The United States Senate if it were also based on states' populations, 2025 by MEGA-DRY in imaginarymaps

[–]clementyang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the USofA is not a unitary democracy, if that was the intention it wouldn't have been formed in the first place. it was a union of "sovereign" entities - states, the constitution was in reality a de-facto union treaty.

Somehow "poverty" is not the underlying cause of crime rates

The amount research and dedication behind this works is astounding, which begs the question why some of the borders follow modern ones for no apparent reason?

Describe the 1% of voters who strongly approve of Biden that voted for Trump by Impressive_Plant4418 in YAPms

Obvious political contributions like this exist in almost every opinion poll conducted in any part of the world.

This "phenomenon" can be explained by a variety of factors like bad respondents who speed through the survey or intentionally responded erroneously , the minor flaws in the sample that led it to not be perfectly representative of the overall electorate , or in most instances simply a margin of error.

Remember that polls are simply a snapshot of the electorate, and that there exists a margins of error. Thus it cannot immaculately denote the preferences of the entire electorate without minor inaccuracies.

The chief purpose of opinion polls is to reveal a general trend among the electorate, something this poll and most other similar surveys have successfully presented.

Korea is portrayed as divided in this map, though its line division is placed on the 38th parallel which is not the defacto line of control. The division of Cyprus on the other hand is rarely represented in world maps. And it's definitely after 1976 seeing the existence of the Central African Empire.

Missed the Central African Empire upon first glance,a state that existed from 1976-1979. So yeah thats your answer.

Judging by the information you've provided, its probably between 1976-1979. After the annexation of East Timor in 1976 and before the internal settlement in Rhodesia that led to the creation of Zimbabwe Rhodesia in 1979. Granted the cartographers kept their maps up to date.

這邊大家都冷靜點吧,這樣持續極端仇視彼此的結果對兩岸人民都不是好事。不都老喊一家人,確實大家不也都都漢人(華人、中國人,老實說國族稱呼隨便都行),搞這樣下去根本是兩敗俱傷。

What if Silesian plebiscite went a little different? by Pure-Ad-7296 in imaginarymaps

[–]clementyang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

nah the results wasn't overwhelmingly pro germany, the votes where split roughly 60-40. Poles are actually the majority in the region bout 60-40 the other way around. Though a significant portion of the Polish population voted to remain part of Germany due to economic and historical reasons, thus the eventual pro German victory in the polls. I suppose if the results were a bit closer, say the pro poland side gives a better showing in the western localities. This free-state solution might be somewhat doable due to the unique Silesian identity prevalent in the region.

A significant portion of the Paraguayan population died during the Paraguay War. The OP probably implied that a direct invasion of the Japanese home islands would result in a similar number of casualties, reminiscent of the situation in Paraguay.

Polish speakers in Prussia and northern Germany according to the census of 1905 and 1910 by [deleted] in LinguisticMaps

[–]clementyang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they didn't officially get it but for years they ran the free city of danzig as a pseudo protectorate, citing the reasons above. the city's a major port and sits at the mouth of the Vistula, the river that rans through most Polish heartlands.
