Hasn't Keven done something like this before, sans the actual map?He did one based on population, I believe. Also popular was his "what if Chiefsplanet memebers were _____?" where ____ could be US cities/countries in relation to the member's post count.

Maybe that was it. I don't care either way, I like maps so this thread would top Kevin's if he had done it.

I hate you. (Stomp.) I hate you! I would move out of here tomorrow if I could!

Actually, mine was redesigning the 50 states so that they all had equal populations. It was a way cool map.

Where is it? I'd like to see that map.

[Rain Man]

I'm really proud of it. It took me quite a while to put together. I might see if I can write an article about it with the election coming up.

I could see washington being a lot like turkey. Hell, a bunch of turkeys run this state.

[Basileus777]

I live in Russia? :hmmm:

[StcChief]

I guess I'm now Pollock, born in Isreal. migrated to Mexico for my formative years

[JuicesFlowing]

Hooray Malaysia! Weirdest map I have ever seen ...

With the poles next door.

Ireland gets the nuclear test sites plus Reno and Vegas? That's horrible; Ireland deserves better...I'm kicking Poland out of Missouri so I can give it to Ireland. Missouri's not really a Poland-place anyway...perhaps Kansas, Wyoming, Nebraska, or Ohio.

Props to Korea for getting a peninsula again.

[kepp]

Hey Kansans...didn't Derek Zolander try to assassinate your prime minister?

[Saulbadguy]

*snicker* "here"

I must have had geographical locations on my mind. Also the spelling of "Missourian", if that is a real word, strained my brain.

[Chiefless]

I live in the land of the Turkey Seahawks.

[Herzig]

Go Pakistan!! PBJ

Where in Pakistan do you live?

[Rooster]

California is the new France. That is really ironic. So now are all those old Pollock jokes to be changed to Missouri jokes? :D

[Lzen]

Ha ha ha ha!!! How ironic that California is France. ROFL
