Putin loves to reference Russia’s claim to that eastern slice. He mentioned it again during the interview with Tucker Carlson.

I was about to get real upset until I saw where this was posted

I hear this complaint all the time and you people just don't get it. The existing inter-georgian transportation network employs hundreds of thousands of people, and you want to just put them all out of work?

Non-georgians just don't understand that a 34 hour commute is very normal and just fine and we don't need your fancy "tunnel" to shorten it.

Look at the Cross-Carolinian Expressway (CCE) that was initiated last year. It won't be done until 2177 but it will shorten the trip from North Carolina to South Carolina to a mere 17 hours. Until then, they still go around the horn of Africa to make that trip, seeing 77% of the known world. Pretty soon none of those Carolinian kids will know the feel of the sea air on their skin.

And yeah, obviously the Inter-Georgian Tunnel would be a feat of engineering on the level of the Bama Skyway, connecting Alabama and Myanmar (look it up), or the Alexandria Rail Network which connects every city on earth named Alexandria. But any real engineer will tell you that engineering for the sake of engineering isn't engineering at all.

But you guys can post your propaganda all you want. We all know that the Anti Absurdist Infrastructure Association (AAIA) has been emboldened by their recent "success" against the Des Moines Highway (connecting Des Moines, Iowa with Des Moines, Iowa, the long way around) and shutting down the Moonshot Committee, who had well over 17 plans in the works for roads to the moon in progress with municipalities all over there country, until AAIA got wind of it.

Good luck.

Sorry Australia and New Zealand.

Hey at least new Zealand is on the map. That must be zenough

Remember that it is always half of Earth that gets sunlight. This illustrates how much of the Pacific is missing in this projection.

protist ,

There isn't any of the Pacific missing in this projection...you can see right where it starts at the Bering Strait and ends in the exact same place. If this map were centered on the Pacific it would probably seem larger, but there's none missing.

Bro what you still think the Pacific is a real thing and not a random area invented by the government to have the world map look more satisfying

ChicoSuave ,

Seriously. Have people never seen that part of the Pacific? Don't just fly over it. Get out and touch dirt.

Pssh, spoken like a true sheep. I bet you think birds are real too.

ech ,

It's warped, not missing. Just like the resized continents are all there in full, just incorrect (relative) sizes.

Are you implying that we should be counting atlanteans, cetaceans, the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh, and the mole people? I don't think they much care about being left out.

Free Burger King for everyone under the sun!

hitmyspot ,

We don't have burger king in Australia. Its called hungry jacks. There was another chain called burger king, now gone, and burger king bought an existing chain called hungry jacks. So it would work!

echodot ,

We know. That's like the main Australian fact, it's important to mention it at every opportunity. Along with, you know, the emu War.

And back in the 90s, Hungry Jack's had a set of mascots called the Kids' Club that had something to do with their kid meals. One of them was a kid in a wheelchair named Wheels.
