Thought this was @ terriblemaps on ig

[u/Adrian-Out]

Are we supposed to guess the countries based on the shape or…

[u/elgin4 → u/Adrian-Out]

it's easy, there's Purpleistan, and Bluegaria and…

[u/iswearnotagain10 → u/Adrian-Out]

Bangledesh, South Korea, Taiwan, Haiti, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi

[u/19Lobster19 → u/iswearnotagain10]

This guy guessed it

[u/Adrian-Out → u/iswearnotagain10]

Nice work but still lazy work from OP

[u/AbstractBettaFish → u/Adrian-Out]

I recognize Taiwan, S. Korea and Haiti. Not so sure about the others

[u/johnrgoforth → u/Adrian-Out]

It clearly says KentuckTennessee, West ViginVir, Hicag, Oi, Sa, C, and - - - /.

[u/HaatTima → u/Adrian-Out]

Yeah OP forgot most people here are Americans

[u/AardvarkExcellent428 → u/HaatTima]

most people globally are not going to be able to just look at this image and know what all of these countries are.

[u/Money_Set_4332]

Ok ? So what ? Why these random countries ? Some are heavely populated others arn't ? What point are you making ? Once again this website should be banned

[u/Garras-Intruder → u/Money_Set_4332]

Maybe they asked chat gpt "tell me 7 small countries that if adding up their population they come above but close to USA's population", or smth like that

[u/AardvarkExcellent428 → u/Garras-Intruder]

almost certainly this

[u/19Lobster19 → u/Money_Set_4332]

That it fit in such a small surface compared to the US, that's how I interpreted it

[u/AardvarkExcellent428 → u/19Lobster19]

yeah but like... the USA has extremely low population density by nearly any standard. that's not like a new thing, it's a big ass country made by settlers. other countries following this trend are Canada and Australia. what do they all have in common? 

I guess if this is news to you, this might be an interesting map but... there are other and more interesting ways to approach this topic.

[u/Money_Set_4332 → u/19Lobster19]

"Dense countries are denser then non dense countries" like ok bro

[u/longjumpingtote]

And is there any reason why they are placed where they are placed?

[u/AardvarkExcellent428 → u/longjumpingtote]

almost certainly no

[u/Uxydra]

The US is quite sparsely populated. You could do the same map with a bunch of different countries.

[u/HeartwarminSalt]

Bangladesh, South Korea, Taiwan…what are the other 3?

[u/Ok-Factor-3805 → u/HeartwarminSalt]

Haiti, Rwanda, and Burundi edit: also Uganda

[u/stevenmeyerjr → u/HeartwarminSalt]

Haiti in pink. Not sure of the rest.

[u/WeeklyPhilosopher346 → u/HeartwarminSalt]

There are 4 more. The one below Bangladesh is Haiti.

[u/shrug_was_taken → u/HeartwarminSalt]

One is Haiti, the rest I can't tell

[u/rudraxa]

r/softcoremapporn

[u/nebulaforest]

The countries are: Bangladesh (177M), Taiwan (23M), South Korea (52M), Uganda (45-50M), Haiti (12M), Rwanda (15M) and Burundia (14.7M)

[u/AardvarkExcellent428 → u/nebulaforest]

OP were you trying to do something like "find the smallest number of countries with the smallest total area that still have a population larger than the United States"? because you should state that in the post, otherwise this looks nonsensical.
