    What’s with these posts of adding random bits of land to a map and saying “derp Americans “? Try harder so we at least get a laugh.

    This is like adding random islands in the ocean sort of near Australia and saying “derp Euros think New Zealand exists”

      It’s a trick to get us to send troops and a McDonald’s there, and then they laugh while they watch us struggle in the sea.

      Okay, fair point. Then tell me what is in the red circle, without looking it up.

      Note, that I only added a red circle and an arrow and no additional country.

        It’s only a country in the vaguist sense. It’s a historical artifact. Charlemagne’s last gasp. It’s beyond funny that they have a vote in the UN, despite being effectively a tax haven and ski resort.

        It’s such a bizarre thing that Macron is a prince there.
