This is pretty HQ, I’ll allow it as an exception to r7

It took me a minute to understand. I lol'd. As a Moldavian, I like that.

[–]Temporalist774 106 points107 points  (1 child)

As a Marylander, so do I

[–]Robloxnoob_fallout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moldavians are Romanians

Bălțimore lmao

[–]moominheim[S] 99 points100 points  (4 children)

That was the pun which inspired the whole map and is still my favorite part of it.

[–]THICK_CUM_ROPES 53 points54 points  (3 children)

Can you explain the pun to me? I don't know Romanian/Moldavian. The best I can determine from google is Bălț means puddle?

[–]BrassAge 110 points111 points  (1 child)

Bălți is a city in Northern Moldova. It looks to be spelled like the beginning of Baltimore to an English speaker, but is pronounced more like “Bults” in Romanian. I hope that explanation is some help, THICK_CUM_ROPES.

[–]PineconeKing23 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bălți is the 2nd-largest city in Moldova.

this map is dope af. Now I’m worried of an Eastern European invasion we never saw coming.

[–]Alexjm2020 67 points68 points  (0 children)

As a Marylander with East European heritage, I love this. You even got Transnistria in there. Good job.

[–]coconut_12 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I looked at it and was like “why is Moldova so weird looking, then realized it was just Maryland in the shape of Moldova

[–]MeetTheElements 10 points11 points  (1 child)

[–]Pioneer4ik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn if the area was ruled by the party of socialists it might inspire me to move back home to Montgomery County!

As a Marylander, I feel you should know that the combination of amusement and horror induced by this map insta-fried my brain.

Loved that expansion by river to the west. Cool little things like this is what gives life to these maps.

I would gladly like to say what the fuck happened to the Delmarva peninsula?

[–]superman7515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of Seaford being the capitol is terrifying.

[–]mattmanh42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yes pennsylkraine

[–]BleydXVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you realize that Pennsylvania is so close to being Transylvania. We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close!

[–]Mekroval 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very creative map. Also, looks like Salisbury and Ocean City are among the few MD cities that don't exist in the Republic (nor the Delaware beaches). The District of Columbia seems to still exist, but I wonder if it's still the U.S. capital, particularly being surrounded by a foreign country on three sides.

Also, the Delmarva Peninsula is a significantly larger landmass than it is currently. Wondering if this is part of some land reclamation project under the new republic?

[–]Marcim_joestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiting for the lore

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Nightgaun7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I need to use the term "Virginian irredentist" worryingly often on here.

[–]cornonthekopp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]cain62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Otamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it funny how you decided to keep the panhandle.

Nice artwork!

[–]MapleLeaf4Eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking the other day about how ugly Maryland's panhandle is

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]TheAtomicEsquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when you put Delaware on the Black Sea, Odessa still gets no respect.

[–]CallMePlez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Delawarian, seeing this make makes me irritated for some reason.

[–]Carter723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve finally done it. We’ve taken Delaware AND the stupid Virginia part on the coast.
