This would make it so I was living in Saskatchewan, which is intolerable since mocking people from Saskatchewan is very important to me.
The best joke I heard, I was talking about Saskatchewan and a guy said, "Saskatchewan?" and literally threw a pack of cigarettes on the ground and continued, "Stand on that and you can watch your dog run away for 3 days." Way better version than sitting on your front porch.
Easy to draw, hard to spell.
Better than greater Alberta. That’s just Alberta as a US state.
More Scott Moe? No thanks.
We want to spread his influence over a larger area to thin it out.
I’m here for Samsquatchewan
Oh please... Sure you get Vegas but you're stuck with Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and both Dakotas! Plus a shitload of Mormons and desert. Take 'em and welcome. But I suggest you label them all "immigrants" and don't allow them to vote.
Come on, at least give it some coastline.
It wouldn't be Saskatchewan then.
There's a bit of it way at the top
Goddamit. Now it's Manitoba. 😡
I mean that's still probably not the population of California.
Truth.
So, if its borders are straight lines in this projection, are they actually concave curves?
Edit: convex for the northern border.
They follow lines of latitude and longitude so straight lines on a curved surface. It's slightly untrue on the Eastern border that looks like a jagged edge due to the dominion land survey. But it was meant to be straight.
I suspected/assumed they were 'true' to the lines of latitude and longitude.
The amusing projection in green makes it obvious that the map projection is taking some liberties ;-)
If you mean my shitpost worthy work in PowerPoint, you bet. Dammit I'm a doctor not a cartographer deadbeef!
I am enjoying it immensely.
Quality shit posting sir!
No they clearly don't. It spans about two longitude lines at the bottom and three at the top
I know the southern border is the 49th parallel and the northern border is the 60th. I'd have to look up the meridians.
Eta: the Western border is the 110th meridian. The Eastern one is fucked up because of the Dominion Land Survey.
Eta2: the Eastern border is ~102nd meridian.
Sure why not. It'll get rid of Idaho at least
You’re gonna end up with a lot of Trump voters.
Way to call out Alberta.
you don't want eastern oregon, nothin' out there but sand worms and whale chunks
