America, fuck yeah!

Lit needs a, Sweden, fuck yeah!, thread.

I don't know if there's jingoism in Sweden. Perhaps it should be titled "Sweden, if you please?"

Am guessing he'd post it in Latin.

Once upon a time Sweden was very jingoistic, like when Tegnér wrote that poem, for instance.

It's interesting that you chose that. The convention of Europe being "the west" and Asia being "the East" is older than America. It was probably created by some Roman.

A different west and a different east, though.

But it's just a cartoon I found vaguely amusing this morning.

Maps in American schools used to really look like that, with North America as the center of the world. Never met anyone who didn't get eastern and western nations though.

As opposed to European maps, which center on England.

I'm used to European maps. I don't see many like this picture; I assume because it's more natural to keep Asia intact.

Good point. Never really thought of it like that.

Your map has two Greenlands.

You mean there isn't two Greenlands

I thought you'd suggest "Sweden, bork bork bork!"

Probably because of the GMT, though.

Now that you mention it...

Which is still arbitrarily centered on England. We Americans learned our nationalism somewhere.

Norwegian maps centre on Norway, causing the South Pole to slide right above the North Pole

Ah. Post one.

Ah. Post one.

I joked. We're nobody
We just use the English-centred one

And we send them a yearly x-mas tree

It's not arbitrary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Mean_Time  Blame your nationalism on something else.
