Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.

This map brings up so many questions. One could assume that some sort of magic shifted the earth enlarging it, or it's an alternate reality of some sort. How does politics work in this version of America? This is easily twice the area of the real USA, I imagine it's basically impossible to govern these lands federally. It's already difficult enough as it is in reality with all these incompetents in charge.
What would the population look like? Would it be the same in all real states and a proportional amount in new ones? Or would it be more spread out, with urban centers farther apart?
Is there a source for this image? Like, is there a preexisting lore for it? Or can I roll with this and have fun?
London has 12 Grimmauld Place. The US has 88 states hidden in plain sight.
realistically the west coast would either be Spanish or maybe japanese
There's a high probability that the rest of the world is wider as well.... since it seems like the states never grew higher.... is there a whole new section at the equator filled with new continents/countries?
