Germany and Denmark are totally messed up. Terrible, just terrible.

Do you mean the Democratic Republic of Congo or Congo?
Also, fuck the mercator projection
As soon as I saw the map, I thought how countries are not represented on a real size basis in the world map. A quick Internet search brought me to truesizeofcountries , a very cool project for anyone interested.
I love it.
Projecting a Mercator projection onto a curved surface... Greenland doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.
At least the map includes New Zealand
And yet they appear to have omitted Zealand.
You think the treatment of GREENLAND is bad? See if you can find the tiny spike that the peninsula and hundreds of islands that is Denmark has been reduced to on this 😄
The Netherlands is not more than a squiggly line here, looks like we need to claim some more sea.
Greenland is the most obvious (to my eye) case of the distortion that Mercator projection causes at near-polar latitudes.
I'm not anywhere near as confident that I could say what shape Denmark is at the best of times.
I could say what shape Denmark is
Middle finger.
That's completely fair 😁
Having that tattoo 100 years ago and over decades must have sucked...
Yeah, it's me again, please remove the border and re-color Poland, Austria, ...
Nevermind, German lost, change the color back and add borders...
It’s already out of date because it’s missing the 2011 border between Sudan and South Sudan.
The map is also kind of a blobby mess in the Middle East, with a few countries missing, and they forgot the border between Algeria and Mauritania.
I'm guessing the person with this tattoo gets them colored in once they've visited that country, which if so I think that's pretty cool
Republic of Congo or Democratic Republic of Congo?
Antarctic drilling is legal again
“Places I’ve been”
Colors in America, but not Alaska.
Probably counting only the contiguous 48
That a fucking dope tattoo
(Proceeds to scratches his Ass)
I thought you were a Geography Major?
(whispers sensually in his ear) I am.
Downunder 😏
Just don't have an American girlfriend
Where's South Sudan?
To the south of Sudan, actually.
Luckily, he hasn't gotten Sudan colored in yet so there's still time to draw the new border.
But that's the problem with a tattoo like this: imagine having to get a cover-up because some inconsiderate separatist jerks won their "freedom and right of self-determination," SMH!
They might've got the tattoo before South Sudan split from Sudan.
Lol I wanna see on a dudes big fat hard belly. You know the type. None of that floppy belly shit.
