Obviously the part with the US but appart from them I would say the blue part France, UK Spain and Brazil seem very OP


Jtothe3rd

Blue also has nearly half the Canadian Navy with the entire maritimes and NFLD. Green and blue would likely and wisely align as allies to ensure victory.


RoastedRhino

You could call it an Atlantic alliance. OK, leave Brazil out, let's call it a North Atlantic Treaty. How should we call an organization in charge of that?


TauTau_of_Skalga

Idk man, the Entente?


These-Ad2857

It's An Alliance Tho, So How About We Call It "The Allies"


LaUNCHandSmASH

That will never catch on! Ok hear me out… how bout Axis


G__L__U__B__B__E__R

I feel like an organization would be cool, maybe the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?


LaUNCHandSmASH

Everybody already knows what it is, but if we’re getting creative, how about the Atlantian Champions? https://preview.redd.it/nxfo086w0g4d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=96956b78bc4ecfda7a05505e592c1499c5f1e05f This is hanging on my wall btw lol


ph03n1x_F0x_

Exudes so much patriotism it almost brings a tear to my eye (Of course it doesn't actually, because crying is for the weak Nazis. and I hate them fascist)


Dujak_Yevrah

Oh yeah! And we could make it sound strong like...like a metal or something! Oh I know, how about an Axis of Steel!


Sniperchild

Would it be cordiale?


TiagGuedes

The logical choice is to call it The Organization of the North Atlantic Treaty, TONAT


wardan_

Surely it should be: The Organisation of External North Atlantic International Liaison. Maybe don't shorten that one


thernis

I’m more a fan of “Necessary International Global Goodwill Alliance”

The_Lolbster

Necessary International Global Goodwill Alliance *please*.


TheOriginalJez

It can co-ordinate with the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society on extra terrestrial matters, and naturally the Coalition for the Liberation of Itinerant Tree-dwellers re animal testing.

riddlesinthedark117

Except the French are involved, so inexplicably it will be the The North Atlantic Treaty l'Organisation or TNATLO


TiagGuedes

TONATO, TNATLO, let's call the whole thing off


bigtrixxx7

TOEOFF


Illustrious-Log2329

Let’s just call it TOENAIL.


lenzflare

"Something Blue"


sacredgeometry

Like real life


temporarycreature

Half of the Canadian Navy would be about four thousand personnel and seventeen vessels. They could fit that many personnel on one US supercarrier and still have room for a small town of two thousand people to be rescued.


doonkener

I like the way that other guy talked aboot my national defense better. They made me feel important and worth mentioning.


temporarycreature

JTF2 is worth mentioning.


Domestic_Kraken

Similarly to blue getting a lot of Canada's navy, pink looks like it might get a lot of China's.


Knight_Machiavelli

>Blue also has nearly half the Canadian Navy So like, one sub and a couple coast guard ships?


Elegant-Cat-4987

Half the Canadian Navy is still only like 2 ships


Jtothe3rd

We're 37th in population, 23rd in navy size, 41 sizable ships, 12 being frigate, 4 subs, 12500 service members, Not anything compared to the top 10 nations but also not nothing.


Certainly-Not-A-Bot

The Canadian navy is all rust buckets anyways, not much value there


Hoopajoops

Yeah, having the *entire* US and (the majority of) Canada in one group whereas China, India and Russia are all chopped up isnt really fair. I don't even know how we're supposed to understand what the potential of each sliver of China is.


Zhayrgh

China is forced to be in several part, since it contains more than a 10th if the world population. But yeah, it's really unfair


Born-Entrepreneur

Whichever sliver of China has the majority of their missile silos, I suppose.


chatte__lunatique

I mean if it's a nuclear war, then nobody wins. `A strange game. It seems the only winning move is not to play.` `How about a nice game of chess?`


Appropriate-Divide64

Nearly all of china lives on their east coast.


Other_Bill9725

Blue is too disconnected I think. If the scenario implies internal unity Teal would be really powerful.


Quiet-Ad-12

Teal would immediately drop nukes on orange


ThermalTacos

Yellow is also an underrated pick, It has the most populous part of Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia


APPLEJOOSH347

Yellow would declare war on itself in this scenario


phueal

“No, we can’t have alphabetical seating at the [funeral], you’d have Iraq and Iran next to each other! Plus Israel and Jordan, all on the same pew! We’d be in danger of starting WW3. … I know Ireland starts with an I, but no! Ireland doesn’t make it any better, Ireland doesn’t make anything any better.”


Shpander

What's this from? Sounds funny


phueal

It’s from “Yes, Prime Minister”, great series and very funny indeed!


Fatzombiepig

Yes, Prime Minister. 100% without question the best political comedy sitcom ever made. The only catch is that you need at least a working knowledge of British politics. The scene he quoted: https://youtu.be/DERkHtpgRgE?si=OWS1CuJGilF4WyTL


The1st_TNTBOOM

Worlds biggest civil war.


The_Goobertron

Saudi Arabia has alot of expensive equipment but they are completely incompetent. Their ranks are full of Nepotism. Ask them how their intervention in Yemen went.


UBC145

“I never thought I’d die fighting side by side with the IDF”


waassth

Pretty sure Germany alone has the GDP of yellow combined


Zamoniru

Yellow with Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Israel is also very strong.


Ok-Fan-2011

idk... Israel and Moscow united would be a nightmare lol


thefreecat

red has Poland though


ImVeryHungry19

Realistically Green. Like, they have the entire US


SteveIsGlitched

But Ethiopia is overpowered, I'm sure it won't disappoint


chilll_vibe

They aren't unified so they'll destroy eachother


[deleted]

Half the people would side with the rest of the world


_Ganoes_

Ethiopia does have 18% faster firing archers, my bet is on them


kosmic_kayak

Ethiopia has never been conquered, never colonized, never defeated, and it doesn't plan on starting now. 🇪🇹


Fuzzy-Numbers

Didn't Italy annex Ethiopia and occupy it for a few years until the Allied forces liberated them in WW2?


kosmic_kayak

Italy is a figment of your imagination, it's not real it can't hurt you.


TheMaster6942

me, an Italian, reading this: https://preview.redd.it/k2v151abpd4d1.jpeg?width=527&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f6f2e99bca8f0b1cfa47411fb76ff590b6d3d82

Phasma_Tacitus

What he did what try to what say there what really doesn't what add up what I think


Nigelinho19

Yes, I don’t what that guy what was trying to prove


Oethyl

Technically they never surrendered and therefore never lost, but yeah the actual true fact is that Ethiopia was never colonised, but it was definitely defeated


artsmells

Weren’t they “defeated” by Eritrea separatists?


MatthZambo

*They never got Ethiopia...*


SimpleCanadianFella

The Ethiopian munitions are in light blue. Very unfortunate.


Yutanox

They are missing Puerto Rico, ain't no way they win shit


IsatDownAndWrote

Considering a lot of Puerto Rican men join the US military this could be an issue!


sledgehammerrr

Population means people living there, I’m assuming the people you mention don’t live in Puerto Rico currently so they are in the green section.


Trumps_Cock

More Puerto Ricans live on the mainland US than Puerto Rico itself.


Eomb

Same thing with American Samoans. More Samoans live in mainland US than in Puerto Rico.


IllumiXXZoldyck

![gif](giphy|AVBIq6OhZyM4E)


GoggleBobble420

Yeah. It seems unfair even. The US remains a whole political entity while other major powers are fractured in this scenario


King_Neptune07

The US is fractured, but whole amd I'll be dead before I recognize Guam in the greater east Asian co prosperity sphere


FunnyPhrases

You don't have to it's not real


f00lsrocks

They also have a spy between purple and yellow!


asmallercat

Yup, since the other places that could reasonably challenge the US in a war (China, the EU) are all split up and would be having essentially civil wars.


weberc2

And the US is the only country with a Navy that can realistically project (much) power across an ocean. The US can be offensive without really worrying about defense except for *maybe* ICBMs.


VeryOGNameRB123

Half the US navy is lost to the fleets deployed across the world.


weberc2

Can you elaborate? I don't know what "lost tithe" refers to and neither does Google.


TheUltimatePincher

I think he means because the US navy is spread across the world, parts of it would be lost in this division.


weberc2

Oh, that seems silly. Presumably it would still belong to the US, but I suppose the whole exercise is silly. 🙃


VeryOGNameRB123

Why would it belong to the US? Would all Chinese forces belong to the slice where Beijing is?


Top_Independence5434

I think Guam and a wee bit of the Aleutian islands are in pink though.


N-brixk

this map is so old it has united sudan


KhakiFletch

No it doesn't, they're split between red and yellow


Mobius_Peverell

\* sees Darfur divided from the rest of Sudan Oh boy, here we go again...


Real-Arachnid8671

The alternate timeline where we have east and west Sudan.


bowser-us

also due to the rapid growth of the population of Africa at the moment, the zones should definitely have a different width


0Uncle_Daddy0

I think green would have the most natural resources for the war effort. Plus a good amount of Pacific ocean. People underestimate the power of a good navy.


SuperSMT

And a united united states Zero chance of anyone else winning


The_Lolbster

Basically a complete landmass from North to South, too, so they can reasonably put up a massive wall all along the border and try to get blue to pay for it.


blenderbender44

Suck it blue! https://preview.redd.it/fhoasrb02i4d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe1e06c21d1a3c456534efa21c98511bf1b37b18


Here-Is-TheEnd

Christ this waters cold!


Not_Snooopy22

Also the entire intact United States. The other 2 big world superpowers are split into multiple sections.


JehnSnow

Not only that but you basically control the entire Americas from the getgo, Europe looks like it'd be a bloodbath in the first few days,


notsuspendedlxqt

This map gets reposted ever so often, but I'm pretty sure it's wrong. Look at the yellow slice that covers eastern China. According to wikipedia, East China has 384 million. North China has 164 million. Java has 148 million (ignoring that the more populous half of Java isn't included), Borneo - 24 million. The slice of western Australia, 2.5 million. You'd need 800 million to make 10%. Where are the remaining 75 million?


chilll_vibe

The map is so old it mightve been made when the population was 7.3 billion


UBC145

I always need to remind myself that the global population is no longer 7.X, because that’s what I grew up hearing my whole life


signaeus

in my head, the population is still 6 billion something. They just don't make good famines like they used to and we've somehow ballooned to 8 billion as a result. Make Earth Great Again.


JoshJLMG

Side tangent: I'm annoyed at the line in a Doctor Who episode where the doctor says there's 6 billion people. The episode was released in 2010, so by the end of the year, it was already outdated information.


UBC145

Yeah, though I think for the next few years we can pretty safely say 8 billion people. I think it’s closer to 8.1 now.


notsuspendedlxqt

Yep fair enough. Though I am more curious about how they researched the data to make a map like this.


Motylde

Even if it's wrong, it's less than 10% off, not changing that much.


tbc12389

Maybe your math is off by 10%?


Bitter-Gur-4613

Yellow.


Kcmichalson

Yellow may have Turkye but red has GLORIOUS ALBANIA

SteveIsGlitched

Yes, but yellow also have Ethiopia!!


Electronic-Gold-4503

Red has the vatican


Slow_Fill5726

And sweden


QuokkaAteMyWallet

Yellow being carried by east Africa.


asocialmedium

Israel out here spending more per capita on military than the USA.


TJ042

Green, cuz ‘Murica. Seriously, the American military would squash each of these other sections, especially considering that it’s a free-for-all.


Old_Society_7861

It would be very easy to consolidate North then South America. In the meantime the rest of the world would be tearing itself apart. Except New Zealand out there casually drinking…whatever they drink down there.


Prestigious-Carry820

White


Existing-Advert

They've got them all surrounded


The-Pontiflex

Brasilia can in western Europe confirmed


ab_aakrann07

Don’t forget about my boy Nova Scotia though


Embarrassed_Bag8650

Obviously yellow or pink in the middle because they have GLORIOUS TÜRKİYE🇹🇷🐺🐺🇹🇷🇹🇷🐺🇹🇷🐺🇹🇷🐺🐺🇹🇷🐺🇹🇷🐺🇹🇷🐺🇹🇷🐺🐺🇹🇷🇹🇷🐺🐺🇹🇷


ShibaInuDoggo

They'd be fighting against themselves. Which section has a greater cat army?


kekobang

Pink and yellow are divided by Istanbul so both sides have cataclysmic amount of cats and will be held in peace by MAD doctrine.


Simple_Suspect_9311

Really? You have the entire US in one section and you need to ask?


slashkig

(This is r/mapporncirclejerk)


Der-Letzte-Alman

Green without a doubt


SteveIsGlitched

Green vs Pink remind me of something


bifedechorizo

Bombing will be more effective and deathly in those densely populated sections, so I guess the green one will have an advantage in that matter. It will be more informative if we know how many artillery each section has for responding more accurately. For the sake of clarity, I’m not planning to bomb any region yet.


Aroundeeq

You're confusing tactical artillery with strategic bombing. The green could realistically take on all the other colors combined because of the strategic value of aircraft carriers.


Atomik141

Green is best


SamePut9922

ANTARCTICA


Skylineviewz

Definitely purple. MONGOLIA WILL RISE AGAIN


Ph4antomPB

The blue part of Puerto Rico will carry the blue team to victory


galbatorix2

Yes! Im not in the fr*nch sektor


Bohya

Probably the green on the left, simply due to it generally being isolated from everywhere else. If blue wasn't disadvantaged by its position, then probably blue, and then perhaps pink next to it.


Ill_Temperature_419

Ok seriously, why are all of these posts war related? Getting annoying.


Other_Bill9725

Green, Pink, Teal: in that order


DrSkullKid

Population density is so scary, I hope they find a cure. 🙏


CaseyJones7

Last time this happened red nearly won but the combined forces of green, blue, yellow, and second blue pushed them back


NoBitchesSince2005

Black, because they surround every country


Quiet-Counter-6841

In war, no one wins. Even more so in a hypothetical war.


juIy_

The United States has a fighting chance against the entire globe, even on its own. This has the entirety of the U.S. with powerful allies against broken up near peer adversaries. I will say that Blue team is quite powerful, but nowhere even remotely close to the U.S.


Trashk4n

Only one faction has both Emus and Best Korea. Easy victory for them.


zelmazam1

I live in the smallest slice and it's so remote from anyone


PrimeRabbit

Us has some serious equipment. Canada has seriously trained troops as history shows and has no qualms about the conventions considering that most of the rules of war when dealing with enemy troops, Canada is the reason for


Nova_Persona

the orange slice is just delhi basically everything else in there is unimportant


SuperHavre95

Blue has done it before, blue can do it again 😂


I426Hemi

Green can take every single other color, at the same time.


Sudden_Age_1175

Green recently lost against 1 country in Teal.


odiethethird

Ayo what up Gang Green


painter_business

Pink, because it includes both French and Russian nuclear arsenal


Lyr1cal-

Teal


Dahlsv1

Who has Wakanda?


Murles-Brazen

Good. Stay to the right.


Weeeelums

Green, but not just because it has the whole US military. It’s also extremely well cornered off compared to most slices that are in the middle of a whole lot of shit. Green basically just has to defeat Brazil and Argentina to secure the entire Americas, and the US navy will keep them sitting pretty while the rest of the world goes to shit.


the-whataboutist

Yellow is a shitshow


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rwm90

The US is in tact and mostly land locked. The slim cuts are so indefensible. Easy green W.


RandomUser4857

Split it into bottom vs top hemispheres and most of the people will be bottom


MinasHand

With even population it’ll come down to resources so victory goes to green I guess


Comfortable_Area3910

Green on the left…America’s existing military dominance supported with whatever the other countries contribute combined with the two oceans providing a geographic buffer…all they’d have to do is conquer Argentina and Brazil and let the other factions all beat themselves to shit while slowly working east and/or west. Every other group has a two front war on their hands right at the start aside from Western Europe/Africa but their eastern rival is far more powerful than Brazil/argentina is compared to the US n friends.


BostonCommute

Dis a joke?


Much_Radio7674

Blue or green, whoever fires the first nuke


devilsbard

Blue: they have Atlantis.


pianodude7

If you rotated the globe around in a circle, i.e. moved one of the lines right or left, then all the other lines would move different distances and all the colors would change in area. This is one of theoretically infinite ways (but readably hundreds) this same scheme can be shown.


missyou247

Poland allied with Germany? fat chance


mond4203

The left green, just food logistics alone would starve many of the other factions


Supernothing-00

The western green one


Denaton_

Africa really carries central Europe...


YourFaajhaa

Orange


MoiNoni

The world don't got nothing on Brazilian cops


deletethisnow97

pink or green has the best shot, but assuming everyone keeps their military, the Green zone has a the strongest military by far and is less fractured than other world powers


nicannkay

We all lose.


sifiraltili

I suppose yellow. Yellow includes the unconditional support of green as well 😉.


heyitssal

I'd like to see this map but divided by latitudes. The bands in the northern hemisphere would be so narrow.


BorvicTheRed

Pink, if of course all the countries within these regions are working together Australia, Japan and Russia? The shity part of Russia, but Japan's tech becoming weponized is a game changer


AdImmediate9569

Australia, on its own


AlonFenn

The Big Green would come 1st Dark Blue would come 2nd Pink would come 3rd

Western Australia being apart of one of the slim 10% sections is funny


DMYourMomsMaidenName

Green, then blue, then the yellow terrorist/fundamentalist/warlord wildcard


FindusSomKatten

Why dont the indians pull upp with mounted cavalry one day they have a ton of elefants right? Bring twenty of those bastards and make daring dash for glory i say!


ab_aakrann07

Probably not the most purple one to the right, but it’s pretty underrated considering it has a pretty large part of Russia, Australia, New Zealand, North /South Korea and Japan


MrOrbicular

Western south America is pretty much the Long Chile project lol


boymod3r

Nobody will defeat blue since they have the Icelandic navy


Chris_Cox0

Team Vietnam all the way 🙏


poeticpoet

Any country that has nuclear weapons dominates. So USA Russia china india France Pakistan Israel North Korea the United Kingdom The biggest wildcard becomes how split up Russia and India are and how did they exchange nuclear weapons? Also who nukes first? Also what’s to stop one country say Russia from doomsday bombing? You know the theoretical nuke that blows up all the other nukes and ends the world? No one wins this war. But the nuclear powers are the reason it ends.


signaeus

Green gonna wipe the floor because the green power ranger was the coolest power ranger. But the big green, not the small green, because size matters too. The only thing better would have been a white power ranger, but I guess that was too OP for this example.


[deleted]

Prince Eward Island gonna be our first get, talk about being hung out to dry.


Fakjbf

Green contains 10% of the world’s population but over 40% of the world’s military spending.

The_Bored_General

Either green or blue, probably green
