This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

thought the same, lol. i dont think she knows about it yet
They tell me NZ is the same as Australia and Canada, but Icelandish.
Everyone's saying it.
You joke but a (NZer) family member on an overseas holiday got into an argument with a local over the existence of NZ. Family member, being a tourist, was asked where they were from and said New Zealand. Nothing strange there. Local said that NZ was a state in Australia. Confidently incorrect. When my family member tried to correct them, they argued they were right and the person who was from the actual country was utterly wrong 🤦♀️
I think that's NZ on the map, it's just attached to Australia
Oh yeah, good point!
correct
Not bad but it's interesting how Vietnam and Nepal are on par with continents. I feel like this might have been drawn by someone from East Asia or South America, considering how it is positioned. Also noting Asia itself is not mentioned. There is no Middle East.
Nope, danish. My 7 year old sister (and i) is very interested in the ecosystems of Asia. Especially Snow Leopards!
Nepal getting a lot of relevancy on her mind.
Yeah, she knows most about that because of nature and stuff.
Thank her for me for the representation.
Left off New Zealand like the rest of the world.
I asked her and she said New Zealand on this map is merged with Australia, LOL. I actually see it now
w Zealand on this map is
Also Seems quite acceptable :)
I see a kangaroo 🦘 in northwest Australia, great attention to detail there
lol that wasnt on purpose but i see it now
We did an experiment when I was in school to have everyone draw a map of the world, and I was told that people draw the country they're from the largest and the most accurately, whereas other countries are often indistinct shapes and smaller in scale.
This leads me to believe you are somewhere in South America
Nope, Denmark
Lots of attention to asia. Do you have family there?
Nope, she just likes it and so do i. Good food, cool animals, cool nature.
Has an aquatic feel.
Very well done!
Antarctica is a humpback whale, S.A. is a manatee, N.A. is a beaver, Nepal is a big damned clam...
she laughed at this comment lol
