A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Small text explains that exclaves are excluded, otherwise Brazil also has a land border with France.

Had to think about this but I don't think an island is considered an exclave.

The reason for this is because it is entirely surrounded by water, not another piece of land. Islands are not usually considered to be exclaves.

https://homework.study.com/explanation/is-hawaii-an-exclave.html it's paywalled but the answer came through on google.

The island is right beside both Canadian and Denmark (greenland) land, so it's not exactly isolated or surrounded by either.

Greenland might count as an exclave itself, though.

... Not if islands are not.

Oh shit, yeah, I forget it's considered an island.

I see Indonesia borders Papua on that map, and that's the same situation. Plus, Greenland isn't treated separately from Denmark, which would be the other possibility.

Maybe they don't have data on it? /s

Edit: I'm wrong, ignore the rest of my comment. Leaving it around for the world to see my shame.

An enclave is one country's land that's completely surrounded by another country's land.

The land border between Canada and Denmark is on an island, and each country "owns" half the island. There's no enclave involved here.

"Ex" vs "en"

[–] overcast5348@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Oops, my bad.

It's totally arbitrary for the purposes of making the map look better. Otherwise Indonesia wouldn't be on the continent.
