Fun fact: Much of the southern states of the united states of america used to be part of Mexico. So Texans complaining about foreigners in "their" country are really misinformed

My dad would like that one

New Zealand ignored again...

Canada: ya we saw that coming

I am a bit frightened by how "accurate" this map seems to be

!

Wow I’m actually going to use this 😂

Yeah but what time is it?

Lol I thought something was wrong with the image for a moment…..

They blew up a few in the ocean near us too… {Oz}

Neum

I'm sure they have no regerts 😉

Still accurate but messes with my head. But, now it looks like a map in a JRPG.

This is closer. For a non-U.S. person, Florida and Disney World are one in the same.

And like, all rivers eventually flow into the ocean, man, so like, all the waters of this big blue marble are connected. Whooooooaaaa.

All of my efforts in learning geography have paid off in immediately understanding this joke rather than looking at it for 2 seconds and then deciding "that country must be called Togo". Worth it!!

What happens when they mix?

Help! My brain hurts!

Yea... True that.

THIS

That's why their is the House of Representatives. This is to make sure everywhere and everyone is represented equally and you don't have people making decisions when they don't live there. This just shows a plethora of ignorance.

Republic of states. Design is California can govern itself very different than Vermont. States come together for military, post office, patents, treaties. If US had true democracy, states would have split apart long ago.

Now look at the number of Representatives. This is only half the equation.

Disagree. It isn't just the head count. It is representation by region. If California had all the reps they would vote themselves water from neighbor states. If (hypothetically) the "pig states" from that other map had all the reps, they would vote themselves laws that favored the pig farmers. Or, to put it another way, do you really want all of California's laws to be nation wide? Everything under the sun causes cancer, half your garden equipment outlawed, etc. It's not a perfect system but it is trying to find balance so all areas are represented.

I'm guessing that the same disproportionality also exists for presidential elections.

I'm not saying it's a good system. But the whole point is that the Senate isn't population based, in order to ensure small states aren't powerless. The house is for the people, and population based.

There were only 13 colonies at the time. The two senators per state is then balanced by the representatives in the House, based on population. Pay attention to your Constitution.

The stated purpose of the two senators per state idea was to ensure that smaller, less populated states would have equal say in the laws. The House of Representatives is the proportional body.

States Rights!!! GET IT!!!!?????

The house of Representatives is based on population, not the Senate.

... absolutely...

Please, we don't any more senators from crazy California!

Why the electoral college needs to go or be fixed.

The electoral college is meant to keep the United States from becoming a single state. Each state has their own laws. California makes laws for California, not the entire nation.

The electoral votes c**p needs to go away. A lot of the time the person that people vote for doesn't even win.

This map is highly inaccurate. It was only men in the original 13 colonies, all along the eastern seaboard, who came up with the United States' form of government. Most of these locations are omitted from the gold highlights. And most of the highlighted areas were not part of the United States at the time.

Flip the political lean of these largely populated states - flip the ones complaining...

now compare house of representatives - this is only half the story

And this is why we are a mess. ANd the Electoral College.

F**k California.

DINOSAUR!!!!!!

It's the goldilocks zone

Oh... is that why I can't find my body?

F**k Brexit!!!!!!

Can confirm the tail, my dogs tail is like a whip.
