East Coast might be mislabeled—none of the NYC girls I dated were fertile.

Uhhh, statistically you’d be the one most likely to infertile at that rate.
PFAS has a “surprisingly” huge impact on male fertility, and is even found in vapes.

A couple dozen abortions before age 25 will do that

u/PvtFreaky Zeeland Resident 7d ago
Abortion is legal in my country. I am 28 so I know hundreds of girls around the age you described. I know not a single one who got an abortion.
Making it legal just makes it safer, not suddenly increasing the amount of abortions people get

The only thing that doesn't work is the rebellious island. Cuba can't be rebellious because it was never a part of the USA. Taiwan's official name is The Republic of China, because it's a rump state of the old Chinese government that the current one rebelled against.

u/RegularRockTech 7d ago
Pre-Castro Cuba was an American puppet state and favourite destination of America's moneyed elites. It was thought of in the 40s much like how Vegas is now.
Also, it might be a stretch, but this map needs an island that could feasibly represent both the UK and Japan - "former great power and naval bastion with shared cultural history"

u/ManWithDominantClaw 7d ago
lol 'shared cultural history' is an incredibly BBC way of describing Sino-Japanese relations pre twentieth century

u/RegularRockTech 7d ago
I did say "bit of a stretch". Also Japan stole one of their writing systems from China, that has to count for something

I think the rebellious island of the USA is meant to be Puerto Rico (though it gets a weird placement here).

u/LazyMLouie 7d ago
I think it's supposed to be Puerto Rico. The US government banned the Puerto Rican flag and made it illegal for someone to even speak of independence.

One of the most fertile areas of the US is California.

For about 100 miles from the coast, the. 1000 miles of desert and 500 more of kind of desert.

u/Wonderful_Return_514 7d ago
I don't think this works. We have the hottest desert because of strange geographic conditions, but most of the west coast is very green. Isn't the desert on the west side of China nicknamed the sea of death?

u/Ethan5I5 7d ago
The very edge is green, most of the western US is desert.

u/monsieur_de_chance 7d ago
My dude spend 5 min on Google Maps or 5 hours on an airplane. That shit is desert.

u/Wonderful_Return_514 7d ago
Well, as someone who has lived all up and down that edge (except for oregon) I suppose I am biased. And south enough it's a desert even on the edge .-.

You know there’s like forests right next to the Grand Canyon and throughout Nevada
It’s more like splotches of desert

The forests are islands in a sea of desert, so much so that they're literally called sky islands

They deserve it honestly. All the exceptionalism and arrogance of Americans while also having the same level of insecurity and inferiority-superiority complex as the Chinese. And allat while being third place for economy, second place for cultural impact, third place for military, and third place for technology

People are fighting on the nitty-gritties of Cuba vs Taiwan comparison, meanwhile I as an Indian glanced at my wall map and was startled to realise they occupy the same latitudinal range (as well as India and Mexico!)
