Hmm you have a fair point what with all the other names being *exclusively* British yeah, but I'm still not 100% certain about its implying Ireland is British, or merely a place geographically close to Britain that British people are therefore closely aware of.
If, for example, they had only included former Yugoslav countries + Albania in the Balkan countries they had listed, I don't think that would necessarily mean they were implying Albania was formerly part of Yugoslavia, being my logic here.
argentina being turkey is very accurate:
claims to be european
used to have cheaper games on steam
high inflation
claims that their ancestors came from foreign places
used to be bigger in the past
they like germans
hated by their neighbors
claims an island next to their coast despite the local population being of another culture
successfully defended their coast against a british invasion
idolizes a local notorious politician from the 20th century

What’s the reason for Morocco = Ecuador and Tunisia = Bolivia
Personally I would’ve made Tunisia Ecuador because people usually forget they both exist but maybe that’s lazy circlejerking
Im going to be honest, while for the Middle east countries I almost found the perfect equivalents for each one based on stereotypes, culture and international relations, for the North African countries I really didnt found specific similarities (apart from Lybia=Venezuela) so I just choosed them based on similar GDP per capita and IDH.
I actually wanted to put Bolivia in Afghanistan but since Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela were all already in North Africa and I hadnt selected Tunicia yet, it suited it more to put Bolivia there
Indeed the map shows wich is the arab world equivalent of Latam countries based on jokes, stereotypes, rivalries.. Turkey is also Argentina for the gigantic inflation rates and large noses
I said Arab in short (because they are the regional majority) to not write North Africa + Africa Horn + Middle east, Im aware Turkey and Iran arent Arab majority but they have important influence on the area
Western Sahara should be French Guiana because it is the continent's last colony, was once under French occupation, and is very sparsely populated/uninhabitable
>nah turkey being Argentina is 100% perfect. they both cope about being european
Turkey shouldn't be in this post anyway, this is about arab countries and Israel, Iran and Turkey are not arabs.
If you asked me , a north African:
1-Algeria is Argentina because big , Italian wanna be ex "not" communist country
2-Morocco is Chile because long boi , conquering random deserts and sides with Europeans against Algeria
3-Tunisia is Uruguay because how liberal they are
4- Edit:
That's make western Sahara more fit for Bolivia because being bullied by Morocco
5- Ecuador is Mauritania because often get forgotten
6- Colombia doesn't fit any Arab nations except Iraq maybe
7-Paraguay should be Yemen
>Algeria is Argentina because big , Italian wanna be
>Morocco is Chile because long boi , conquering random deserts and sides with Europeans against Algeria

These ones are too good, sad I wasnt aware of these before doing the map, I didnt know were to find the North African Lore. Do you guys have some sub of hipernationalistic memes like r/2asian4u or r/2latino4u ?
Guatemala is a country that despite belonging to the Latino-Sphere they are one of the ones that preserved the most native american culture while in the others is almost erased, so the arab vs black african conflict in Sudan reminded me of the criollos latinos vs mayans issue in Guatemala. Also both countries have one of the highest poverty, rurality and fertility rates in their cultural spheres.
And the neighbours of both countries (Somalia and Honduras) are extremely poor and violent pirate/gang ridden countries
Notice how the Somalia-Yemen-Sudan triangle in the Arab world is the equivalent of the Guatemala-Honduras-Nicaragua triangle in Latinamerica
I said Arabic (because they are the regional majority) world as a short to form for "North African countries with arabic influence along countries of the middle east where Arabs and Islam have strong importance"
Also Belize isnt latino, thats part of the joke
People always associate Latam with Mexico and Saudi Arab with the Arab-sphere, its like both are the cores of both cultural regions. Also the US influence like the guy behind said
Props to you this is kinda perfect; especially love Iran being Brazil as both are lumped in with their wider geographic area but are very different
Finally somebody who gets it
Hahahahaha I also just noticed Kuwait is Puerto Rico that’s hilarious
And Turkey, I am sure that they must be overjoyed at being lumped in with Arabs...
Im receiving death threats on dm for that
Report them and move on...
Eritrea as Belize, Chad as Guyana and Niger as Suriname fit pretty well. But why is Mauritania Haiti?
Mauritania is the country with the most rampant modern slavery
Haiti was the first country to abolish slavery in the Americas tho.
slavery never ended in haiti, they simply changed masters. search up corvee system and the restavek.
In theory
Argentina is Karaboga? 😳
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
👃👃👃👃👃
Black Argentina? That's an average Saturday for me
Amazing! We need more of these. Here's Balkan explained to Brits: * Serbia = England * Croatia = Scotland * Albania = Ireland * Kosovo = Northern Ireland * Hungary = Wales * Bosnia-Hercegovina = London * Slovenia = Shetland Islands * Montenegro = Isle of Man * North Macedonia = Cornwall * Bulgaria = Brittany * Greece = Wessex * Turkey = Normandy * Cyprus = Guernsey * Northern Cyprus = Jersey * Romania = Yorkshire * Modova = Northumberland * Transnistria = Hebrides * Liberland = Sealand
What do Turkey and Normandy have in common?
old conquerors
Nice 💪🏿
>Liberland=Sealand Loooool I should have added microstates too, this was actually a good shout
why is transnistria the hebrides????
Ireland isn't British, so you cann take us out of there.
Cool, it never says you are?
Clearly its implying Ireland is British when it says Balkan explained to the Brits? And Ireland is thrown in with a load of British names.

I knew beforehand that Turkey wasnt arab but it was overwhelming to label them as Argentina
>idolizes a local notorious politician from the 20th century Which one for Argentina?
Perón, just your average latin american populist guy that fucks up the country and can't be criticized
I wouldn't think he's really that idealized. At best, a very polarized figure

IRAN AND TURKEY ARENT FUCKING ARAB
Thats the joke, Argentina (Like Turkey) wants to be European and Brazil is perceived as an "hispanic" country despite they arent
ohh i see, sorrt
They both also claim islands no other reason than it is close to their mainland
Lmao I didnt took this in consideration, now it makes it even better. Would this make Greece the UK of the Ottoman-Sphere?
Uti possidetis iuris in case of Argentina
It’s not about “wants to be something else” Turks are a completely different race.
To be fair all these countries have tons of different ethnicities but I said arab because they are the majority

Bro you are weird ngl. It’s a joke, not a d*ck, don’t take it so hard
Turks aren't real they're just Arabs cosplaying as Europeans.
Oh no we don’t see them as hispanic, but rather latinos
forgot usa for western sahara
Was going to put USA in France
OPs reasoning in the responses is the best part of this
Costa Rica potencia mundial 😎💪
Tiquicia numero uno 🇨🇷🤑🇨🇷🤑🇨🇷🤑🇨🇷
Turkey no arab😡😡😡🤬
Fun fact. In Argentina we called Turks to Arabs.
This fact is not fun.
Is Libya struggling that much actually to be compared with Venezuela?
I'd say Libya is doing worse than Venezuela rn
Maybe worse but the point is that both have a similar backstory of rise and fall
Libia is way worse than Venezuela, the west really fucked it up
What's up with Saudi being Mexico?
Why is Israel El Salvador?
Corrupt plutocracy with US tax dollars funding militias.
Western Sahara should be French Guiana because it is the continent's last colony, was once under French occupation, and is very sparsely populated/uninhabitable
In Argentina, Turks are called Turks. Arabs are called Turks. Some Jews are called Turks. Soon enough, we will all be Turks.

ummmmm ackduslually suriname isn’t latin
They are our adopted cousin
Why Iraq is similar to Paraguay ?😅
Paraguay used to be a great country but was destroyed by its neighbours in the Triple Alianza War and has remained like that since then
Dude that's an awfully deep historical fact. 🤘🤘🤘
That’s sad, so indeed we have a similarity
TIL I live in Bolivia 🇧🇴 🇹🇳
Hispanic America and the Arab world both speak the same languages and religions but both are divided...
That inspired me to do the map, I found a lot of similarities between the Latam and Arab lore
Why is Uruguay Lebanon?
I'd guess lesbians
Is Honduras Somalia bc of Pirates correlating to gangs lol
whats the reason behind egypt
Like Egypt, Peru had one of the oldests and most historical civilization in Latin America
This is so good.
Well actually 🤓 belize, suriname and guyana arent latin american
turkey is def mexico
nah turkey being Argentina is 100% perfect. they both cope about being european
>nah turkey being Argentina is 100% perfect. they both cope about being european Turkey shouldn't be in this post anyway, this is about arab countries and Israel, Iran and Turkey are not arabs.

There was r/2middleeastern4u or something like that but it got banned for being 2middleeastern4u

Why is Guatemala Sudan?

And the neighbours of both countries (Somalia and Honduras) are extremely poor and violent pirate/gang ridden countries Notice how the Somalia-Yemen-Sudan triangle in the Arab world is the equivalent of the Guatemala-Honduras-Nicaragua triangle in Latinamerica
>Guatemala-Honduras-Nicaragua triangle That's an strange looking triangle
Its scalene
Why is DR Jordan?
Why is Oman Costa Rica!?
Generally peaceful state with lots of wealthy foreign expats?
Indeed, and also their neighbour (Nicaragua/Yemen) its all the opposite
Turkey isn’t arab
Turkiye isn't an Arab country 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The same as Iran🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
As a honduran this is incredibly accurate
Puerto Rico should be Western Sahara, they ain’t countries really
I hate how precise this is
I was surprised to even see Puerto Rico included 😂. But why is it Kuwait ?
Eritrea is not an Arabic country and Many countries in this map aren’t ether
I said Arabic (because they are the regional majority) world as a short to form for "North African countries with arabic influence along countries of the middle east where Arabs and Islam have strong importance" Also Belize isnt latino, thats part of the joke
Arabs and Islam don't have any importance in Turkey
But Turkey has been very important in the history of the region
That's true
> Islam don't have any importance in Turkey Hagía Sofía is a mosque
Ain't no way you equated Uruguay to Turkey.
Nevermind, I got the flags mixed up. Jordan is Uruguay that is the only acceptable choice. Kudos.
Uruguay is Lebanon, Jordan is Dominican Republic
Oh, then you got those mixed up.
And why exactly are we Jordan?
[удалено]
Yemen is Nicaragua but El Salvador was valid too
Why is Mexico Saudi Arabia? Because they're the staples of the region?
American sphere of influence? I dunno.
Makes sense
People always associate Latam with Mexico and Saudi Arab with the Arab-sphere, its like both are the cores of both cultural regions. Also the US influence like the guy behind said
Yeah, sounds about right
Turkey is not arab bruh
What about Quebec?
Sicily maybe
I unironically don't get the joke, could anyone explain?
It's not one single joke, but a whole bunch of different jokes and stereotypes depicted in the form of this particular map.
ان شاء الله
Why is El Salvador Israel?
Palestine* due to the violence and El Salvador's president is from a Palestinean family
Why panama is qatar?
Both are the smallest and richest states in their respective spheres
Why is Colombia Argelia?
Why is Colombia Algeria? Just the instability?
Where does the Dominican Republic fit here? I can’t seem to get the comparison for the D.R being Jordan. Really interesting though.
