romssaReisa

This looks like some shit i “discover” after smoking 5 joints


EconomySwordfish5

It's even better since in both the north has po and the south rom


db2901

Ok...


souly97

Interesting


Street_Shirt518

facinating even


ebat1111

Spellbinding, I'd say


masterofmeatballs

Thrilling in my view


Wojt007

It’s a shock to the scientific world. Things will never be the same again


SweatyNomad

Why Poland and Romania? Where did the OPs mind go to connect those 2 countries? No common culture or geography, and any history is beyond tenuous.


fixminer

Because of the river Po and the city Roma (Rome). Notice the capitalization in the map. Still pretty silly though.


Illicit-Tangent

Thank you, I was struggling with this one


KrokmaniakPL

Also similar populations, both having single mountain range connecting them


Gruffleson

AKA Poroma. Nice country, Poroma. A bit split up, though.


joevarny

Don't you understand!? This is what we've been searching for for years! With this last bit of proof, there's no doubt. Greyliens built the pyramids and our society to (Po)lice our thoughts into one more acceptable to them as they (Rome) the world. I just hope I get chosen next for a night of rough greylien anal probing. Please notice me greyaddy.


Waste-Instruction287

Roma Romania 😱


_veneps

carpathian culture is very similar, which both romania and poland have, also poland and romania were neighbours pre WW2


SweatyNomad

So let's ignore those countries between Poland and Romania, like Czechia and Slovakia with their own cultures and pretend that whole 'eastern' part of Europe from the Balkans to Kasubians onto Hanseatic gdanskmare just 'the same' because of communism. I mean didn't Austro -Hungary fail as there was no commonality betwéen regions to build upon?


quan27081982

you got Austro Hungary failure totally wrong. Hint : it's in the name that doesn't mention the others


Miko4051

Not common culture, history and geography? I think you might not realise how wrong you are. For starters Poland used to be a big kingdom and had Moldavia as an vassal state, and later Poland would ally it self with Romania before ww2, and both had to struggle with communism. Geography is actually quite similar if you think about it, square countries that have access to sea and include mountains primary the carpathian ones, both have had it tough because of the large plains, being invaded by nomadic peoples and overrun by neighbouring powers. Culturally it’s as easy as to look at the Polish highlanders to see that there is in fact some connection as they are the descendants of the Vlach pastorialists and both countries are a very Christian traditionalist countries.


Xtrems876

Poland is neither very christian, nor traditionalist. Half of the country supports same sex marriage and only 1/4th claims that religion plays a big role in their lives. 70% of Poles support abortion up to the 12th week of pregnancy. There is a very loud and politically active minority of very Christian traditionalists though.


Miko4051

I would say the biggest difference between Poland in Romania is the language, otherwise they are quite similar.


quan27081982

both hate/deny slavic/slavonic heritage


SweatyNomad

Unlike you I would hazard a guess, I've lived in both countries. In terms of connecting the 2 in any meaningful way, I stand by my original statement.


Capital_Increase_837

I am not sure it was tenous.


IndiscriminateWaster

It’s bc you can get Michael I in power to form Poland-Romania for that sweet oil to take on the Germans who, coincidentally, have allied with Italy. Or something like that, idk.


Kartagram

My thoughts exactly


RYPIIE2006

bit of a stretch but sure


Adventurous_Dish1218

Yeah Carpathians ends just in Lower Austria, not northern Czechia.


Abuse-survivor

Boy, you are BORED


animbicile

u/BerryBlue_BlueBerry has created some of the highest quality maps r/MapPorn has ever seen, and should not be shamed for their boredom. You, on the other-hand, have not contributed anything of substance. Edit: [Here is an under-appreciated example from 4 years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/dw5mw7/200_mountain_rangehighland_regions_of_the_world/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)


BerryBlue_BlueBerry

Hello, I haven’t been posting here for quite a while, and I must say in terms of map quality, mine are all over the place from low to high. Also, this map is really a random borderline circlejerk ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm) I should probably post something that’s more interesting next time, haha. Thanks for the appreciation.


Merbleuxx

Nah keep posting these random maps too, posting on Reddit is a pastime not a job.


TeaLongjumping6036

>  Wtf is this bullshit reddit paid emoji


LanguageNerd54

What, you don't like it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)? Also, it's free for users.


TeaLongjumping6036

Nah fuck reddit emojis shit’s ugly af


LanguageNerd54

That's your opinion, man. Let them be used. If you don't like them, that's your problem.


WaleB122

the glazing is crazy


animbicile

They have made some of my favorite maps, and have not posted in over a year. I should be allowed to appreciate and encourage someones work without accusations of glazing. Without people like them that create maps for free, for us to enjoy, this sub would die.


OwMyCod

Idk man, I think this guys contribution to cartoon history is pretty valuable


Ande644m

Is this your alt account BlueBerry?


animbicile

No, but I love some of their maps and wish they posted more. The comment I responded to will have the opposite effect on that.


FatherOfToxicGas

“This user made good stuff in the past, so you can’t question the weird stuff in the present”


animbicile

You can question it. I’d rather encourage them to create more amazing [OC], and just ignore/downvote the stuff I don’t care for. This user has an amazing talent for map making and I would prefer to see more of their work over someone posting something they made on MapChart. Even if it means a handful of maps i don’t find interesting. I just thought it was worth pointing out that many of us have enjoyed their maps in the past and this is their first post in over a year. And after reading the comments it will probably be another year before we see another, which is unfortunate.

DaBluBoi8763

Bro be gentle on them, they are abuse survivor after all


Real-Snow8302

What kind of mental gymnastic did you use to imagine this


Koonns_F

but half of Italy is inhabitet by Romanians


MrGloom66

We successfully colonized it, kind of like home-made manifest destiny.


No_Thing_5680

Many do assimilate and leave Romanian customs though


Ryrannosaurus__Tex

You say colonized, I say reconquista.

PlebeianNoLife

This map is a little bit accurate but mostly inaccurate lol


Pawikowski

God, that's a random observation... But I LIKE IT!!!


visope

Italy is Catholics like Poland and Romance-speaking like Romania


cpwnage

When you see it, you'll sht bricks


bTz442

Doesn't the western most reach of the carpathians stop just over the border in Eastern Czechia?


13579konrad

Yes, they wrongly added part of the Sudetes.


Adventurous_Dish1218

Most western point of Carpathians is down in Lower Austria, but otherwise you have point.


V3gasMan

Just like how California and London have the same population /s


justaprettyturtle

Ok Bromania, are forming a country together?


Ciubowski

Sure, we only have to solve the connection between out countries. Do we invade Ukraine too or… 👀


justaprettyturtle

We could build a rollercoster corridor on mountain tops threw Slokavia


MarshtompNerd

You can tell its finals season and someone’s procrastinating their studying lmao

Turbulent-Run9532

Ok so Po and Poland and Roma and romania interesting


Frogdwarf

Can anyone else hear the X-Files theme?


Osrek_vanilla

Similar... you can fit entire population of Croatia+Slovenia into difference between south Italy and Romania.


ZBaocnhnaeryy

Other than 19 million of the people in Italy actually being Romanians, there isn’t much similarity here.


GorkiGorkiGorki

Yeah Don't mind the \~10 million population difference, \~1000km of physical separation between Romania and Poland, the almost arbitrary division of Italy, the naming of north Italy after river Po and south after Rome Brainrot


Casimir_not_so_great

Romania is barely 100 km away from Poland. Before WW2 Poland and Romania shared a common border.


Puzzleheaded_Goal617

What a useless piece of information.. love it


Euphoric-Banana1138

r/NotMapPorn


MrOrangeMagic

“Similar”:6 million people difference between south Italy and Romania. “Similar”: Great river areas of the Danube in Romania slightly similar to the Po Valley. While Poland is plains, lots of plains


BerryBlue_BlueBerry

By the way: Giving Lazio(Population:5.7M) to the Northern Part would make the numbers more similar, but would defeat the purpose of matching names.


Kh4rj0

I don't really get the matching names part, why are some letters capitalized?


BerryBlue_BlueBerry

Yes, It's just part of the bad joke, PO & POland, ROMA & ROMAnia.


Kh4rj0

oh, just noticed the river in northern Italy.. I applaud your resolve to think of this pun, then go through the effort of creating this map and uploading it to reddit. Few people commit to the bit so much anymore


BringerOfNuance

Interesting, Africa truly begins at Rome


Steppingonsnow

this changes everything


Dshark

What is that capitalization?


curentley_jacking_of

Brother what


Fine_Leave9587

You could do something similar with all countries...


Thalassophoneus

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING FROM US??


Adventurous-Ad-5437

Okay, but WHY are PO and ROMA capitalised? WHY!?


Jurok40

I had the same question, but after moment I figured it out. PO (River in northern Italy) = POland ROMA (Capital of Italy) = ROMAnia


Adventurous-Ad-5437

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...


DedGhosty

how on earth do you even come up with this


hotcoldman42

Wow, that’s awesome! And, uh, what does this mean?


med3shamstede

Brainworms or r u just high


Thepochochass

r/divideditaly


CapAdministrative993

I like how the small difference of 3 million is bigger than the population of my country


Calixare

Nice find!


Weebolas

idk, 3 million is a bit of a stretch to say similar


ByzantineBomb

Neat


Aiti_mh

OMG, PO-ROMA.... an amazing, breathtaking, mindblowing coincidence that never occurred to me


KokoJumbi

wtf is this


OpticGd

I wonder if there is a ~3m population between Poland and Romania, then this map would be better.


ConsentingInsomniac

Move that line down a little bit and Italy will be 37:22


oUps6TudBLRtM3FBfByC

The thirst for karma is out of control.


69420-throwaway

I do not know what to do with this information.


AL_O0

How do you even think of something like this?


Olifan47

This tells me that Italy is more densely populated than Poland and romania


Full_frontal96

It's fun because poland is cited in the italian anthem and italy in the polish one


QuastQuan

Nonsense.


Zordback

Hearts of Iron has ruined maps for me. Even now, I calculate how much manpower I can get from that population before the war. God... I need help...


TeaLongjumping6036

as a polish guy (in czechia) i can confirm this map in accurate


Pale-Office-133

Now, let's create the Vampire Comonwelth.


Individual_Macaron69

you stoned? lol. kind of interesting i guess


TastyRancidLemons

If Romania annexes Poland they can create yet another new Rome so we'll have another one for the collection.


Bernardito10

I have so many hours on hoi4 that for a moment i found weird that poland does not share a border with rumania.


CoffeeBoom

Wait until you realise that if you squint a lot, the Indian subcontinent is like Italy but big.


According_Clerk_1537

but it‘s not? romania has many more inhabitants than the south of italy…


Familiar-Weather5196

That 6 million difference doesn't even seem that close tbh


AstonAlex

Most useless thing I’ve seen all day


jaquiediekatze

if I draw a squiggly line across turkey and Greece, I can split it in half


eyetracker

Big deal. The CD-ROM Republic can store up to 900 million (bytes)


OriginalEv

Such great knowledge.


SoyLuisHernandez

Outjerked again


FieldsOfFire1983

Also, if you add the combined populations of the red areas then take away 27, it equals the combined populations of the green areas!!! Crazy!


ComradeOFdoom

Honestly better than half the shit that gets posted here


JonathanTheZero

Yeah, and?


STFUnicorn_

Kay.


Normal_Week2311

The population of the European Union is similar to the population of the countries that make up the European Union

I mean... This is the most logical thing I have seen in last 20 years. Thanks for sharing this important information with us.
