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.

That's part of Australia. It's where they plan to host Eurovision if they ever actually win it.

Old Atlantis Republic (this map needs updating)

Atlantis (according to Plato, who made Atlantis up in the first place) is off the coast of North-east Africa.

Only if you go so far northeast you circle the globe.. This location is northwest of most of Africa.

Looks like a graphic design, marketing, and printing company that caters to businesses. Either that, or a company that makes toys and leashes for dogs.

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

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.

16

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.

It's the Basque country if the Spanish government weren't such buzzkills with their whole fighting terrorism, ETA Bad crap. But soon, soon

14

They straight up submerged half the basque country with all the people living there, they're brutal

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

The Bay of Biscay. It was notorious when I were a lad. More ferries back then I suppose.

American here... not cheating by looking it up on Google... Non-Extantistan? The Spanish/French border doesn't look like that...

Correct the map is fake. It's like splitting Texas into two states and asking Europeans to name it.

3

Simple! It's [REDACTED]! Home of [REDACTED]! It's language of [REDACTED] is world famous for [REDACTED] and it has very good relations with [REDACTED] and Wales!

Looks like right where the glans meets the shaft.

Idk, between Spain and France...did y'all give the Basques something?

8
lemy.lol

You only find it when you're not looking for it!

Btw, howdy! We meet once again ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )

I knew it was water, the actual name of it though I had zero recollection.

7

EU is expanding east nowadays. And not even the dutch are that good claming land from the sea.

5

That land is shared between Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, and Andorra. They all control all of it simultaneously. As such, everyone speaks Catalan, French, German and Italian (so, 100% of the population is quadralingual). Also, it's the richest territory in the world with a GDP per capita bigger than that of the rest of Europe combined. Because of this, everyone is a millionaire, and 20% of the population is a billionaire.

So what's it called? Macroland (because it's massive compared to the micronations that control it). Also, everything in between the parentheses is part of the name.

Ah, the rare pre-sinking of Atlantis European map Wherever did you find a copy?

Man, when I watched the first episode of the reboot with my kid and Josh called Steve and Joe and Steve talked to us, like the grown ups that watched him when we were little. I teared up. No shame.
