I was expecting this one to be interactive but then I noticed the alt text. I'm not a geography nerd who's going to explain this one

The map looks correct at first glance, but he's added another 14 states by drawing the borders wrong XD
Working from the bottom left... California, Arizona, New Mexico.... Wtf?
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Old Mexico, Texas …
I’ve got: Neo Hampshire, Middle Carolina, Outdianna, Tennetucky, Rkansas, Northwest Dakota, West South Dakota, Souther Dakota, The Real South Dakota, Coloradon’t, Becausoming, Ariz Oh No!, Udaho & Trail
Ah yes the great states of Arkansas and Arkan'tsas, of Kansas and Kan'tsas.
A couple of my friends had a go at this one:
Some notable quotes:
"Wrong. It goes washingyon, oregon, gravity falls, hotel california"
"pennywise AND ohio, rough spot for maine"
"New Hampsire is not a state. I haven’t heard shit from someone in New Hampshire"
Texas, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Colorado again-... wait a minute
Ah yes, Washington, Oregon, Orecan't, and California!
Even Washington is mostly "S Seattle". C'mon Cascadia! Fuck these Orecan't posers, let's go hang with Hawaii. 🤙🏼
I'm just tickled that this map shows MN's northwest angle as the (pseudo)exclave that it is.
My favorite is asking people what the 51st state is, Hawaii or Alaska?
How many states are in New Mexico?
North and South Dakota now have a Middle Dakota buffer zone.
Most forget to put both New and Old Hampshire
Old Hampshire is surprisingly close to the original Zealand.
East Maine is so much better than West Maine.
Is that west maine? I thought it was old hampshire
Canadian here, from the outside it seems to just be 3 states. Almost crazy, crazy and don't come here if you want to exist.
The United States of America
United Stateses
I don't know if that's West Ohio or East Indiana, but either way, it is a crime against nature
We're always as war with East ~~Asia~~ Indiana.
Tennessee and Elevenessee
Ninessee pronounced Nanci
NW, NE, SW, & SE Colorado
Unless you're including all the minor islands and territories, the U.S. only has 50 states to speak of. I know I could identify my state, Texas, Hawaii, California and a couple others. If there are people who can name up to 50 states and where they are on a map, that's pretty damn impressive!
Calm down. Yes, of course there are a few people who can, but fortunately most of them live in that small part of the world that is still outside the US.
That's true. I doubt most U.S. citizens could actually name most of the states or their locations on a map of the U.S. All I'm saying is that if they can, that's pretty impressive - because so many young people today can't even name a country at random.
LoL, New Mexico A & B
The chef is intact but is holding 2 plates now.
I like Central Carolina and Kennesaw.
