It's incorrect.
Burma should be Myanmar.
Allod posted 06-28-99 12:26 PM ET
What kind of a map is that? Where are Liechtenstein, Andorra, Vatican, San Marino and Monaco? I mean, FIVE countries missing?!?
Valtyr posted 06-28-99 01:15 PM ET
Yes, and Norway should be Noreg !
Alphaman posted 06-28-99 01:39 PM ET
There is a purpose behind this map but your puny minds
would not be able to grasp that.
And this is the world according to the Uni of Texas.
Forward all hate-emails to them.

Hey, wait a minute, what is that small piece of land marked as U.S north-west of Canada? Whatta hell is that place?

Q: NO! It was the military regime that changed the name, I like Burma much better! It's stupid, it's like German people trying to force everyone to call Germany Deutchland.
Valtyr posted 06-28-99 05:16 PM ET
From now on all of you must refer to Norway as Noreg! Because I say so!
Alphaman posted 06-29-99 04:16 AM ET

My house is lined with tin foil - you can see it from space.
This map is incorrect

... it's also a Chinese conspiracy as Taiwan is written in smaller letters than any other country.
Valtyr posted 06-29-99 03:01 PM ET
One atlas? Try 8 .

Maps are cool.

I addition to being addicted to games and this forum I'm also addicted to maps. Yup, I'm a sad nerd. Don't have an anorak, though .
Alphaman posted 06-29-99 03:20 PM ET
Its OK.
At least you are honest.
Most people are in denial.
Noisy posted 06-29-99 04:14 PM ET
Wot, no Gibraltar or Falklands?
Greenland and French Guiana in lower case too. Are they protectorates, or something? Do they have representation in the UN?
(I love maps, too!)
Noisy
Dreadnought posted 06-29-99 04:19 PM ET
Hmmmm, since Greenland is a territory of Denmark, wouldnt that really make it the largest country in Europe? Hmmmmm. Too bad it's barren.......
Q Cubed posted 06-29-99 09:32 PM ET
Yes, jig, but since it's the ruling government, you might as well call it by what they want it to be called.
I prefer Burma as well.
But if we call Norway Noreg, then the following apply:
Japan = Nihon
Korea = Hanguk
Valtyr posted 06-29-99 09:55 PM ET
Sweden = Sverige
Denmark = Danmark
Finland = Suomi/Finland
Iceland = �sland
Greenland = Kalaalit Nunaat
Faeroe Islands = F�royar
Germany = Deutschland
Netherlands = Nederland
Belgium = Belgi�/Belgique
Austria = �sterreich
Switzerland = Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera/Helvetia
er, just forget it
Valtyr posted 06-29-99 10:01 PM ET
Q: No, the point is that you have to call Norway Noreg because I say so .
Valtyr posted 06-29-99 10:04 PM ET
Or at least I will insist you do when I become the military dictator of Norway, er, I mean Noreg. Mwahahahaha!
Hugo Rune posted 06-30-99 02:51 AM ET
I'll hereby call Norway Norge instead!
Oh, and Hungary should be Magyarorsz�g.
Resource Consumer posted 06-30-99 09:04 AM ET
Noisy,
Don't you mean Malvinas?
Valtyr posted 06-30-99 02:10 PM ET
Hugo: When I become dictator, bokm�l and riksm�l go out the window and nynorsk will rule supreme as the only legal written version of the Norwegian language. Hence Noreg and not Norge! Mwahahahahaha! I will torture the Easterners and riksm�l-babbling snobs with nynorsk until they emigrate to Sweden where they can try to ruin the beautiful Swedish language as they have managed to almost ruin Norwegian! I'm not MAD! Mwahahahaha!!!
