I'm pretty sure it's an accurate representation.A Question to Americans
It's correct. What would lead you to question it?
[QUOTE=''LJS9502_basic'']It's correct. What would lead you to question it?[/QUOTE]I just was wondering thats all. I just can't believe that the borders are exact straight lines like the map shows.
kinda looks like the borderlines of parts of Africa, right after they dissolved most of the colonies.a red marker and a nice ruler, what else could you ask for :P (except respect for tribal territories.)I cant help but wonder how exactly those straight lines came to be in the U.S :) im not much of a historian unfortunatly.
Are you on acid? This sort of subject becomes very interesting if you are on acid.

the newer western states have artifical boundaries with straight lines. the older eastern ones have more natural boundaries that follow things like rivers and such..

I agree, states should be circles. And in the areas in between we could put gypsies, and wild animals.
Who else thought this was going to be a troll trying to get under amercans skin?
No, a lot of state borders follow natural geological lines like rivers, mountains, streams, creeks, etc. When youre zoomed out like that looking at the entire country, it comes off as looking like straight line, but if you look at the actual border up close it wont be all straight.But ya, the borders are that straight and clean cut you might say.
I think it's accurate
Colorado always freaks me out with it's squareness. That said i've never been.. maybe it's a utopia of tolerance and unity. Having a perfect box shape has no way of detracting from that possibility..
The only state I have a problem with is Montana. Just look at it, staring at Oregon. You just know it's planing something. . .
No, the states are really triangles.
I remember hearing that you could literally be in four states at once by standing on the Colorado/Utah/Arizona/New Mexico border.

What he said. Most of the western states were divided up on a map into territories, thus the polygonal borders.
[QUOTE=''k_smoove'']I remember hearing that you could literally be in four states at once by standing on the Colorado/Utah/Arizona/New Mexico border.[/QUOTE]This is true. There's even a plaque marking the exact point.
Yeah, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico all end at the straight lines. It's actually physically possible to be in all 4 states at once.

Yea, I heard.
and no, they're all squiggly and stuff.
Well it will be accurate for a few days, then Michigan will invade Ohio.. California will secede from the Union. And Utah will be renamed to Mormon World.
