Did they merge Belarus and Ukraine on this map? Also Poland’s out here trying to be American.

Belarus was actually always Ukrainian territory, historically...

I mean, if that excuse works for russia, why not us?

Im still partial to the 1957 borders agreed upon in the board game RISK.

You can see a faint border - they’re just both gray, I assume for no data like Kaliningrad and Albania.

Poland is actually trying to be Amerikkkam, they are obsessed. They even tried going for the extreme racism.

In terms of area, aren't the size of the various American grids roughly the same size as the ones that comprise the individual countries in Europe?
