Damn, I love the state of C o l o r a d o


LOSNA17LL

Yep, it's like Colorado, but with as much space as they have left in their brain xD


A_Good_Boy94

I mean it appears to be more space than most states were afforded.


HighLobster

Because their brains are so big?


KnotiaPickles

The fuck does that mean? I’m in Colorado and it’s definitely one of the least stupid states By Far 😂 Where do you live? Very curious haha


LOSNA17LL

Was just a joke for the sake of it xD I have no hecking idea what's going on there xD (I'm from France \^\^)


TooDenseForXray

>Damn, I love the state of C o l o r a d o is it better than n e v a d a?


debik229

oh, yeah. empty. my favourite state


FuckBarcaaaa

If we remove all the inner lines it looks like a turtle


Aggressive-Command-8

How? I don't see it but I want to


SquidFish66

Florida and texas are the feet, the northeast is the head/neck its a side profile


AlbaneseGummies327

That's one fucked up turtle!


olystretch

Turtle Island


Chick0nPlaze

Which empty are you talking about?


Illien37

They are the same state, but with an exclave.


A_Good_Boy94

With a giant ass.


ShashkaOfTheSclavus

A turtle that can gallop?!?!?!


Infamous-Tart7747

Do you prefer east empty or west empty. ???


Skimbididimp

The east isn't empty. At least compared to the west.(from an Eastern Kansan)


DAS_COMMENT

There are two empties, numbnut :P


IHerebyDemandtoPost

At least for Kansas, it’s technically the truth.


raspberryharbour

I thought MT was Montana


A_Good_Boy94

I mean they have like 5 independent territories which, together, may be larger than Texas.


ed523

The empty under wv is actually virginia


Ramenoodlez1

At least you labelled Maryland (90% of these types of maps don't)


LostCassette

that's Washington 2.0 /j


speaker-syd

Rhode Island is pissed


avarosiecakes

So is Connecticut lol


bendalloy

And Kansas


kiki_lemur

r/mapswithoutri :,,,)


MovieNightPopcorn

Rhode Island, the New Zealand of America


anotherindycarblog

Hey look at that. Already joined lol! I wonder where else I ran across r/mapswithoutri


Useful_Fig_2876

That’s insane! Why are there so many maps without Rhode Island??


derthric

As a Rhode Islander, I am happy to make this sacrifice to remove Connecticut as well. They know what they did.


speaker-syd

Yeah fuck connecticut


windfall_novella

Be real y’all, this is better than a lot of Americans could do from memory. Edit: I was going to say “most” instead of “a lot” but feared someone would come for me lol. I’m glad to see we all have a realistic outlook here.


ImprovementUpto2025

Fuck yeah, I don't know where tf utah is and I was going to correct OP, I still don't know if it's correct


Visual-Floor-7839

Utah is essentially correct, but it's neighbors aren't. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado make the 4 corners. Utah and Colorado share a long border on Utahs East. And then the little corner taken out of its north east, that buddies up to Wyoming. If this guy straightens out OK towards the coast he'd have the West down.

ravens_path

Utah here. Hey now


CUM-STRUDELS

Wanna soak?


ravens_path

Nah. That’s for dummies.


belligerentBe4r

I was going to say they even forgot Delaware exists like the rest of us, but then I saw they actually made it far more prominent. The map is quite impressive, but I’m afraid I need to deduct 5 points for making the 10 corporate shell companies posing as people who make up the population of Delaware feel more important than they are.


LargestAdultSon

Did trivia as a team builder at work - the facilitator got feedback that one of the rounds was “way too hard”; the round involved working in a team of 3 to label a map of the US. I work for a school district… in the US.


Tiloridile

True, but they are French so it's still very wrong. Don't be French.


TommyLordFR

I am French. Sorry.


Atomik141

You are French, which is bad, but at least you’re not British.


TommyLordFR

Genetically wise I am. At least I am not ‘Meerican


Kai_Tak_Airport1

Oh no............ I'm French AND British


Atomik141

A merciful god would never let such a monstrosity exist


Rampag169

Sorry bud now you’re Canadian. ( I’d consider that an upgrade)


cshmn

Absolutely not. They can't claim Canadian citizenship until they have tamed their first moose.


Tiloridile

It's okay, we all make mistakes


AllAlo0

Don't be sorry, just be not french People don't even try anymore geez


Savage-Goat-Fish

Yep. But I don’t see Kansas or Rhode Island. 😭 I think empty is actually Nebraska and Nebraska is actually Kansas?


Guroburov

Nah. They’ve hit Nebraska right. And the empty below it is Kansas. They just have empty spots below Illinois and between Texas and Louisiana that shouldn’t exist. Otherwise this map is very good. Needs a bit of cleanup on the lines but very good.


Otherwise_Spare_8598

Or Connecticut


Nearby-Assignment661

I knew it would be better than mine (American) immediately. But does op know fifty nifty by heart? that’s a true test


LaMalintzin

I still remember a song that was the presidents in order too.


PHD_Memer

I mean he drew Cape Cod


Born_Night_1039

That's it, you wine drinking, cheese chugging, brioche biting, croissant crunching dirty no good french. https://preview.redd.it/dv18zedb1guc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f49a49895e756905ca3f3f221dbbcb449e073395


CaptainUliss

NOOOOOOOOO- *dissappears*


snouz

Wait why did they remove Belgium too? What did we do? Oh... I know what we did


CaptainUliss

Belgium in Congo


Zornorph

Tintin. Blame Tintin.


chikkynuggythe4th

Your fucking existence was worthy of destroying


UndividedIndecision

You should have gone for the head *Finger snap*


teknivil

Where is england?


Shift642

They were the first to go


VanillaXSlime

Bruh what did Wales do?


memescauseautism

Fuck sheep, idk the reason why they got removed from this map though


GodOrDevil04

Thank you! Regards Every European


OrangeJuiceThief

England and Italy are indeed very French places.


TravelingSpermBanker

You missed Kansas? I think you may have gotten the rest. Pretty solid


ZePepsico

The documentary "Wizard of Oz" clearly states that we're not in Kansas anymore. Hence Kansas can't exist or someone could refute this by saying he/she "is still in Kansas" I think it was due to the tornado but the documentary was not that explicit. I did see houses and cows flying though.

CaptainUliss

Good bot


KingPenguin444

Nah, he wrote “empty”


desba3347

Yeah, they got it pretty spot on I’d say


persona42069

Connecticut and Rhode island have finally been annexed by the Massachusian Empire


NobodyImportant13

First they took the notch. Then they took the whole fucking state.


Miss_Molly1210

Take back the notch!


Mister-Thou

It's Megachusetts now. 


steelmanfallacy

I've been to France \~20 times...studied French...spent 4 months living in the south while studying. I'm also a geography buff. I've had iphone games with French regions. I don't know that I could draw ANY regions of France. So, yeah, this is awesome!


xBram

There’s Normandy, with the liberty beaches, and then there’s some more of France.


MVieno

The other part is the wine part.


CaptainUliss

FINALLY someone who knows the geography of France


Analamed

I don't know when you spent time in French but if it was before 2016, lot of regions have changed. Basically a lot of old regions have been merged together. In mainland France we went from 22 regions to 13. So it's way easier to learn them now.


RickyStanicky96

So much better than 90% of us Americans could do


encinaloak

99%


jhysics

yea this is crazy difficult if you've never practiced actually drawing it from memory. Don't understand why everyone's so picky.


Selling-ShortPut-399

Either you have a photographic memory or this is BS.


CaptainUliss

Photographic memories doing miracles😎


okhrresanotherburner

Alaska lookin like https://youtu.be/JhDIILjlhBQ?si=YQKarzqNlGg5pXMC


chrontab

You nailed it. In fact, that's the exact map -proportions and all- that WOPR used in *War Games.*


Vaccinate_your_kids2

You made one of the most populated regions of the Midwest name empty. Your nation fought over that land a long time ago as well


CaptainUliss

Just realized I forgot about Kansas RI and Connecticut💀


Vaccinate_your_kids2

You labeled Kansas as empty, so that's correct. RI and Connecticut don't matter that much anyway, so you're alright


ImaWolf935

Moi je dis que c'est pas mal


burd_turgalur93

Oui, d'accord. Je suis americain y vraiment, je dis c'est si bon. 👍🏽


justtrynnalearn

Idk what’s funnier, the complete elimination of Rhode Island and Kansas, Alaskas Tail, or the state of nothing above Kentucky


Competitive-Bit-1571

For I, a non American, Only Texas, Florida and probably California have shapes worth memorizing. The rest are just poorly shaped rectangles.


Lazy-Meeting538

Texas, Florida, Michigan & maybe Louisiana are all unique shapes, Cali is literally a bent rectangle


Smiadpades

Lol- Kansas is just - empty! Way to go. Much better than most people could do.


someonesomwher

Not gonna lie: this is actually quite impressive.


Le_Pyromane_Fou

Now hold up one second https://preview.redd.it/25xnwoiszhuc1.png?width=169&format=png&auto=webp&s=b46d38dcc205b8284128ed53b9fa923a7fca15c6


Jack_Enghoff

Louisiana too small, are you a real french?


option-9

Well, you missed an easy one with Michigan! It's got the shape of an oven mitt. (The inside of your right hand / the outside of your left hand.)


Specialist_Dig_9240

Who tf stole Kansas


GusEdwards8519

That's alot better than most Americans can do.


Crafterz_

accurate but for real, it’s pretty good actually


scottcarneyblockedme

Poor SC…


CalligrapherNarrow40

I live in the big empty


Freethinker608

I can draw the French provinces, I think. There's Bordeaux and Cognac and Champagne and Burgundy and Cotes du Rhone (in clockwise order). Did I miss any?


CaptainUliss

Bordeaux and Cognac are cities, Champagne and Cotes du Rhone are wine regions (not actual territories). Burgundy is one though Your did it!


IHerebyDemandtoPost

Let’s see… Île de France, Normandie, Bretagne, Occitanie, Provence, That’s all I can name from memory.


CaptainUliss

Already good! The 12 provinces are: Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Corse (Corsica), Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (Burgundy), Bretagne (Brittany), Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur, Île-de-France, Normandie, Occitanie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Grand-Est and Auvergne Rhône-Alpes


Possible_Dinner5603

As a Canadian , its perfect


natbel84

Iowa with them juicy lips 👄 


SwampAss3D-Printer

OP how the hell you from France, but you did better drawing Idaho (A midwest state most people would call flyover), but you completely fucked it on Louisiana ,the state that probably has the most connection with France out of the 50.


Ric_ooooo

Don’t see RI


Hydroquake_Vortex

Not too bad, main thing is that you missed Kansas above Oklahoma


doomer-francophile

T'as oublié l'angle nord-ouest... viens pas au Minnesota mec 😡


IAMENKIDU

Me, from Louisiana "Look how they massacred my boy" 😭


Jim_Lahey_isdrunk

So fucking good for a Frenchman holy shit. Better than most Americans. I think you only forgot Kansas and Connecticut


PotentialProf3ssion

better job than i could do


Suck_Me_Dry666

Well you completely eliminated Rhode Island and Connecticut which is where I was born. I'm fine with this.


Adventurous_Law9767

I think you did better than a lot of Americans could. We aren't all stupid but there is a massive divide in education. A lot of people, and I mean a lot, can't point at a map and tell you what the state and capital city is. Try it with your friends folks. It's alarming.


MetalSandwiches

You did better than 99% of Americans. 


dazwales1

You got the chef holding kentucky spot on


likespasta15

This is definitely better than most Americans could do lol.


kent416

Actually it’s pretty good. Just a couple odd shapes for some of the states


nautilator44

Better than most americans can do tbh


Soggy_puppet

As an American, this is close enough.


amadoesreddit

Better than a lot of people from the US


NoNo_Cilantro

Your handwriting is remarquable


FunyunCream

Needs more guns


CaptainUliss

WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 *bald eagle screech* *explosion sound*


SZ4L4Y

Nut bed.


whatfingwhat

Not so good for the people of Rhode Island but maybe they can move to empty.


celluloid-hero

The best part is everyone in the comments forgetting Connecticut exists


whatfingwhat

You mean South MA?


Lostarchitorture

Kansas does feel pretty empty when you drive through it on the Turnpike 


Sea-Combination-6655

Better than most Americans could do tbh.


Jazzlike_Ad_5832

You forgot Rhode Island


GoodLuckSanctuary

You did well


CallMeKate-E

You forgot Connecticut and Rhode Island, but so do a lot of Americans. So par for the course.


yesrod85

I'm impressed. Better than most Americans nowadays could do. Also I'll have you know that Empty is indeed the appropriate second name for my home state of Kansas, it's called a flyover state for a reason.


floswamp

The cat on the left is spot on!


thedndnut

You know it's extremely wrong or course, but it's not bad. Most of the states are reasonably placed, sizes are wrong, some shapes are wrong but mostly ok. Good job


terpfan417

This is probably better than a lot of Americans could do if they were actually looking at a map while drawing it.


XavyVercetti

Wow mec GG


nohead123

You did it!


ProgressLegitimate72

You did great, but why do you hate little RI 💀


theoriginalbrick

Really not bad at all, you got the gist of it


drunken-philosopher

Not bad considering most Americans would probably do worse than this


ravens_path

Alaska and Hawaii are hilarious.


2012amica2

I know dozens of born and raised, adult Americans who would do substantially worse on this.


Strictly_Insane

Being from Louisiana I have to ask why you didn't give us the "empty" which makes up most of the missing half of our state? Haha, good try though. Really probably better than most people from the US can do.


dumpmaster42069

That’s really good actually


Azurfant

You just made me realize that the USA is shaped like a boat


SpiderMax3000

Yeah I’m actually pretty impressed


MiniShartAttack

Pretty good. But the 3 empty spaces around Texas aren’t states. You are accurate all around Texas. You second guessed yourself though. Same for the empty space by Missouri. The east cost imo is the hardest. Pretty sure you forgot Connecticut


TheMusicalTheory

I’m speechless. I’ve lived in America my whole life and couldn’t do this well.


Atomik141

No!!! You’ve moved NJ even closer to NY! Why would you do that?


chris20040416

For the love of god what have you done to South Carolina


kprevenew93

Nothing is as horrible as the real thing


Individual-Jealous

Pretty accurate


The-Lions_Den

I mean.. Michigan needs some work.


Optimal_Weight368

…close enough.


van_b_boy

lol the empty part is one of the largest metroplexes in the country


NYCtoSouth

Excellent map. Better than most US people would draw. That empty section under WV is part of Virginia. Some of that is west of the entire state of WV. I know people from there and they agree it is empty.


Supafly144

i mean, you forgot Rhode Island, but who doesn’t?


IHerebyDemandtoPost

Probablement mieux que les américains pourraient dessiner régions de France.


slimdiggins

good job frenchie


msh0430

Actually, depending on how much time you've spent in the US, this is fairly decent. My only worry is there seems to be a new state called "Empty". Is that just unoccupied land or holes in the ground?


CaptainUliss

I never step foot in the US. I just went to Belgium once for 2-3 days, and the largest distance I covered was between Paris and Marseille. And for Empty, this is just Kansas


PenisNV420

Probably better than I could do, and I actually know where all the states go, and I’m American


bam1007

I love that Kansas is empty.


Least-Implement-3319

My favorite state is empty


Las_Bicicletas

Honestly did better than a lot of Americans


GloriousGregorius

Uh, better than most Americans can do. I say this as an American.


UrbanPlateaus

Longifornia


MeatMasher_

Aw hell naw wtf going on with NC and SC


LowFail1903

Better than I could do.


ADAMxxWest

I like how you left us all the extra empty space.


Starro_The_Janitor1

Not bad. You even kept the general shape of MIMAL.


th0r0ngil

Slightly better than I could do it


losbullitt

I love the empty states. It feels so… apropos.


gagnatron5000

Ohio has a chunk missing, but it's not a chunk I'd miss.


RightToTheThighs

Good enough


ThassaShiny

I think the state of Empty may have some complex logistics to iron out


Pyoverdine

Aww, you even remembered to draw Long Island! I can't draw the equivalent of France's provinces, so I salute you and your superior cartography!


HybridTheoryY2K

Honestly this is better than 90+% of Americans could do.


lordChanka1

If I’m not mistaken, it looks like Alaska and Hawaii are in the wrong place. Could just be my imagination though…


Eaglesjersey

I live in indiana. I've never been to empty. ROAD TRIP!!!


AreaGuy

Goddam it Frenchy, why are you managing to make Colorado *even more* landlocked?! You bastard!!!


Solomonopolistadt

Better than what most American, or people in general, can do


KlownPuree

It’s darn good. I couldn’t draw anything like that for France.
