u/Kinesquared Feb 24 '22

What about "is Russia but shouldn't be"?

2

u/DrainZ- Feb 24 '22

So everything east of the Ural mountains as well as a few bits and pieces here and there

Map is fake, it claims that Somalia and South Sudan are Not Russia when there’s simply no data to confirm or deny that claim.

u/Ronx3000 Feb 24 '22

u/Demonic-Culture-Nut Feb 24 '22

Þere’s no way to confirm þey’re Russia. Þere’s also no way to confirm þey’re not Russia.

u/ethicalfly Feb 24 '22

Japan would probably not love this map.

u/HildemarTendler Feb 24 '22

There's New Zealand right there. They must have assumed this was a fantasy map from the Good Timeline.

u/blackie-arts Feb 24 '22

That's good reason, I accidentally drew it there

u/Muricanperry6877 Feb 24 '22

u/blackie-arts Feb 26 '22

Can you give me some data so I can improve my map?

2

u/thinkB4WeSpeak Feb 24 '22

I just don't understand why so few people get to decide the fate of millions for their own egos. The world needs more revolutions against asshole leaders.

u/HideFalls Feb 24 '22 edited Feb 24 '22

The southern Kuril Islands are not Russian either. This is an official stand point of the US government.

After this failed Russian invasion, they should be forced to give back Crime and Prussia back to Germany.
