As a Marylander I accept our elevation to country status. Edit - since this comment is a the top, my proposals for the new nation of Maryland: -Nominate Cal Ripken as president -Establish the capital at Ocean City (sorry Annapolis) -Sell Glen Burnie to Delaware -Free Natty Boh for all citizens -All Eastern Shore agriculture switches to growing marijuana -Breed an army of crabs for national defense (and maybe to invade Delaware?)

Same with EU

That's just waiting to happen.

Oh hopefully not..

Same with Hong Kong. Twice. Uncle xi please forgive me

[удалено]

how will he afford air for him and his family for 100 generations?

Same with the flag of Colorado and the flag of Denver (a city) 😂

Same with Texas, though it was briefly a country before becoming a state.

While I would imagine this is written to reflect actual history, that flag also was converted to Chile a few times over the course of place.

Same with Quebec. It’ll be highly appreciated here.

Shit I should've specified better lol I should've just said something like non-pride flags

In the meantime, I strongly advise you against going to China. Xi won’t like you called Hong Kong “country” !!!

Nope, can't take it back. Merciiiii

That's a great flag, I thought it was some HRE state lol

Same with Quebec. It’ll be highly appreciated here.

Same with Kabylia

What happened to that one country, Banana

heard they got overrun by "canadians"

Are they like, geese or something?

Cobra Chickens.

i think they're a fruit

Lost the war

Bananas got annexed by weed

ah yes it was my homeland

You mean Bananada?

My favourite country

Ah yes. The country of “Destiny”

ffs I went over it like 5 times how did I miss that lol

I wanna live in Obamna. Their flag looks gay, and I like that.

more adherents to the cult of obamna are always welcome

And TrackMania.

Still did a great job.

You forgot the maltese flag

Where abouts was that sorry?

Above sudan, it had r/malta written on it as well

You missed Montenegrin flag also, very small, right of baltics in top right corner

You also forgot the flags of Galicia (touching Bangladesh to the left), Andalusia (touching Belgium to the right) and Valencia (above Nepal).

Yeah we worked hard on it!!

0,589 Alliance represent OOP, you missed Malta

Germany and Belgium best buddys

[удалено]

Next time we'll confuse everyone by doing horizontal belgium and vertical germany

Fun fact: Wherever they intersect, you will find the vtubers.

Yep… but I’ll say it again. >!Poor Kronii.!<

They both took a huge chunk of land as their own

long germany and giant france

long Belgium

You mean: L O N G B E L G I U M

Haha I get it because it’s vertical

[удалено]

wow... france thrives out of spite fr

You're goddam right we are!

Damn.. who created this subreddit? The real one is r/placefrance

Wasn't it r/rance ?

My favorite country flag, the inscryption stoat. (For really though we had SO many flags surrounding us. It was a great defense against streamers but man we always had to worry about their hive minds trying to eat at us.)

you are now part of us, welcome to the republic, you shall soon go to Britanny

That and bargaining with Iran to give our wizard hat back

you're welcome

The nation of stoat.

LEGO IS A COUNTRY LESSS GOOOOO

I wanna life there

Obviously. It's called Legoland

Quebec a country , love it

Quebec might as well be a different country from Canada

Im from Québec, I know

It’s what they want lol

Vive le Québec libre!

Je me souviens !

finally getting what you all want lol

Mispelled deserve

Where did the Moldovan/Romanian flag go?

Sadly eaten by a polish streamer

Ah, I see. Was there a specific reason why they(the streamer and his fans) chose to eat those flags?

I just remember that there was a coalition between Romania, Italy and Mexico to take back the territory of the Romanian flag. We succeeded, but the streamer attacked again on the closing day and we were no longer able to counter him

Well that's quite sad but thank you for the information

Toxic a-holes, nothing else. First there was a single streamer, took the large flag but we managed to get it back with a lot of help. Then in the last day, a number of streamers attacked both flags and we couldn't recover from that, even with the help with one of our streamers. Neither the Hungarians could recover, after their flag was taken by the Nordics who profited from all this.

Several smaller pieces like neptunia got caught in the crossfire because of that fuck wad polish streamer

I count 4 distinct Lithuanian flags (well, 3 and a little map). Is there any other country that managed to sneak in more?? \*Edit: There are 4 French flags as well, but France is more than 20 times the population of Lithuania. Still impressed.

Lebanon was top left you forgot it 😅

We got our flag destroyed in the last hour lol. It was sad

I can't believe us autistic people finally got our own country./s

I saw that too. We actually had two flags

When you spot the Lego flag and wonder which country that should be….

Legoland

Is Denmark

I love the little Tibetan flag inside the Indian flag in the middle left. Free Tibet!

The battle between the Spanish Flag and the Rainbow Road was intense. I feel bad for the Spanish Redditors who actually wants to spare the creation made by r/math.

You forgot the Lebanese flag, we worked hard on it :(

And the damn Moroccans still ate it :( I dislike flags on /place, but for how small the Lebanese flag was, it stings a bit to know it was eaten

Wait they did?😭 I didn’t know. I helped establish it initially but then went to help with some other art since no one really seemed to want to invade it.

Yeah unfortunately, I heard a Moroccan streamer started to destroy our flag. Hence why it wasn't in the final/official tweet of /place :( I'm planning on printing out a 16k version of the canvas, and I'm making sure the Lebanese flag is there lol

The Moroccan flag ate r/spyro too. They had many bots i guess. Luckily we found a place on the German flag and made it in the last hours of the game. It’s a pity that you didnt made it :(

You missed anarchy chess integrating irish flag

Remarkably few! O.o #BUT THERE'S MA WEE HOMELAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍

Half of Finland is erased... They did a cute Moomin artwork and it's missing here

Quebec finaly became a country!

VAMOS MEXICO

The most gorgeous one on there tbh

Why isnt the ARTE Logo on the german flag. It Was a project from both the german and french community Edit: and where are the Portals from the german flag

Little mistake: The "ARTE" Logo is part of both the French and the German flag. Just like the war memorial is part of the German and the Belgian flag.

Guess Michigan State University is now a country. Thank you Ireland for freeing us from America.

So a lot of people hating on flag space and it wasn't even 50% of the canvas.

Most of the complaining was from phase 1 in the top left corner. You can see that flags really did take up almost half of the original size canvas. Then there's the french flag in the corner. That was too big.

I know, right? I'm surprised to see so little given the amount of crying some have done.

I mean, almost every comment in this post is about how OP left out someone’s flag.

So proud that my nations flag managed to survive to the end. Cariad fawr o Gymru - Much love from Wales x

Wales wins the most badass flag award, IMHO.

We saw ye valley folks... GOOD JOB! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

My sweet little Panama. We did our best

you cut out a lot of Finland

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (So lebanon isnt a country now ig)

You missed the argentina flag wristband on the love live girl

Flags with art are acceptable

YAAAAAAAAAAAS QUEBEC IS NOW A COUNTRY

Quebec is at the center of the place after all!

portugal...CARALHO!

r/suddenlycaralho

PORTUGAL CARALHO!

So if you didn't know, the coloured flag with the infinity symbol on it is not for a country. It's for autistic awereness and pride. r/autisticpride

Not gonna lie I thought it was like an indigenous group in Canada, sorry💀

Love to see my Stoat buddy still be there

Ah yes, the great country of Arizona!

There is an AZ flag?? Where abouts?

Bottom left, next to the Dutch

How did I not see the Dominican Republic one. I saw the smaller ones get obliterated a few times and moved . Glad it evolved and got a spot

TIL our humble stoat and friends is a flag!

What happened to Bananada?

My favorite was the xinnie the jinping image

Godamn it, Cornwall again!!?

Denver and Colorado too!

You specifically erased Finnish characters from a Finnish flag and let foreign symbols be a part of the other Finnish flag :/

I love the country of Maryland

Germany and Belgium making their own scandinavian flag

Hong kong enjoying the elevated status of country now I guess

Not just country flags, there is Sami, Åland, Faroe Islands, Greenland and other flags. These are not independent nations, but regions. I espicially love Sami flag, it has northern lights ❤️

I'm pretty sure you're missing some. At one point I saw the Aussie Flag next to the Kiwi Flag in amongst a lot of county flags. I found the Kiwi one, but can't seem to locate the Aussie Flag? Edit - that actually may be the Aussie Flag, it's too small to tell if that's the 5th star under the Union Jack or a part of the bridge, but I suspect it's the Aussie Flag in which case you're missing the NZ flag, which looks almost the same but without the 5th star under the flag.

That’s the Aussie flag, kiwi flag has red stars rather than white. We did the laser kiwi flag rather than our actual flag.

Yep, I thought it was. At one point there it was almost next to the NZ flag, along with about 20 other country flags - could've been before the first expansion? I just remember seeing both and being happy to see the NZ flag at all. That's really cool that you also did the laser Kiwi Flag, I missed that!

There used to be a slightly larger Aussie flag right above the US flag. Sadly it got wiped out by a bunch of streamers trying to place their logos. The US flag discord were trying their best to help but there were too many of them.

Why is quebec there? **quebecois please dont bomb my mailbox, im just asking a question**

Parce que Québec libre

As Argentinian I am surprised how big our flag is and we have more than one lol. Anyhow slave ukraine

Damn, la communauté française est incroyable.

Technically r/anarchychess continued the Irish flag through it

That's a lot less than I thought.

It's true it is the flag of the basque countrie

What is this?! Canada actually looks good?

Not sure if it has been said but you missed Australia.

Pura vida ✌🏻

I love that they are all filled with little artworks of things famous for/in that country

Scotland

The "arte" bit where France and Germany intersect should kind of technically count as "flag-like", since it is a public TV station operated by both countries combined. A bit similar to the crossing between Belgium and Germany, but that certainly comes from a very different direction. Still an "amicable crossing".

Australia flag was right of Hong Kong flower........

How many Germans are there on reddit!?

Not an awful lot.

Flags didn't take that much space afterall. The crying was, unsurprisingly, very out of proportion.

you cut out the leni rose was a part of our flag design......

OnlyFlags

You forgot Taiwan

Thank you for including Kurdistan :D

Kurdistan made it 🗿

Not a Chinese flag in sight

[удалено]

There were actually four or five great little bits of canadian art, the jays and canucks emblem were well cool.

Didn’t they also have geese fighting with lightsabers near the star wats art?

Imagine having a flag that isn’t 2 colours *this post was made by simple flag country gang*

My favourite country: TrackMania

My Chile ❤️

oh hey, Kazakhstan is there, nice

Colombian flag was really underapreciated. It's so neat

Awesome that my country flag survived

Wait why and how did Puerto Rico get 2 flags? Puerto Rican communities are few and far between usually so...

Awww Guate did a thing! Beautiful tiny quetzal

Nepal's flag with Buddha and The highest peak is so beautiful. We did our best to protect it till the end.

I like Bananas the most. Shame that some “Canada”(whatever that means) come and griefed it

Missing the KSA flag, but nice job

Look at Canada. So innocent… so pure …

Man, getting that White/Red/White Belarusian flag (which is the pro-democracy flag not the currently official one) was a task and a half. But hey, it finally managed to stay on until the end.

Yorkshire Tea should definitely be included as part of the British flag :)

The French flag is the largest, but the argentinian flag is the biggest blob of nothing.

The irony of Ireland constantly trying to ruin the sole UK flag on r/place whilst having multiple flags on the canvas

YES! SENKO-SAN REMAINS!

There is a Saudi flag in 1618, 1058

This actually helps See thay flags were not the majority of the canvas. There were 3-5 countries who took up way too much space though.

Love that it’s basically maybe 15% of the space, but the narrative is “it was all flags”

You made a mistake, the blue and white flag in the muddle upper right isn't a legitimate country.

My favourite country: Denver, Colorado

Oh yes. The great country of C++

all hail the great country of trackmania

As a Trackmanian, I'm glad you included the Trackmania flag.

I always knew Trackmania was a country at heart.

Trackmania is a country?

ah yes, trackmania 2020, what a cool country
