    Shouldn’t they be using the 121 BCE version of Old Glory?

    I'm not a geographicist, but this looks right to me.

    Not sure about Jupiter, but Africa is more realistic than you'd think. Sinai is part of Egypt and in Asia, so you'd need all of Africa sans Egypt to be smaller than Sinai, which is probably true. Something something Mercator.

    I get the joke of tiny us and China being a play on how America-centric the internet can be when they may not be as central to everyone. Sounds a bit defensive though.

    The all encompassing Roman Empire meme may be somewhat amusing: nice try

    But that tiny Africa in Africa is funny. It builds on so many recent threads about the limitations of popular Mercator projection maps, and intended or not, back to how Africa frequently gets shortchanged for attention, relative to how big and how populous it is. And I’ll give a chuckle for the nod to poorly educated adults who can’t recognized basic geography or math. Thumbs up for this part
