Why are american state shapes so dumb? Literally just rectangles

Why are american state shapes so dumb? Literally just rectangles.

Literally Autism

Compared to glorious Europe

>9/50 are rectangles
>all are rectangles

???

Lel, cause easier to find state lines, stupid fuck. Sage.

Dude your country is smaller than Texas and Alaska. Literally smaller than states in a foreign nation.

BTFO. I'm on mobile and don't even know what flag you are. That's how irrelevant you are.

Borders which aren't created by naturally made rivers and lakes are given latitude and longitude boundaries

The United State of America was invented by the Jews and Freemasons who don't believe in natural borders.

what did they mean by this?

You mean the >countries in europe?

What even is Romania? I couldn't name a less relevant country.

Fuck North Carolina

>leaving out his hat

What's the most aesthetic state shape?

I vote Minnesota

A lot of the USA is wilderness with little in the way of natural boundaries.

...

benis

Those square states are mostly desert and prairie so it makes sense as an arbitrary rectangle

Yeah, what the hell? Look at all these straight lines.

i don't have to take this kind of shit from a fucking romanian

Romania

Because states don't really matter.

Thanks bud, I love my state

Britain and Italy have the best shapes

colorado

italy looks like a boot, but what does britain look like?

Wisconsin, it's like the most recognizable flyover state of all.

>most recognizable country shape

are you missing chromosomes?

Your thread is garbage and you should feel bad.

Our borders are mostly artificial, drawn up by humans at some point. Europe's borders are natural being that they're either created by natural geographical features or exist based on what ethnic group populated that land. Also thousands of years of conflict tend to make the edges of your country a bit uneven.

...

it's clearly Texas, you dimwit

>Thanks bud I love my state
As someone who lived in St. Paul for 10 years I do not comprehend why anyone would love that fucking shithole of a state
>Inb4 >city
I've had plenty of time to explore the rest of this decrepit hourglass of Somalians and liberals

Gypsy math strikes again

european states and most other countries states are just blob shaped circles

>small country small mind

I've always admired West Virginia's shape - very unique

That's Mimal, with his Tennessee table and Kentucky fried chicken on it. Duh.

It has to do with the conflict between metes and bounds vs. section, township and range.

Because we didn't spend centuries going to war with each other and parceling out different plots and redrawing borders to keep some whiny Yuropoor metrosexuals happy, only for them to get mad 20 years later and start the shit all over again.

That's cause Burgers wouldn't be able to handle it if it was any more complicated

i hope trump's first order of business is to nuke finland
i've had enough of the eternal hun, this shit needs to end

>leaf had to make his territories bigger so he could actually count them all
I'm surprised you guys didn't keep it under 10.

You forgot Mimal's hat.

lots of states west of the mississippi are rectangles or have many straight borders since there was no natural boundary to base them on

you have Saskechewan, you don't get to say anything.

Wyoming

Gypsy land

Texas

I like how illinois looks like lincoln.

Bordergore is highly haram

Texas.

Hmm lets see, europe, countries structured around nations of people, people are usually seperated by natural barriers like rivers and mountains... This is reflected in shapes of nations.

Europeans colonise america, start out the same way on the east coast because, logic.

1776 happens.

DAAAAUUHHHH DIS CALLED UH-TA
DIS CALLED NE VA DU
DIS ONE HERE CALLED DURRRR KO TA

literally retarded people being retards, uncivilised people in charge of doing a civilised worlds job.

A FUCKING RECTANGLE

Either Florida which is shaped like a gun, or Texas which was its own country and has history behind its borders.

clearly Michigan

>tfw not a texan
>tfw can't go hog hunting at night with fully automatic suppressed anti aircraft guns
it truly is one of the best states

In the original colonies, a bunch of eurofags were stuck in the way of drawing out fancy shapes based on bullshit. Then when we killed England everyone realized that drawing borders that way was faggot shit so we kept it straightforward after the first 13 states. It's much more efficient to survey in a straight line.

An angel

NC has the sexiest shape of any state. Prove me wrong.

>bunch of random blobs
was this map made by literal children

Alaska is pretty cool.

Eastern states are primarily based on natural borders and have been around much longer, shaped by the machinations of colonial masters and split and treated over a number of wars

Western states were typically just drawn out roughly on a map before anyone really lived there.

Some still follow natural borders like rivers, Californias eastern border with Nevada but it generally follows the sierras Nevada mountains

that's why. Western states are arbitrary, eastern states were also arbitrary but have more time to morph

European border security have formed slowly over millennia

Kill thyself yankee

Posting best country shape

now in its future black, isis clothes

European landscape is "compressed" there are many separate mountain chains that allow neat borders. Russian borders are also square but a little more refined if you look closely

In America, you only have 3 mountain chains that form real borders: the Appalachians, the East rockies and the West rockies. In between is desert plateau or flat area. Rivers however, don't make good borders and can leave cities split (see Kansas city). Straight lines through nothing are tidy and make land division easier

Dixe is aesthetic af

Come home Florida Man

Texas is pretty cool

Texas is not really Dixie is it? it's more like Dixy's boyfriend.

Washington. It's the best if both worlds. California/New York on West coast, Colorado/Texas on east coast.

The more square states came around when automobiles were becoming more commonplace, state lines became more based on roadways

None of it was important enough to fight/argue over when the borders were being drawn

A fucking cooking pot

I think you're right. Maybe even more of an ex-boyfriend. I've never been there, but they're definitely our closest ally.

There are two states on that map that are rectangles. Your point?

Texas

not Utah

worst state = wyoming
>muh symmetrical square

>his state isn't a peninsula

>Why are american state shapes so dumb? Literally just rectangles.

Because it's easier that way, and American state borders weren't the result of a thousand years of constant warfare.

Obviously.

but what does britain look like?

a witch
