Oh neat, I have a book by the creator of this but had no idea about their website
Britain and Ireland.
It’s kind of a shitty name to insist upon given our history with Ireland though, isn’t it? Like, regardless of what it was called, we can call the archipelago “the British and Irish Isles” or something if we want to.
Personally I reckon we should call it Maughold’s Isles. “British and Irish Isles” is fine, if a little wordy. “Islands of the North Atlantic” is one I see floated every so often, but it’s miserably generic and even longer. So I suggest we use the patron saint of the Isle of Man. It’s in between Britain and Ireland and technically not part of the UK. Maughold himself was a pirate who tried to play a practical joke on St Patrick, so he’s a bit of a scoundrel, and it’s exactly the kind of silly trivia that we like so much here
It does, especially given the name predates the country by 2-3 thousand years; it’s not exactly optimal but in reality “These Islands” is the only alternative and something is needed to refer to them from outside the islands.
As an Irish person, geographically, it does. Politically it does not. Given this is a geographical map, rather than political, it’s appropriate.
I wouldn’t want to see the typical map if great Britain and Northern Ireland with ROI missing. I zoomed in to see my town, which luckily is above water.
What if Dutch and Norwegian dikes and canals were combined with Hong Kong style architecture - but everyone had British, Irish and Scottish citizenships
[EDIT: My misspelling was ghhheeeey]
What if Dutch and Norwegian dykes and canals were combined
I’m really not sure how lesbians are going to help.
Feel like this would be a little more legible with slightly less towns on it. Can barely see the old borders there are so many names everywhere.
It’s extremely high resolution, just have to zoom in. Anyway the town’s useful because you can’t really work out where anything is otherwise.
Although I’ve got to admit I’m not quite sure why they have tiny villages on there it’s useful but I’m not quite sure why the decision was made.
Oh shit. My home is underwater. :(
