I'm European and can't name it. I'm really bad at geography

Edit: looked it up on Google maps. Well... I said I'm bad at geography

I'm worried, but I really appreciated your honesty

Hey at least now you know.

ITT: People legitimately trying to name it, people saying "I'm American and I know this is fake," and people who get the joke trying to come up with a good name.

This is the closest reading sensation I've had to trying to listen to two conversations at the same time.

Basquistan.

The Basque population finally won their freedom, and carved out a bit of France for some elbow room.

Texas is at the bottom of the map, genius. That's obviously West Nevada.

I guess you could say that's a rough Newfoundland before it split from Europe (or whatever it was called back then)

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

It was Oldfoundland back in those days.

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

This honestly had me confused for longer than I'd like to admit.

I'm from east asia so european geography isn't my forte. But I like to think I've played even civilizations and total war games to have some familiarity with Europe.

As an American, this one is easy. That is the strange foreign socialist hellhole with a name I can’t remember because it’s probably not even in English.
