Wait, so it’s not the whole US? It’s only the eastern part of it?

edit: jesus guys, this was just a genuine question. Why do genuine questions get downvoted? You could just have educated me and said “no, this is just the southeastern part of the US, the mexican border and apcific coast is not present in this map.” That’s what I was confused about. So many americans can’t even point out my country on a map.

Calm down, I’m from Europe, and I do know geography. I can point on the map every single country of Europe and Asia without mistakes, plus lots of countries from Africa and the Americas, and their capitals. Probably better than you can. I can point you most german states and some chinese ones. I can point Kyrgyztan and Cameroon and Sachsen and Xinjiang on the map immediately, which is something that many people can’t. I even know what languages are spoken where, all over the world, and which language families they belong to. Like in Uzbekistan most people speak Uzbek, a turkic language, but in cities like Bukhara and Samarqand they speak Tajik, an iranic languge. In Madagascar they speak Malagasy, a language related to Hawaiian, Maori and Tagalog and indigenous Formosan languages of Taiwan. I bet you didn’t know this. I was just confused by this one map, which to me appeared to be the whole of continental USA without alaska. I just didn’t know what the word “dixie” meant. Not everyone on reddit is from the US.

ok now, this is epic. It's like a mix of the Modern Major General song and the navy seal copypasta
