Change Germany to Ukraine. Then we can say "The Ukraine is weak!" And put a little oval beside "East India" so we can call it "Indochinapan"

Lol Europe could be renamed Yourope, Although I still think It's a bad idea. My friend made this up, but you could change East India to Chindia

that's pretty redundant dear Robin; why else would mr. dimwit bring it up?

I tried that; it didn't work.

I can do that; change Germany into Ukraine and then Europe into Germany. Of course, you can get your "Ukraine is weak" fix on the classic map if you want, but whatever floats your firewood.

Okay. I think that's a good idea… What about Indochinapan though? Good idea or no?

First of all, everybody in the world has a weird accent. Everybody. Yes, even you.
Second of all, UK is one name which I refuse to alter or compromise simply because it's the only one that fits in that little island.

I tend to agree there.

That sort of goes against the idea that the kid drawing the map is completely geographically incompetent.

No, it's not; if you disagree, I challenge you to scan and post a postcard from Conga or Andy's Mountains.

I think it shouldnt sound so precise. I think evil dimwit is aiming for a map that isnt accurate, becuase its made by a little kid. A little kid wouldnt know the name scandinavia or Ukraine or afghanistan. thats why irakistan and andy's mountains work.

Issues addressed:
- ) Penguins redone

Issues not addressed:

- ) Any other brilliant ideas
I'm not sure but I don't think the South American a's are still dark enough?

Agreed; I darkened them.

OK, I tried to put Germany down there and it didn't work. What do y'all think of "EU"?

Hmm, yes, I forgot about that. What's EU in French, by the way? UE? Don't you generally flip the acronym when translating?

How about Eukraine or even Eucrane to replace Europe? It makes it as if he think's the two countries are interchangable, and also makes Ukraine geographically wrong.

It's Etais Unis or something like that. I'm pretty sure thats spelt wrong… But the idea is the same. In short, it's EU.
