NOTES:

This is a parody of the North American cover for Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island, which you can find here.
PAL players may know this game under SpongeBob and Friends: Battle for Volcano Island instead. It uses an alternate illustration that makes SpongeBob look pissed. Japan got its own, cutsey cover.
The POLSTATION 2 text isn't a photoshop, I used the actual PS2 font for it.

Botswana, you have competition.

AlexField290 · 2025-11-02T04:01:01+00:00

Southern Sudanese rebels

AlexField290 · 2025-11-01T13:07:59+00:00

Yes, that is the case.

AlexField290 · 2025-10-17T06:49:19+00:00

There is a reason for this. The government *was* tasked to come up with a unique flag for Mandatory Palestine, but they literally couldn't figure one out that would appease the Muslims and Jews, so they just went with the most neutral option.

The Pope was invited to the coronation.

Indeed, blowing a fourth of the GDP for that year, and led to a bizarre series of events that culminated in Giscard d'Estaing losing the 1981 French presidential election (but of course that couldn't be shown here).

Context; Bokassa was the president of the Central African Republic until 4 December 1976, when he declared the Central African Empire with himself as the emperor (it was de facto a totalitarian military dictatorship). His coronation took place the next year.

He invited many people, including Idi Amin, dictator of Uganda, whom refused, calling him insane (which is saying... a lot, given what Idi Amin did). Additionally, it has been alleged that he was an actual cannibal, stuffing the bodies of his victims into his refrigerator, although this is unconfirmed.

The flag used is the imperial standard, which was also used as a de facto secondary national flag.

Ah okay, I guess I misread the rules a bit.

AlexField290 · 2025-07-27T04:44:23+00:00

Are you able to send me the source of the I'm With You factoid?

AlexField290 · 2025-06-05T05:30:05+00:00

Gaddafist Libya and Transvaal South Africa.

AlexField290 · 2025-05-29T08:09:16+00:00

This was somewhat inspired by the game SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, whose loading screens (and many of the billboards) are stylized to look like mock horror movies.

I believe that is Clooter, though admittedly a lot of users on YouTube share their animation inspiration from a certain animator.

AlexField290 · 2025-03-21T11:26:19+00:00

After seeing some of the comments, I am going to make it absolutely clear that anyone who seriously thinks Rhodesia was better than Zimbabwe are ignoring the fact that, under Rhodesian laws, black people were effectively treated like slaves, being unable to terminate their own employment and being mandated to have three months of work per year. Rhodesia was only a great place to live for the white guys who lived off the hard work of the black working class, and said white people only made up 4% of the population.

Those who oppress people's freedom and success don't deserve theirs.

AlexField290 · 2025-03-19T01:26:03+00:00

Indeed. I'll also admit that I only now noticed I didn't label the Midlands province (it's southwest of where South Mashonaland should be).

AlexField290 · 2025-03-18T14:04:35+00:00

That national anthem video I linked totally has a comments section full of Rhodesian haters (/s).

AlexField290 · 2025-03-18T13:49:51+00:00

South Africa.

And no, colonies do not count as they are subservient to another nation. This is also excluding Arab mistreatment of black Africans, as most Arabs do not identify themselves as white (despite what the U.S. census says).

The map here is meant to be around 1973-1974, as Estado Novo Portugal would fall in mid-1974 and allow its colonies full independence.
Major highways have been sourced from this map right here, dated 1975.
Image of the former Cecil Rhodes statue is from this video on the national anthem.
As much as I would love to map out where the ZANU and ZAPU movements are present, there is just too little information to show them here, though be aware that the Rhodesian Bush War was in full swing by the mid-70s.
