state research groups as well
Is California a country?
Not... yet.
Not ever. Even when every male under the age of 50 is conscripted into one of Trump's pointless wars against former allies, Democrats won't do shit because resistance is illegal and they have an unshakably legalist worldview. Calexit was already a complete joke before their government started executing their own citizens in broad daylight with no repercussion - legal or otherwise.
Americans: stop with the escapist fantasies and start finding actual ways to fight back because your elected representatives aren't going to do it for you.
Tbf, (1) Republicans were the same as well, prior to Trump, so this was not a R vs. D issue so much as an anti-establishment vs. establishment one; and (2) the USA has literal actual nukes, making anarchism far less attractive in practice than it might naively sound in theory. Also, (3) people are just as uneducated this year compared to roughly one year ago, i.e. vulnerable AF, and (4) Mask owns everything now, so having to return to an era where not only do you lack satellites but this time the other side does have them, plus drones... is not a tiny wrinkle in an otherwise unstoppable plan. It's more like an unedumacashiated rabble fighting with sticks and stones vs. computers with actual nukes. The uprising in Planet of the Apes was the real fantasy, whereas irl they would have zero chance, given today's technology.
Also note that wherever you are in the world, this is coming for you too, in some form or another. e.g. Brexit happened long before Trump was elected the second time (the first being more or less an accident?). Even Greenland has elements of people within it who for some reason seem to welcome the idea of becoming part of the USA. This is not a uniquely American phenomena: we only thought that WWII won against fascism, but in the end fascism may win out overall, world-wide.
And until we figure out what the real enemy is, why trade off Trump for e.g. Musk to come save us? The idea that this hole that the USA has dug itself into is somehow "fixable" might be the real escapist fantasy, and all the more so when you consider the child-like populace. Edit: but of course if it were fixable, that would require enormous efforts, and not be just a casual endeavor.

So two countries run by idiots and one country that doesn't officially exist
Why is Argentina going to leave the WHO?
Because Milei is an idiot Trump ally with similar beliefs and he is strongly against covid lockdowns and believes they were "crimes against humanity".
Milei is a criminal Trump ally
Idiot is lightyears behind these scum.

To give a bit more context, the usa has been influencing elections in latin america and there has been a trend in the last 10 years of trump-like leaders in the far right around here. Argentina has elected one of them in the last elections, and he's replicating the trump agenda and extending his power to the region, while destroying the internal economy
In case you want to dive into it, this may be a good starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_wave
USA, always number-one-ing idiocy
Wtf Kosovo?
Kosovo and Taiwan. Probably because global recognition is not there completely.
Yep. Taiwan is not in because China objects them joining. Kosovo apparently never applied to join since their independence.
