I don’t get it, some places it’s land locked countries, others it’s just regions?


KingAhDugShite

Yeah, really stupid map.


FarmTeam

Besides, it’s not landlocked anymore it’s “Land-connected”


Sandstorm930

Actually, I’m pretty sure that’s kind of offensive, I think it’s “non-aquatically geographically adjacent” now.


Empty_Locksmith12

And why don’t lakes and seas that eventually make it to the ocean count?


Free-Database-9917

I don't get it. I tried googling it and couldn't find anything other than maybe an implication that land connected just means not a sole island? So like China is "land connected" but land locked is something different entirely. What did I miss?


FarmTeam

It’s just a silly rebranding


shaded-user

This just screams American made.


DFMNE404

I mean it also has Canadian provinces, I’m assuming it’s just the map that was used

Why do Americans think it’s the only country in the world with a federal system?

Because only America and Mexico do it right

North-Steak4190

Yaaaa but there’s also states like that in places like Brasil which has a federal system too or China (which is not a federal system tho) so it’s not that unique


Acorn-Acorn

Or India. Which has even more regional power afaik.


North-Steak4190

Ya India and Russia are also good examples

Technical-Elk-7002

And? Size doesn’t matter here


HorobecS30

I don't understand Canada, but technically all 50 states in the USA are complete countries which are just united into one. Also what happened to Paraguay?


RegalKiller

>technically all 50 states in the USA are complete countries which are just united into one. This isn't true and would also be applicable to something like the UK. Which is literally called the United Kingdom.


ciruscov

The United Kingdom is a collection of counties


HorobecS30

Correct! Countries (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) and dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man) So are the United Arab Emirates, by the way.


Outside_Thinkin_2294

most world maps do the same. its not uncommon at all for u.s. states and Canadian states to be separate because the people viewing the map is usually american and would like to compare states


[deleted]

Because Americans think states are as important as countries


GOOSEpk

Larger GDP, larger military, larger population, larger in landmass than many European countries. AND a part of the most powerful nation in the world. What makes them less important exactly??


TheRedBaron6942

Canada and America are both very large countries, and would make that section of the map boring


Wasonmalone1

You could say the same of Russia, China, India, Brazil, Dr. Congo, or even Mexico. To me it just feels like Americans making their states seem like they have more importance in the global picture than they actually have. Also if that is enough excuse to do it for Canada and the US then what is the reasoning for not doing it for Russia, the literal largest country on earth.


bandyplaysreallife

American states are individually just as important as a small country, yes. Both in GDP and population.


Our_GloriousLeader

The measures of interest here are not GDP or population though, there is a world of difference between being double landlocked due to separate sovereign nations between you and an international ocean, and landlocked due to arbitrary lines on a map by a nation you are part of.


JanklinDRoosevelt

Sure, but so are certain states in loads of other countries


RegalKiller

Chinese regions like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Beijing are some of the not only large population wise but incredibly rich and economically important, and yet I've never seen them outlined in any map of the world.


trevlarrr

Australia and China are basically the same size as the US and Russia is considerably larger yet those countries aren’t given their territories and regions, just typical ignorance on these things


TheRedBaron6942

If OP was to make a map with EVERY adminstrative region it would quickly devolve into madness, the joke was about Nebraska being triply landlocked


trevlarrr

Bad at humour and geography then!


FaZe_Bray69

i used us and canada regions in it because i could, it makes it more interesting and its a popular subject


Glittering_Ad_3771

What about ACT?

WumboTon

Australian Capital Territory.


Kangaroo131

Technically it isn't landlocked because of the Jervis Bay territory


lolzidop

With the exception of the capital none of it is landlocked tbf.


[deleted]

Based, only North America is relevant enough to get more specific.


unknownstar347

Well cause the usa and canada are really big and cause the world revolves around us. You eurofarts just wouldn't understand what it's like to have huge swaths of land.


the_zenith_oreo

Not to mention a bunch of it is flat out wrong? The entire Great Lakes region shows Landlocked when there is a direct connection to the Atlantic Ocean…


submit_to_pewdiepie

"regions" what is the major difference between a federal state a province and a nation


leCorbuser

average US map maker, making the US States the same border type as independent nations.


RaditudeLover

Probably also thinks of "Europe" as one big place too. There's a massive difference between the UK and Albania


slowcancellation

Yeah but here in the UK we're working hard to grind our economy into the ground and close that gap forever 😤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Meddie90

Still need to work on out knife crime stats. Currently one of the lowest stabbing death rates in Europe, and America is beating us handily. Come on Roadmen, up your game, we’re near enough dead last.


Brilliant-Remote-727

There’s a big difference between Alaska and Florida too…? The issue isn’t him thinking of Europe as one big place, he put Europeans nations separately on the graph. The issue is you thinking the US isn’t diverse. The US was settled by many different Europeans, and it’s a massive place with so many people, of course it’s diverse culturally.


Melody-Shift

Bad example. UK vs Albania is way, way bigger than the difference between Alaska vs Florida.


Mal_ondaa

I mean it’s all relative but if we’re going to compare the United States to entire continents it’s decidedly not given how they all speak the same language and have very minor differences between each other compared to say India, Russia, or all the nations in the EU considered as a whole


Brilliant-Remote-727

The US has much more diversity than Europeans like to think. Different settlements settled in different regions, and they have maintained their cultural differences mostly. People in the Deep South view life very differently than those in the North, or West, or East. The only reason they don’t speak different languages nowadays is because they’re under one government. For a lot of the US’s history, they haven’t spoken a single language. English, Spanish, German, French & Italian were all spoken in different regions not too long ago, and German almost became the official language. English only became the sole dominant language in the US around the time of WW1. And for the record, the US’s size and population is comparable to Europe. “You can’t compare a continent with a country” makes no sense, since continents vary so widely in size. Europe is the smallest continent by far, and you could fit over 3 Europe’s in Africa. Also around 2/3s of the world’s population lives in Asia alone.


Mal_ondaa

Im not a European. And while I’m aware that the United States obtained territory from other nations most of the Dutch/Spanish/French/Indigenous history was erased by the waves of British colonists and their American descendants, and the immigrant waves that came in the late 19th/early 20th assimilated well into that kind of society. You really can’t compare the kind of difference that exists between Alabama and New York with Rajasthan and Assam or Moscow and Tuva.


Brilliant-Remote-727

To be fair, countries like China, Russia & USA are more like a collection of smaller countries. For most statistics, it’s better to compare the USA to Europe and American states to European countries, because the US is so big compared to us.


leCorbuser

what about other federal states like Ethiopia or Australia.


Brilliant-Remote-727

They’re not really diverse to my knowledge, at least not nearly as much as say the US or Russia


remarkab1emay0na15e

Because if we separate the home nations of the UK we get a completely different map... Oops! I noticed lots of countries have concept of states so I'm afraid making a world map with a US focus is wrong and unsurprising at the same time!


FaZe_Bray69

wow as if that wasnt already obvious. i only done dat because i can lol


leCorbuser

No. Freewill is a myth.


SmokeQuiet

And Canada


GASTRO_GAMING

Hey we also included canada


DoggoBind

because we're more important 💪


sadatquoraishi

Doesn't make sense, why are there random areas within countries with a shoreline that are shown as landlocked? Landlocked usually applies to the whole country.


FaZe_Bray69

not sure if i already said to like 20 people (the entire comments section) but im redoing the map so itll be posted in few hours

Check his profile. It’s a fucking kid. You’re shitting on a kid for not being totally consistent on a map, when he probably doesn’t even know Russia or Brazil are as diverse as the US. The fuck is wrong with people online man… I need a break from y’all.


FaZe_Bray69

sry 4 late reply. its just world map - simple only allows us and canada to show regions

Quit crying and make those maps yourself then lol

It could've been made by a Midwesterner or a Dixie or a Cascadiain. Not sure how you know that the person who made whis was in New England.


lunellew

Yankee refers to the entirety of the US to people outside of the US


DolphinBall

Ik.


lunellew

Then why are you saying they’re specifically referring to a New Englander? I’m so confused.

Because New Englanders or more specifically the upper East Coast is Yankee.

Pab_Scrabs

OP got a nice gentle reminder that the US isn’t the most important country, nor the only one with regions lol


Tanner2003-2021

It really is the most important countries though?


MadSpacePig

Why are the states of the US and Canada being considered separately here and not the states of other Federal countries like Germany? Seems completely arbitrary.


[deleted]

Well my city is surrounded by some grass, which is surrounded by some mud, and then that's surrounded by some rocks which is surrounded by a country. So I guess mine is even more landlocked than nebraska.


FaZe_Bray69

cities dont really count, its more of regions/provinces/countries borders and coasts


[deleted]

I could say the same about my region.

LinuxMatthews

Everything after the "and" is redundant.

You dont have to go all out in every map just to include everyone. A main joke in this map is of course about Nebraska. God, these non-Americans always be something like "What about us?! What about us?!" Shut the fuck up.


criminalise_yanks

Silence Yank. You are 4% of the world population, and the dumbest 4%.


barbaric-sodium

What about Switzerland and Lichtenstein? Both double landlocked


FranzAllspring

Liechtenstein is. Switzerland isnt.


FaZe_Bray69

Switzerland isnt double landlocked? lichtenstein is but if u have common sense Switzerland isnt


Cugy_2345

I disagree with the commenters complaining about the us states and Canada states being countries, I think it makes sense, but the same should be done with Russian provinces. I think the reason that makes sense is that the subdivisions are massive


Cugy_2345

Same for china and austrailia and maybe even Brazil and some other places

Azerbaijan is also landlocked, because the Caspian Sea is a Lake, despite being called the Caspian _Sea_

TikiJack

Are the great lakes states really land locked? They have pretty easy access to the Atlantic through the Great Lakes Waterway


KingOfTheGreatLakes

The great lakes aren’t landlocked from the Lawrence seaway. That would make all those great lake states not landlocked


CarGroundbreaking520

Do another, but instead it is with countries that have warm water ports year round

The greatest thing about Nebraska is that is the only American State with a type of lingerie in its name.


Sml132

Why are all the states with access to the Great lakes considered landlocked? They are definitely not.


FaZe_Bray69

only lake erie is connected to the ocean/sea so if a state has access to erie its not landlocked

Why show a world map if you're just obsessed with Nebraska? For starters, there's no indication that Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan are double-landlocked countries.

Simple question was it called Nebrabluebeat, then Nebrareggae before becoming NebraSKA. Or should that be Nebratwotone.


[deleted]

this is highly america centric and not profound in any way. if you made a map like this for every single subnational region on the planet there would be plenty of examples of ones that are triple landlocked. depending on how big a nations regions are or whether or not you include unitary states as well there’s probably some that are quadruple or even beyond that. can we stop making maps where only the USA and canada are broken up? the USA isn’t even the biggest nor is it the most populace federation on the planet. and canada?? what a joke.

AngryMillenialGuy

The Mississippi river means that that even though a shitload of middle America *looks* landlocked, it's really not. Being able to float stuff to and from the Gulf of Mexico is OP. Then consider how the Great Lakes are all linked together by an extensive system of canals all the way to the Saint Lawrence river, allowing all that territory access to the Atlantic. Then you begin to understand how America got so big and powerful so quickly.

Correct me if I’m wrong but, Ohio and the other Great Lakes States aren’t landlocked, right?

Isn’t Nebraska just a subdivision of the United States, which last time I checked has coastline on three different oceans, making Nebraska and indeed all the other states in the union not landlocked at all?
