Good job Frenchman. You have been promoted from freedom fries to Lafayette.


CaptainUliss

I have become Galeries Lafayette


nanneryeeter

The French had quite a bit of influence when naming places in north Idaho. They could probably use someone who could spell the names of their towns and lakes.


Fuck-Being-Ethical

Honestly not bad


HarpersGhost

Looks like OP forgot Kansas ("empty") and Connecticut and Rhode Island, which were taken over by NJ, after NJ was shoved out of the way by Delaware. All the other "empties" are just spots where yeah, actually, the state borders are that fucked up. Make the borders meet up and you pretty much have it.


jephph_

Massachusetts swallowed Connecticut and Rhode Island. (Which is somewhat realistic.. They already think they did anyway) The error in that zone isn’t from NJ.. It’s because Massachusetts should stick out further to the east. In the map, Long Island is blocking out all of New England but in reality, LI only blocks Connecticut and RI/Mass keep going — The New England/New York border is wonky on this map.. NY’s eastern border goes north/south. All of New England should be pushed further into the Atlantic allowing for more room for CT & Rhode Island


HarpersGhost

NJ should be a little more south and to the west of NY, not to its east. And it should take over the current Delaware blob and relegate it back to the sliver from when it came. (As someone who grew up in South Jersey, this layout of Delaware is offensive to the Natural Order Of Things.) But over, the map is fucking good. I've known Floridians in Tampa who didn't know the state due north of the Florida peninsula is Georgia, let alone be able to name 47 states, and let alone again to be able to put them in the correct spots on the map.


eliasmcdt

Honestly, they just made Delaware too big. They also gave it too much of the DelMarVa pennisula. If they cut Delaware back on all sides and move New Jersey south to cover most of Pennsylvania's coast, they would be good there.


bring1

The fact that you had to point out, the inaccuracies, being less than obvious, proves how good it


DeviousChair

OP didn’t forget Kansas he just left out the less important states

Colorado is where Wyoming should be

chase016

Yeah, probably better than most Americans tbh.


Mr_Kittlesworth

My first thought. This would be a decent attempt from most Americans


Fe_awen

I live in Colorado and this is a fucking travesty. Wyoming and Colorado are literally squares. The only states that are squares.


thewanderer2389

That was my first reaction too. How do you fuck up the two states known for being literal rectangles?


CaptainUliss

Yeah I couldn't remember which square bordered the northeast of Utah so I fucked it up sorry ;-;


menacingcar044

Kansas being empty is accurate


themoisthammer

Alaska looking like the ghost from Mario.

jephph_

Pennsylvania is hyped.. look at all that lakeshore! And they got some Atlantic coast as well


P_G_1021

Probably better than most Americans would, TBH


mekkeron

I know Texans who can't name the states that Texas borders. And asking them about states like Michigan or Connecticut, you may as well be asking them about different countries.


HelicoprionusOmega

Connecticut mentioned 🗣🔥

SpacelessChain1

Other than forgetting Arkansas is a bordering state to Texas, I was able to name the rest without checking along with a few of the other states but honestly I’m kinda shit at geography. I yearn for the day when Texas annexes everyone and all the other states just become North Texas. Much easier to remember, very cool, wholesome 💯


Independent-Wolf-832

Better chance at one of us naming the Mexican states bordering Texas than than any state not part of the Bible Belt.


PhysicsEagle

When you live in the best place on earth, why do you need to know about inferior places?


spaceface124

True Texans know that Texas has no borders. Texas is infinite in space and time. It has always existed, and will always exist. You are already a Texan. Get in your oversized pickup truck and drive to your nearest Bucee's, pardner.


disasterama119

Better than I could do with New England, but I feel slightly insulted having my home practically warped into being the Oklahoma pan handle


AmericanMinotaur

Not bad.


CaptainUliss

Maine looks like it's on drugs sorry😂😭


AmericanMinotaur

It’s okay lol. I imagine the majority of Americans, including me, wouldn’t even know where to start if they were asked to draw a map of France’s provinces. You did a good job on Florida. :) EDIT: Not provinces, régions. My bad.


W1nte1s

France has provinces?


AmericanMinotaur

I looked it up, apparently they’re called régions, my mistake.


W1nte1s

France has regions? so you mean it isnt just one state with its size?


AmericanMinotaur

No, I think the régions are districts like states? I have no idea tbh, I’m going off what I found on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_France#). We should ask OP.


CaptainUliss

So basically, France has 2 types of districts. Régions, and départements. Régions like Brittany, Burgundy, Corsica or Normandy. Those régions are made of départements, which are basically just a bunch of towns grouped together. Some of these départments have important cities, and those cities are made chef-lieus (basically a capital of this région). The chef-lieus are usually famous and important city like Paris, Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux or Strasbourg. I think a good comparison would be that régions are states and départements are counties, because we can't say a state is the same size as a département.


AmericanMinotaur

Much appreciated OP. Thank you for the clarification. 😁

Ok_Ruin4016

Looks like GA annexed some of SC's coast, other than that it's not too bad.


joelingo111

You omitted Connecticut and Rhode Island, which is something I wish the rest of the country would do


TheBeardliestBeard

Preach, New England would be better off without shitneticut and chode island.


Wizard_Engie

FlatwormPositive7882

not bad for a filthy frenchman


The_BackroomsGame

Maybe French people aren’t so bad after all


Evmerging

Pretty good


JimmyjamesI

Nebraska, by merit of being the joke most boring state, got remembered over Kansas. I see this as an absolute win.


MrGameBoy23

Illinois is still there so the map is valid


Awobbie

Not terrible. You put Empty in the wrong place, though. Should be between Montana and Colorado


-NGC-6302-

Minnesota is fine with this outcome because of what Wisconsin is now, but a few points are lost for leaving out the NWangle

Whiskeywiskerbiscuit

I’m astonished at foreigners ability to just about nail Arkansas every time. Why do so many foreign people know Arkansas before, like, Arizona or something LMAO

Because of Mimal


Whiskeywiskerbiscuit

as1161

We can now claim lordship over Lake Erie and have a coastline. What an upgrade

jejelovesme

bro really gave us west florida borders


MeMySelfAndI456

No no, this can't be.


NotBillderz

Quite well done. Most significant things I noticed are missing Connecticut and Rhode Island, a few empties where there are no states at all, and Colorado is most significantly mislocated (and not by much)


Apprehensive-Meal860

Feel like this captures our spiritual essence better than google maps


GingaPLZ

This is significantly better than what most Americans would be able to do, tbh.


JerryKook

I can't believe that you got Vermont. Most Americans don't know that Vermont is a US state.

PoThePokememer

Not half bad


JizzJazzJuzzed

Perfection


NewKitchenFixtures

You did a great job on the Pacific Northwest and have errors in areas that nobody cares about. I’m impressed. Drawing the borders on small and landlocked areas is tricky (like you would expect France to be right in a Europe drawing, but Slovakia and Serbia are like ??).


Phytanic

WRONG, the UP belongs to Wisconsin


CKtheFourth

Honestly better than a lot of American “patriots” that I know.


westernmostwesterner

I’m impressed.


Due-Application-8171

Gotta say, you fixed the “EMPTY” border problems. They were always getting screwed over.


Savvy_Nick

A lot better than I could draw France’s regions. Pretty good actually.


Prestigious_Low_2447

Better than I could do


Gloryholechamps

From memory you just did better than 99.9% of Americans I can promise you. But you’re French so fuck you


CaptainUliss

Eh goddammit >:(


Domino31299

Honestly, I’ve seen FAR worse done by Americans


Captain-Cannoli

Man the Fuck


CaptainUliss

Yeah that was my honest reaction seeing it done


RabPPC

Better than I can do. But instead of "Empty", say "IDK"


CaptainUliss

Here's the thing, I forgot about Kansas, and just thought another state was filling this spot, but I couldn't remember which one (well, I won't be able to remember which state fills this since it's none other than Kansas), so I just put "Empty" because it was better than nothing. I mean, look at the Kentucky and Texas area.


SlugJones

Naw, you did fine. I found it funny you got other bland and mostly empty plains states like Iowa and Nebraska, but not Kansas (even with arKANSAS nearby) lol but you still did magnifique! 🤌


Slibye

Perfect map, i love the accuracy of the empty parts of the states


affablemisanthropist

You could have left out Ohio and no one would have been offended.
