You’d be surprised how many map enthusiasts there are, if you’re not already one of them. And to those who think that cartography is a legacy from an ancient world, let me tell you, it’s exactly the opposite.

Think of it as a mode of information telling, quite like story-telling, but with its own subtle rules and features. Today, maps can tell us all kinds of miscellaneous things you had no clue existed and the “Lover Of Geography” Instagram page is a perfect online source for that. Followed by 58.3k followers, the page is dedicated to sharing “high quality posts about interesting topics.” They also promise “you won't get bored here,” and they deliver.

Below we collected some of the most entertaining entries from the page, so scroll down and upvote your favorites as you go. After you’re done, make sure to check out our previous posts with unusual maps that may change how you see the world here, here and here.

    To find out more about the creator behind the Lover Of Geography Instagram page, Bored Panda reached out to 20-year-old content creator from the Netherlands Melih Orkun Köksal, also known by his Instagram handle @melykoksal. Melih told us that he started this page in December 2019 when he was only 17 years old. “I currently study Earth Sciences at the College of Rotterdam. Other than geography my hobbies are going to the gym and hanging out with friends, not very different from a normal 20-year-old,” he said.

    When asked about his interest in cartography, Melih told us that this fascination began in his childhood. “As a little kid as young as 5 years old, I always had a little bit of passion for world maps or countries. I had a huge world map in my room. Every day when I came back home from school I kept staring at the world map in my room because of how fascinating it was to me while most other kids just wouldn't care. I was playing games with myself trying to find all the countries and cities on the map. Or I played geography games on my PC after school.”

    In 1672 The Dutch crowds did what crowds do best, namely lose all semblance of sense or sanity. The prime minister of the country was stripped naked, mutilated, and according to some reports, had their livers removed and eaten by the crowds. “C’est la vie, c’est la guerre,” as the French say.

    Moreover, the creator of the Lover Of Geography page recounted that he always wanted to know where the countries are located as a child. “I often asked my parents questions like 'Dad, where is this country located' because I was simply so interested in locations. My parents would notice this weird obsession and in a matter of time, when I was 6 years old, I knew all countries and their capital cities,” he said. Throughout his childhood, Melih said, his knowledge of maps grew “so much to the point that teachers in elementary school or my own parents had to ask me for extra information when we were going on vacation to a different country. Kids in school I was asked me to help them with their geography assignments.”

    Years later, when Melih was 16 or 17, he saw all these mappers on Instagram and he thought he could do that too, but better. So he wanted a page to share his “own map style and not just stolen maps from Reddit. I wanted to entertain people and educate them at the same time by making maps more fun.”

    Recently, Melih has noticed maps popping up everywhere online since 2016. He believes that now younger folks are being targeted with cartography.“I am trying to select maps people will look at without just scrolling. It needs to be interesting and fun but it also needs to be based on reliable sources. So I try to share maps with the combination of these 2 things, the maps that are fun and come from reliable sources.”

    Hungary is not absolutely correct. Yet. We, Hungarians think that Viktor Orban actually supports Putin, that's why he acts like that, but he still wants to get money from EU. We hope this will change in 2 days finally, because Hungarian people stand with Ukraine <3

    Melih also added that sometimes he uses hot topics to gain more audience, “For example, during the World Cup, I made more football-related posts.”When asked whether he ever experiments with the design and style of his maps, Melih said that he indeed has done multiple experiments with the design but he prefers to stick with one style. “So my page will be more recognizable as if it's my own brand,” he said and added that “I tend to go for a minimalist look because it's easier to look at and understand what's going on on the map.”

    1. Was ist ein Pole ohne Hände? Eine Vertrauensperson. 2. Ein kleines Teufelchen will klauen gehen. Erst kommt es nach Washington und klopft am Weißen Haus. Der Präsident macht auf und das Teufelchen sagt: "Ich bin das kleine Teufelchen mit dem goldenen Eimerchen und ich will hier klauen!" Sagt der Präsident: "Hau ab oder du kommst nach Guantanamo!" Dann geht das Teufelchen nach Moskau: "Ich bin das kleine Teufelchen mit dem goldenen Eimerchen und ich will hier klauen!" Sagt der Präsident: "Hau ab oder du kommst nach Sibirien!" Dann geht das Teufelchen nach Warschau: "Ich bin das kleine Teufelchen... Huch, wo ist den mein goldenes Eimerchen?!"

    Growing up in England, I heard quite a few 'dumb Irish paddy' jokes. Spending time in Iran, I heard those exact same jokes, only now aimed at Azerbaijan. I suspect different nations might be telling the same few jokes the world over, just with different counties as the butt.

    Lol! A Finn, Swede, Norwegian, British and American are in a plane. Suddenly the plane starts to shake and the pilot shouts, we need to lighten the load. Someone needs to jump. The British shouts: "for the Queen" and jumps. Pilot says it's not enough, someone else must go. American jumps and shouts "for Uncle Sam". Not enough says the pilot, one more must go. Norwegian and Finn glance eachother, shout "for Nordic cooperation" and throw the Swede out of the plane.

    I take it that this is being actively spoken in conversation, rather than learnt. Most Brits will have learnt a second language to some degree at school, and for a long time that was predominantly French, but we also learn German, Spanish and Mandarin, we just don't tend to use them!

    How is the test done. Each individuals from different European countries listened to the same audio from the Dutch language. Based on that audio they have their opinion. These are the average answers each country gave. Some are also mixed on opinions based on when they visited a country that spoke this specific language

    This is very wrong cause of translation and cultural context. In US there is a breakfast, lunch and dinner. In Poland we eat breakfast too, so called "second breakfast" (smaller than lunch, usually), dinner (ofter 3-5 PM, most important meal) and supper (7-8 PM).
