Why isn’t Spain just eating Portugal?
Why does Russia, the largest of the countries, not simply eat the rest?
I mean, they’re trying. Not very successfully as of late but they are.
They’re having a little trouble with Ukraine atm.
The size of Portugal the Man compared to Spain:
I went through like three full thought cycles before realizng this was a shitpost. Good job.
What a shitty post
If you think that’s impressive, just look at the size of Spain compared to Spain
What are those rectangle territories on the top left?
I’ll assume you’re joking but funnily enough, there is piece of Spain in France:
That’s so Spain to just leave an exclave in France
Those are just decoration
Man, the mercator projection really messes up the perspective, I never would have guessed!!
Wow, it covers Spain almost entirely
Idk… have you adjusted for map distortion?
Is 5 times smaller than country Listenbourg, who is
Situated at the Left side of Portugal .
The artist should’ve gone full 🤪
This might be my favorite shitpost of all time haha
I don’t get it. The joke is “haha it’s actually not a misleading projection”… ?
Well not exactly because it’s still a misleading projection, because Spain is also incorrectly projected given how far north it is
I meant misleading in a relative sense. In any case, this post makes no sense to me.
Mercator’s deformation show up when you move countries north/south. Since Portugal only moved slightly East the apparent size basically didn’t change. (You can even see and compare real Portugal just left of the red projection)
Right. The reason I don’t get the post is that I thought everyone would know and see this ^
I feel like this post is taking a picture of a cube, calling it a cube, then I’m supposed to doubt that it’s a cube. Which I wouldn’t…
That’s right, it goes in the square hole
Do the size of Mallorca compared to Spain next please :)
The mercator projection really oversells the size of portugal. If you ordered a large pizza you’ll have to eat it outside of the country.
So true, it fits on my phone screen. A large pizza definitely wouldn’t fit.
This Azores erasure will not stand.
Huh, I wonder how it compares to that other country to the west there.
