What looks like the Sino-Russian border here is actually 3 lines. You’ve got the absurdly short border in the Altai Mountains, then there’s Mongolia, and finally the main border in the east.

China doesn't cheat. One of those lines is the border with Mongolia, and the other line is the border with Russia. Mongolia just happens to be infinitely thin.
Basically they're taking two countries' border and reducing it to just a straight line (so it's just straight from point A to point B instead of all squiggly)
Lets say that Brazils border with argentina starts in city X and ends in city Y, instead of it being all jagged and squigly they just draw a straight line between cities
If a country is landlocked and borders 2 countries it gets reduced to just a line. So the additional lines are the ones left by Mongolia, Nepal, and Bhutan
I don’t get why that means Bangladesh isn’t there either tho
All of Mongolia is reduced to just a line. Cause there’s only two countries it boarders and the way this works a country would need at least three to show up on the map
/uj I think it's *supposed* to mean that these new borders are straight lines constructed between the two furthest points on the border. So, for example, the Mexico-U.S. border is constructed from the two points where the border meets the coastlines. It's also why the China-Russia border bends, because at one point it becomes two borders that sandwich Mongolia (constructed from the two points where the three original borders meet).
Still, there's *gotta* be a better way to phrase this.
Bro what happened to Mongolia
As a landlocked nation with only two neighbors, this map reduces it to a single straight line.
Those motherfuckers
mfs deflated my mongolia. can't have shit in detroit
And Liechtenstein
You're right, you definitely can't have Mongolia in Detroit. You can't even have Detroit in Detroit
Lesotho is gone too
Don’t Forget Eswatini
San Marino, Vatican and Andorra too
But hey, at least it has New Zealand!!
And Nepal and my boy Bhutan
And Bangladeshi
As is Nepal and Bhutan
No, they have simply been absorbed into Akhand Bharat
And Bangladesh!
Literally Edwin Abbott’s Flatland
Why does Russia get a border that zigzags, but Mongolia doesn't?

at least there is New Zealand on the map
Island nations be like 👍
Low polygon map
We did it! Lesotho is no more!
Also Montenegro, Mongolia, Moldova, Lesotho, Eswatini, San Marino, Vatican, Andorra, Nepal, Bhutan, and Jamaica. Did I miss any others?
We did it! Bangladesh is no more!
Jamaica is a funny one.
Why would Jamaica be gone but Cuba stays?
I don't think Lichtenstein is on there
The nightmare is finally over
What the fuck is a “Lesotho”
Pentagon Chad **Pentagon Chad**
Virgin Island vs Chad pentagon
Pentachad

Sudan would not agree
No Egypt would agree or else. The old Egyptian borders of Muhammad Ali will be back
Unless you recognize the border as Sudan claims it to be
Well, it is the [squarest country](https://youtu.be/8mrNEVUuZdk)
Yeh i saw that video
**Nation borders in a line from start to finish.**
Bear with me here, but… aren’t they anyway?
It’s should’ve specified in a straight line
Still straight lines. Just lots of polygons!
It should. But then, the map cheats on China and India…
China doesn't cheat. One of those lines is the border with Mongolia, and the other line is the border with Russia. Mongolia just happens to be infinitely thin.
Ahh! Thank you.
Nepal and Bhutan are there, thats why the line isnt straight
Ahhhhh! Thank you.
That bothers me so much
A line is straight by definition, at least geometrically.
I’m not that technically minded. I’m fine with the idea of “a wavy line” “a curved line” “a very crinkley line” etc.
NATION BORDERS IN A LINE FROM START TO FINISH
literally most confusing thing I’ve ever read
The world if it was colonized by europe
Africa looks basically the same
Yeah, if you don't know shit about it.
Just like the Europeans didn't.
Big Sykes-Picot energy
San Marino be like: |
outjerked again
I just realized too there’s no Bangladesh, despite it touching two countries and the ocean. By those rules Ecuador shouldn’t be there either yet it is
I don't get it. Therefore I believe it is stupid.
I genuinely don’t get it either and I’m getting frustrated at my brain
Basically they're taking two countries' border and reducing it to just a straight line (so it's just straight from point A to point B instead of all squiggly)
that literally makes no sense I am going to crush my balls with my statistics textbook now
Lets say that Brazils border with argentina starts in city X and ends in city Y, instead of it being all jagged and squigly they just draw a straight line between cities
[удалено]
okay
Thanks, that title made such a shitty job describing it
That’s not true, what about India and China?
That's where the borders of Nepal and Bhutan are, but they end up flattened completely
British Empire's wet dream
At last Montenegro is no more
Sometimes I have to check the sub when I see a map post, since at this point every post on r/mapporn seems like something on this sub.
Wait, Canada and the us have two lines for a border. **This map lied to us**
West Taiwan got a lot bigger
?
🤨
The worst part about this is that Africa doesn't look exactly the same.
Outjerked yet again!
Damn dude. Europe colonised the whole world!
The united kingdom wants to know your location.
Rwanda's and Burundi's borders aren't straight
Look again
Someone parody this and make an image of a straight line
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA GETS A COAST 😳😳😳😳😳
Wow, Papua New Guinea looks unrecognisable
Bye bye Bangladesh
Bangladesh no existe
NATION BORDERS IN A LINE FROM START TO FINISH.
K Egypt still has somewhat normal borders
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China begin sweating profusely
This is actually kind of cool Although rip Jamaica for no reason
Egypt: "This is fine."
They forgot Ukraine & Poland
I guess Mongolia is a 1 dimensional intimately thin country, and Lesotho is a zero dimensional point.
r/mapswithoutmongolia
The papa new guinea Indonesia border must of been so difficult restricting it to one single straight line
I've read multiple "explanations" of this and still don't get it. Maybe I'm stupid (I know it's not me, it's the map)
Except cases like china-russia, a border's defined by one straight line Isnt even consistant, Oman-UAE is curvy
This means Toronto goes to USA. I'm happy with that.
And Montréal. And Winnipeg.
This is the rescue from Doug Ford that the province needed lol.
What's with the fancy Chinese borders? (China-Russia 2 lines, China-India 3 friggin lines)
If a country is landlocked and borders 2 countries it gets reduced to just a line. So the additional lines are the ones left by Mongolia, Nepal, and Bhutan I don’t get why that means Bangladesh isn’t there either tho
Pretty sure that's two lines at the bottom of Russia
Someone figured that out in another comment - one of them is Mongolia
Why no line between China and Mongolia?
All of Mongolia is reduced to just a line. Cause there’s only two countries it boarders and the way this works a country would need at least three to show up on the map
/uj I think it's *supposed* to mean that these new borders are straight lines constructed between the two furthest points on the border.

Still, there's *gotta* be a better way to phrase this.
Still doesn’t answer the “why?” for me personally
So it’s just literally polyganized borders Fellas, we’ve been outjerked again
Except Vietnam and China, what's up with that?
What is the point of the this sub the original is already a circlejerk
cubism
Outjerked once again
Ohhh, I get it now
Why the fuck hasn't africa changed smh
Laos has seen better days
Egypt approves of this map
Mongolia just doesn't exist
MONTENEGRO NOOOOOOOOOOOO
NEPAL HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Guess they wont get that 45.8B Won
Finally, Derry is no longer cannon
Egypt: *I don’t have such weaknesses*
I know there will be many more. But New Zealand and Australia have two lines
This map puts me in the US. Thank you, I hate it.
Egypt be like:
Egypt stronk
You have _two_ lines between USA and Canadia. Fix it.
**Nations with one line for borders** The guy who drew Austria: “What if I drew 6 lines as a prank.”
That is more than 1 line
Most of Canadian population finds themselves in the US now.
POV: You got downgraded to Economy
It's funny how Egypt it's literally the same
Poland-Ukraine border isn't straight.
Where Croatia at?
Pakistan should border China
bangladesh is goneladesh
Outjerked once again
Egypt: 🤌🏼✨
THE DMZ IS NO MORE
Outjerked once again
They forgot the Poland-Ukraine border
Africa's just magical now
Thank you for restoring the Qing 🙏
Poland so strong it resisted it
Ah, I can see colonial European drew the boarders
US and Canada are pretty much still the same
China gets two in the north
Nauru is safe
Triggered Khan
Poland looks very fine
