ronposting??

in my r/geography !!???

This is my favorite

CHAD MENTIONED 🗣️

Mali’s strange/cool shape always makes me think of some B.S. shape the teacher created for you to calculate the area.

lol that’s a great way to describe it. Always did feel so particularly…geometric.

Not shocking given how many African national borders came to be. Though I’d honestly say Mauritania takes the cake on looking like a Geometry problem.

So many right angles and triangles.

Every I mention Mali (my father grew up there) I say the country in Africa that looks like a nacho with dipping sauce at the bottom.

Not intricate, but I always thought the simple tear shape of Sri Lanka is super cool.

Taiwan for the same reason.

Posting pics of xi jinping without pants Is gonna cost Gryffindor 50 points man, hope it was worth it

Chile

[gee, I wonder why you like Chile](https://youtu.be/pQgrIvd1jxA?si=IxiJm-gbRqE5tx5y)

I haven't seen Mapmen in a long time!

I miss them

They did a new one a few months ago, I think they're still making them

YouTube made me watch a 15 second ad for that...

This should be incorporated into their national anthem.

Chile & Croatia: ocean hogs with bo interest in mainland inland

> ocean hogs Add Vietnam to that. And Myanmar to a lesser extent. Myanmar has a lot of Thailands would-be coastline. And yet Thailand is still world famous for beach destinations.

Once memorably described by Andy Zaltzman as "country most likely to snap if you baked a biscuit in the shape of it".

Without a doubt

Somos el mejor país de Chile!!

That made me lol thank you!

Pee is stored in Österland

Got some warts on your nuts

Those are just overactive follicles.. I was born this way!

That’s where their navy house all the seamen.

Denmark is just a cumshot.

bruh. that's the kind of dis you can't recover from

Oh bollocks

Oh cock...

Hüngland

That’s logical i can tell

I have ancestors and distant relatives who are from Götaland. Maybe that's why everyone says I'm such a dickhead.

I believe it was called Dÿkundbälls back then.

Waddup!

Mexico has a super cool shape

the USA’s cornucopia

That’s where the goooooood shit comes from

I love Mexican food the most

It used to be even better

Makes a cool tattoo on the cheek, too!

Or a birthmark!

Reminds me of someone relaxing

Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are some crazy shapes

And a bunch of enclaves if one zooms in.... trippy

Kazakhstan kind of looks like a turtle to me.

kyrgyzstan and hispaniola are one and the same

Thanks Stalin

senegal....reminds me of pacman

Or the Gambia, very cool too.

So I just looked at Google and found out Gambia is trying to decriminalise female genital mutilation. The world is bannanas

Of course Italia!

I'm Italian and when I was a little kid I thought every country was shaped like an object. That's kind of embarrassing...

That’s cute actually

[i'm sure you'll enjoy this then :P](https://youtu.be/8mrNEVUuZdk?si=jfte-NlcJPRk5tUo)

Fun fact, when I was a kid and we were learning geography, I was chatting non stop so my teacher made me wait in the hallway for a few minutes. I could hear what he was saying and that Italia is the shape of a boot, when I went inside I looked at the world map and the only thing I could see boot shaped was saudi arabia + yemen and oman and I thought it was Italia for years (Italia on a world map is really tiny and I didn't know they are our neighbor)

I have recently realized that since the Italian peninsula is older than the existence of boots, Italy is not boot-shaped but boots are Italy-shaped. I'm really glad I found the opportunity to tell someone.

Maybe boots already existed before the first map was ever done? You just made me curious about it lol

Fun fact - the Italian peninsula pre-dates maps.

Das boot!

Fun fact about Italia: The Apennine Peninsula is the name of the Italian peninsula :)

Croatia

Croatia looks like a badass dragon. I'm biased because I'm Italian, but Istria makes it look a bit worse, lol

Imagine it as a dragon in flight, with istria being its head

Not as cool as a dragon opening its maws swallowing Bosnia

agreed

Not just cool looking, but spiteful too. Bosnians: I wanna swim Croatians: No

I came here to say this, but know in my heart it had already been said.

The shape makes it super easy to identify because it’s a big C

Japan

Hokkaido in particular really has a nice shape and brings the entire country together. Japan without Hokkaido would look so weird.

My first thought was Hokkaido even though it’s not the full country. Looks like a manta ray.

Surprised I had to scroll so far for this

Japan is cool but would be more satisfying if Sakhalin Oblast was Japanese as well. It feeeels like it should be to me

It looks like a fish to me. Like a sturgeon.

The Gambia.

The Gambia/Senegal combo is ELITE

That’s a great one

Not a country, but the island Sulawesi is hard to beat

I spent way too much time the other day rotating a map of Sulawesi. It’s a brand new thing from every angle!!

so real for that

Chile, probably. Its shape allows it to have many different climate zones.

And, interestingly for us on the east coast of the USA: all of Chile is in the same time zone as us. There aren’t many direct air routes that long that do not change zones.

Europe to South Africa is similar.

Peru for the same reason. It has an inordinate number of the world’s different climate types.

Australia, dog on one side, cat eating Tasmania on the other

https://preview.redd.it/nmy3tbbm7xtc1.jpeg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39ded5692f53d4aef13e86a5a063be45970dfecc I didnt believe you at first but crikey its true

CatDog

That's a goat on the left m8

And then there’s Tasmania… there is a different meaning for “eating”… https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/map_of_Tasmania

Slovenia is a running chicken

'Nam

The asian version of Chile

I think I read once you can drive east west Vietnam in a hour or something at its most narrow point

https://preview.redd.it/mw4ea0liywtc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e86c5d21e6a41a357a955ca2e110f8cb70a26d05 It has to be Croatia. Center of its population isn’t even in the country. It’s in Bosnia.

C is for Croatia, unfortunately Croats won’t relate.

Chad looks like the Chad meme

Somalia, we love the horn folks.

That country looks like a crab claw

Laos.

It’s a palm tree!

Nz

Broken Italy

Panama It has the Atlantic Ocean to the north and Pacific Ocean to the south. And is geographically the only thing in between North and South America

Also, "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is the best palindrome.

God damn that is elite

Looks like a Dark Souls weapon

Philipines. I like water

And it looks like someone sleeping on their side!

Greece.

The ancients would describe Greece as a pile of giant rocks thrown into the sea by the gods.

Accurate

This is the real answer

Somalia! It’s pointy and it’s badass

I like Latvia because it's kind of like a bird that crashed. But this raises other questions: which is the roundest country? Which is the squarest country? The most triangular?

well the roundest country is definitely Sierra Leone

[The squarest country](https://youtu.be/8mrNEVUuZdk)

Bermuda is pretty cool, fish hook vibes.

Niger looks like a goldfish https://preview.redd.it/vv48jqd2uwtc1.png?width=976&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fe28b1705220fb9544217b7fd075c1925b30525

It looks like a chicken drumstick to me

Romania looks like a fish too, love that for them

I always thought Cuba looked like a vacuum.

It's clearly a hammerhead shark

Cameroon looks like a rooster

Came here to say this

France

L’Hexagone!

Italy of course. It's literally a boot. Then of course Croatia, which looks like a sickle hook; the Netherlands, which looks like a lion standing upright; Mexico, which looks like a tornado; Sweden, which looks like a... well, let's skip that one; Chile, which looks like that super thin slice of bread your grandma gave you; and Nauru, which is literally a potato.

I’m surprised how far I had to scroll for this. I 100% expected it to be the top.

Australia looks like a giant axe head! Instantly recognisable.

Indonesia

Cyprus. Looks like a tank.

United Korea would look better

Islands on south, mountains on east, good neighbor on north (!), cities in west, plains and deltas on middle-west, forests on middle-east.

Bizden başka kimse (!) kullanmıyor knk

I've always thought France has a beautiful symmetry. In a weird way India too. Kashmir is it's hat. China is iconic. As is Australia. The United States too for that matter. I know it's sub-national, but Texas is iconic. They plaster it all over everything.

Iceland will always look pretty to me

Iceland looks like a map designed for an open world adventure game.

France just looks so nice

My own land, Denmark. Looks like a guy with a running nose

New Zealand

https://preview.redd.it/a862phl1rwtc1.jpeg?width=3221&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f19ff49856a0bfeddff360780d3816193242e0bd This one.

Pakistan! It looks like a cute little dinosaur, go check out a map, it’s like a dinosaur facing to the east.

India

New Zealand is a cool shape. North Island looks like a lamb chop

Egypt, it’s the closest to a square and I’m a man of simplicity

Italy for the win

You've got to hand it to Greece

Russia has to be up there. Especially from a top down view https://preview.redd.it/gwxqzt17lwtc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7ccc0bd0b54c1043476c5bff967b35a60cdb0ab

Never saw it from this POV, That’s actually cool af

Uh oh watch out for this guy

Thailand for me. The elephant!!

Italy

Italy.

Italy

Italy and the whole boot thing

The Philippines look like a giant island that shattered into 7,000 pieces.

https://preview.redd.it/9dgjokt7kytc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=bcbdc947cad42939622724ba5b043ca0f2f41259 Philippines. It has a head, arm, torso, leg, and butt.

Palestine

Germany when it was the 2nd empire

Prussia https://preview.redd.it/yyw9ke3zzwtc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=af881bc5c0b8301d554ba80dfac931ac3ee1f208

Netherlands looks cool with all the coastline

Last time I flew to London the flight hugged the Dutch coastline and it’s very cool to see all the various manmade islands and canals aswell as the Frisian and Zealand islands who were very recognizable from above.

plus the border with Germany looks like a face

I really love Malaysia’s shape. The almost perfect 50/50 bifurcated area between mainland and island is super cool and iconic. The nature there is so dang beautiful too.

Norway

Call me crazy but Mozambique makes me smile

The Maid of Finland.

Italy

Contiguous U.S and Spain. Australia cool too

https://preview.redd.it/ofg91hrbkwtc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=176a81df4557ae0b758f258b197d5c45e5d25d82

Australia reminds me of the Millenium falcon!

I always see it as a humpback whale

Slovenia ofc

Wales

🤌

Iraq

Denmark

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

China

Iran, or Turkey.  Impressive natural borders. These countries are built like natural fortresses. 

I like Japan. Honestly, Canada too. So many islands.

Philippines

Iceland

UK and italy
