Weird Shaped Countries

Chile is one weirdly shaped country. All length, no girth.

What other countries do you think are a weird shape?

Norway and Sweden together look like a penis - check it out on a euro coin!

Long legged Italy kicked little Sicily right into the middle of the mediterranean sea. Got a little Hungary. Took a little Turkey. Dipped it in Greece and fried it in Japan.

Italy looks like a boot. Ireland looks like a teddy bear on its side.

Croatia

Lesotho (Completly land locked and surrounded by South Africa)

France (when one includes the overseas bits which are scattered around the world but technically part of France)

Russia (that Kaliningrad bit that was once German/Polish/Lithuanian)

Some African countries are practicaly square.

The whole African continent looks like an electric guitar.



It does on my Live Aid t-shirt anyway.

Palestine, cut in two by Israel.

Portugal looks like a lump of poop

Britain (via Wales) kind of looks like it about to pinch Ireland's arse

I think it looks like it's spooning Ireland, or alternatively giving that teddy bear a right good rogering up the bum - kind of meaningful given the history :pac:

Norway isn't on the coin (but looks ****ing weird on it's own). They tell me that the most southern most point of Norway is closer to the Canaries than it is to the most norhtern part of Norway.

I always helt Finalnd looked like a set of testicles when shown together with Finland.

Muise...

I think you mean Sweden and Finland. Norway, however, got Slartibartfast an award for its coastline.

Wyoming in the US is a simple rectangle, not a country but an almost square state.

Northern Ireland, weird all together.

I remember a teacher at school saying ireland as an island was like a dog, lough neagh as the eye. tilt your head clockwise whilst looking at a map.

I think Venezuela kind of looks like a (flaccid) cock and (two very jagged and asymmetrical) balls:

It depends on the aspect ratio of the map you're looking at.

I've always thought Ireland looked like a teddy bear sitting down with his arms stretched out.

That's not a real country though.

If you disagree with me, I'll kick your kidneys in. Fair warning.

A square is a rectangle but not all rectangles are square.

Northern Ireland is actually a real country. It drifted up from around Australia a few million years ago and we were unlucky enough to have to collide with our bit.
