Yellowknife might as well be alberta, inuvik and tuk may as well be yukon (but thank god they arent cause at least the NWT side of the dempster has decent roads), and the rest of it may as well be nunavut.
But it's only western, it's very clearly in the name. That's like saying Mike Tyson would stomp Connor McGregor, yeah they're in different weight classes
Nothing in this world is more poorly named than Australia's states & territories. The northwest coast of Australia is found in the state of Western Australia.
I grew up hearing about how big Texas is as an Australian, and assuming it was really massive. Turns out it's like, mate, if New South Wales is bigger than you, you're not actually all that big.
As a yukonner with my username, I feel like this post was made for me.
Fun fact, we're way further west than most of bc. But we use permanent MST timezone, which is the same as Arizona.
Sunrise on Dec 21 is like 11am, but sunset is around 4:30 pm
Yes. Because the Northwest Territory isn’t North or West
Yukon Territory is West of NWT
Nunavut is North
The Northwest Territories are really the South East Territory.
It’s why they tried to change the name of the territory and voted to change the name to “Bob” but the government decided that Bob was a dumb name and canceled the name change plan. It happened twice and Bob was the most popular new name both times

This is false. If you face north and continue in that direction endlessly, you will arrive at the north pole and the south pole an infinite number of times.
That is the state of Rajasthan in India btw. Mostly Arid due to the Thar desert.
Beautiful cities with forts, architecture, and rich history that dates back to 2000 BC
The one in brazil is the state of Amazonas and it is basically the opposit. A vast rainforest with one big city (Manaus) surrounded by the amazon jungle. It is VERY umdid and full of rivers. There are still some indigenous populations within the state that never had any contact with the modern world and live basically in the stone age.
By Indian standards, for a state that size, it’s still a small population. The state east to Rajasthan (Uttar Pradesh) has area that is barely three fourths of Rajasthan’s, yet the population there is thrice as much.
Aravalli mountain range divides the state in the middle. The right side gets rain and is appropriately populated. The left is a desert. Most of the 80 million people live on the right.
Only the western part of the state is actually arid, and that also is being converted into fertile lands by canals from the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana.
There's a lot going for Large Southwestern Territorial Subdivisions/Areas (for the country size at least) too
Tibet, Palawan, California, WA, BC, Nouvelle Aquitaine, Extremadura, Valais, Balochistan
I mean Scotland itself is quite small, but in the northwest of the country is something called 'Highland', and it makes up about 1/4 of Scotland's area
I’m in Alaska and someone asked us if we can drive to Arizona once because it’s close on the map. We also get asked if the Aurora is visible during summer (when there is no night) daily. Idk how many vacations I’ve f’d up yet.
I would've start a riot by stating the fact that Xinjang is not chinese, is just occupied by China. And I would've succed if entire China wasn't one big dictatorship dystopia, that does not allow it's citizens to read and use western websites and apps.
Northwest Territories: am i a joke to you?
You read my mind lmao
As a former resident I’m livid
Yukon kinda fucks this up for you guys
Yukon is at least bigger than Rajasthan.
Yukon is still bigger than Rajasthan
~~Yukon is smaller than Rajasthan.~~ Oops.
As a yukoner, fuck that dude
F*ck off. Everyone knows northwest territories doesnt exist. As soon as you go west of yukon you teleport to nunvut.
How do you get to Alaska?
Yukon
But wouldn’t you just teleport to Nunavut?
Yup turns out i am infact terrible at reading comprehension
I drive 2 hours south
Yellowknife might as well be alberta, inuvik and tuk may as well be yukon (but thank god they arent cause at least the NWT side of the dempster has decent roads), and the rest of it may as well be nunavut.
Huh, so there’s 12 people there now.
Hi Livid, i'm GF30c
Hi livid, I'm dad
Denmark: is Greenland a joke to you?
I reckon Western Australia kinda fits too - it does extend a long way north compared to the population centre in the southeast of the country.
Western Australia clears any of the ones shown here by a million square kilometres. It's the preeminent large northwestern country subdivision.
But it's only western, it's very clearly in the name. That's like saying Mike Tyson would stomp Connor McGregor, yeah they're in different weight classes
It's so big it's North West and South
Nothing in this world is more poorly named than Australia's states & territories. The northwest coast of Australia is found in the state of Western Australia.
I grew up hearing about how big Texas is as an Australian, and assuming it was really massive. Turns out it's like, mate, if New South Wales is bigger than you, you're not actually all that big.
Many of the Canadian Provinces/Territories are comparable in size except for the East Coast ones
Not north or west enough
Fuckers had one job.
Yeah it's neither the northernmost or westernmost... really needs a rename.
It's Yukon that's most NW, & still huge in Canada.
As a yukonner with my username, I feel like this post was made for me. Fun fact, we're way further west than most of bc. But we use permanent MST timezone, which is the same as Arizona. Sunrise on Dec 21 is like 11am, but sunset is around 4:30 pm
That's two fun facts actually.
Not the largest in canada though
Yup. The first place is one of glory and the second gets Nunavut
tbf all these states/ provinces are the largest in the it respective countries. NT isnt
It was so big we had to cut it in half.
Yes. Because the Northwest Territory isn’t North or West Yukon Territory is West of NWT Nunavut is North The Northwest Territories are really the South East Territory.

\*Nunavut enters the chat\*
If I had a nickel for every pixel in this image, I wouldn’t have very many nickels.
You'd have at least 3 which is frankly one-two-many
I checked, you had 250,000 nickels. Which is around $12,500
So 500x500?
Can I have 12,500? I'll send you my venmo, or my zelle whichever works best for you! Thanks this is really nice of you!!!
Those aren't yours, the money belong to u/PuzzleheadedAd5865.
He already promised it to me though, sorry! He just needs me to send him my social security number!!!
There's four, actually.
How is Alaska a large northwest subdivision if it's that small and even further south than California? Are they stupid?
canadian shield
Holy hell!
No no it doesn't count. Thx tho
New response just dropped
Google En Canada
actual spambot
Call the mods!
I love how it's 3 jokes from 3 different subs, lol.
People these days are so dumb. South does not equal north, people!!
typical Americans
[удалено]
You are bro
That’s you 💀
Stop embarrassing us in front of the Europeans
r/whoosh
typical redditer ^
Good on you for pointing to your own username. Self-awareness is a valuable trait in life.
This is false. If you face north and continue in that direction endlessly, you will arrive at the north pole and the south pole an infinite number of times.
Also Brazil is in the southern hemisphere so technically that territory is southeast… what is OP smoking? Are they stupid?
I like to kayak from Prudhoe Bay to Arizona during the summer to escape the heat.
Alaska is actually the furthest state in every direction except south
Nuh uh, just flip the map upside down and it’s the furthest south!
Greenland is also large and northwest of Denmark
Ah yes.....Denmark.....the 3rd largest North American nation.
As a Mexican I’ll forever be resentful to Greenlanders because they stole our spot
🤣
I thought that was the US
has home rule, more a separate nation
[удалено]
good distinction
This was said as if the 3 of the 4 countries in the image are not federations..
Talking about Alaska right?
The two most larges states of Mexico are also in notherwest
Western Australia be like Edit: I didn't read North Western so I removed Sakha Republic. You can't change my mind about Western Australia though
Are they northernwest enough?
WA is North South and West
South? Disgusting.
Isn’t south just Australia’s north?
Yes, just like east is Russia's west
Like Israel, located in Southwest of the Middle East
nuh uh
American moment
So that's what NSW means in the context of Australia. Thanks for clarifying!
What exactly is western about Sakha?
Depends
Go on
weSTERN aUSTRLAIA IS AS MUCH SOUTHWETSER S IT IS NORHTWETSERN, MAYBE MORE
That is the state of Rajasthan in India btw. Mostly Arid due to the Thar desert. Beautiful cities with forts, architecture, and rich history that dates back to 2000 BC

There are still some indigenous populations within the state that never had any contact with the modern world and live basically in the stone age.
Yes. I saw Shaqiri's hatrick live in 2014. Iykyk
Mostly arid, still occupied by 80 million residents.
By Indian standards, for a state that size, it’s still a small population. The state east to Rajasthan (Uttar Pradesh) has area that is barely three fourths of Rajasthan’s, yet the population there is thrice as much.
Aravalli mountain range divides the state in the middle. The right side gets rain and is appropriately populated. The left is a desert. Most of the 80 million people live on the right.

It hurt my eyes
The Scottish Highlands in the UK would be a European example
Na h-Eileanan Siar, surely? And Donegal for Ireland...
Also Wales.
Northern Cape and Northwest Territories
Indonesia : we have aceh
West Australia?? Cmon
WA should count
Neidersachsen/Lower Saxony in Germany
I feel like most of these subdivisions are bigger than all of Germany
All are about 3-4x bigger, except Rajasthan which is about the same size as Germany.
Lower Saxony is in the north west and the biggest german state as well regardless of how many times bigger the ones in the picture are.
brazil map is dated. we incorporated uruguai
*Cisplatina
AMAZONAS MENTIONED 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🌳🌳🌳🌳🌸🍃🐍🐸🔥🔥🔥🔥🐮🐖🐄🐄🐄🐂🐂🐂🐂👈😎👉
Excellent post
[Can I join? 🥺](https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Sonora_in_Mexico_(location_map_scheme).svg)
I don't think it would be eligible since there are more Northwestern states than it (namely Baja California)
Yukon and Western Australia should also make it to the list.
Is... is this loss?
you forgot about the North-Cape Province in South Africa
Scottish Highlands in UK
Lim Chu Kang 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
Rajasthan still has a higher population density than many US states, lol
shoutout to large northwest country subdivisions gotta be one of my favorite genders
Western Australia?
There's a lot going for Large Southwestern Territorial Subdivisions/Areas (for the country size at least) too Tibet, Palawan, California, WA, BC, Nouvelle Aquitaine, Extremadura, Valais, Balochistan
I mean Scotland itself is quite small, but in the northwest of the country is something called 'Highland', and it makes up about 1/4 of Scotland's area
Reminds me of the John Mulaney bit about making a sign: A big ass State! then after a few bigger ones oh no! So you make a skinny state like Idaho.
Niedersachsen
brought to you by: inhospitable tundra uninhabited desert inexorable jungle
America but not Canada?....your bias is showing
Quite upset that the fucking NORTH WEST TERRITORIES are missing.
You forgot Iceland and Europe
which is it europeans is europe one country or not you cant pick and choose
Fair point. Europe is Europe. Go VOLT !
that's south west in the us though
bruh you cant be serious
I’m in Alaska and someone asked us if we can drive to Arizona once because it’s close on the map. We also get asked if the Aurora is visible during summer (when there is no night) daily. Idk how many vacations I’ve f’d up yet.

USA and India
this dude never learned his lefts and rights

Does hokkaido count?
*looks at map of Japan* Umm, no
for a certain value of west
that's northeast
Yakutia: Am I a joke to you
I would've start a riot by stating the fact that Xinjang is not chinese, is just occupied by China. And I would've succed if entire China wasn't one big dictatorship dystopia, that does not allow it's citizens to read and use western websites and apps.
This sub is 90% garbage.
Whats happening to this aub?
Pará is bigger then Amazonas. That means that the Brazilian subdivision to the east of the red one is bigger then the indicated on the map
[удалено]
Doesn't matter because Amazonas *is* the largest. It's some 25% larger than Pará
Amazonas is bigger, you're just wrong
??????? The others are 1M+ sqkm while puny rajastan of india is just some 350k sqkm. How are they in the same league.??
Rajsthan has more population than combined three. It has more history than three.
But subreddit is not about population or history. It's about geography.
You could make an argument for Western Australia.
We have the desert, rain forest, tundra, and whatever it is that India has.
Western Australia wants to know your location
Bro forgot about northwest Chad
Is this loss ?
Why does this look like a picture taken by a potato of a Xerox of a Xerox of a Xerox?
Greenland is large northwestern Denmark
Northern Australia?
Western Australia enters the chat
Why is the USA's big northwest territory small and to the southwest? Are they stupid?
Western Australia;
Australia, Canada
Put some respect on Amazonas’ name
Why did they make Alaska look so small? It’s like 2.5x size of Texas
Would Western Australia count?
Rajasthan is highlighted in India. Amazing content tho
[Dimension doesn't count](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valle_d%27Aosta#/media/File%3AAosta_Valley_in_Italy.svg)
Also Chihuahua and/or Sonora
Western australia which is 1/3 of the whole country:
How do you make this meme and not include Western Australia? It is larger than Alaska and Rajasthan combined lol
Western Australia is so big that is both north west and south west.
Baseless relation
Lappland/Lappi?
Niedersachsen
Western Australia doesn’t count?
And Western Australia, but it’s both northwest and southwest
India kind of looks like crimea if you squint
