Do you just hate the SHAPE of certain countries (condo, build)

Thailand is in between.

China looks like friend chicken.
India looks like a penis with the obligatory balls on each side.
Pakistan reminds me of a dog
Somalia looks like a horn.
Chile tastes like bacon
Italy’s clutching to the rest of Europe like a bone

I like looking at maps, and sometimes the shape of certain countries really bother me. I am like: why does this country look like this? I want to cut it a bit so that it looks more "normal".

OK, here is a list.

In Europe, Croatia. I just hate, hate it. It takes such a long and narrow coast line and almost makes Slovenia and Bosnia landlocked. I mean that's just unfair. I just want to carve half of its southern coastline and give it to Bosnia.

And hey Switzerland, why are you sticking into France's a$$? I secretly hope France would just take Geneva and the lake Geneva region.

If you really look Norway's map, it looks like a creepy tadpole. Or some old Chinese instrument.



In Africa, Namibia is a PITA for obvious reasons. It stretches so far into Boswana. And I hope Gambia doesn't exist (check and you will know what I mean).

The map of the Philippines is really strange, like an Alien or some insect. Not pretty.



ALso in Asia, the shape of Vietnam and Laos looks retarded. They should separate from each other North-South wise, instead of being two slim slivers. It will be hard to manage countries like this.

Speaking of which, Chile is the worst. It grasped land from Bolivia and made itself look more long and narrow. How do people travel?

Countries I do like the shape of: Spain, France (interestingly Cote d'Ivoire looks exactly like a smaller France), Iran, India, The UK/Ireland together, Australia.

The thing is with you, and I've got you sussed now , you like to give it out on this site , when it's all just for fun , but you have trouble taking it .

Oh my god thank you. This is exactly my thought. Botticelli is hands down the most humorless people I have ever encountered on internet, and amongst the most self-righteous.

Malaysia's outline is pretty ugly, a peninsula and a chunk of an island that is like 500km away


Spain's outline looks kinda weird with Portugal taken out. Looks like someone took a bite out of it

Good thread idea. Rather original.

Country shapes that I don't like:

Lesotho (looks like South Africa's mole)
Brunei (as above, but in this case it's Malaysia's)
Luxembourg (as above, but in this case, it's Europe's)
Sweden (looks like a flaccid penis)
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan (awkward shapes)
Papua New Guinea (looks like a country that was cut in half)
Indonesia and Malaysia (separate islands being counted as one nation looks awkward to me)
Italy (a boot of an anorexic person)

Did I forget Texas. Gotta go milk that cow.

Chile. It's long and has a knob on top. Makes me very uncomfortable.

Texas is not a country.
