Doesn't illustrate the trope: Bulungi

The pic explains the trope's origins in The Onion, but doesn't really illustrate the trope. We need a good pic of a stereotypically Sub-Saharan African country. Any takers?

Well, it does show how the country is made up. See that bit sticking off of Africa that shouldn't actually be there?

I meant a pic that shows the actual country, not it on a map. I think its good enough to rank as Keep Until Better Image Suggested, but the pic for Ruritania, for example, perfectly illustrates what the trope is about.

I'm fine with it.

Yeah, I'd rather have an actual picture of what Bulungi is supposed to look like. Maybe a picture of Kijuju from Resident Evil 5.

Bump?

I don't see how the pic doesn't show the trope.

It shows where the name comes from, but not what a Bulungi actually is. Similar to Ruritania, I would expect a picture depicting a generic African country, not just an explanation of the joke.

It's a country that doesn't exist in real life, somewhere in Africa. How is the picture not showing that?

The main point of the trope isn't that it's made up, the trope is about generic sub-saharan African countries, similar to Ruritania and Qurac. Both of those have pictures illustrating what the trope is about, much better than a simple doctored map.

Well, no use arguing about it. I disagree with you.

Clock is set.

The image shows that Bulungi is a made-up country in Africa. That's pretty good. Know of better?

Sure, but does it show what the made up country in Africa is supposed to look like? No. That's my complaint.

I understand. Know of better?

Perhaps some shots or crops of these pics from Resident Evil 5?

I don't think any of those adequately convey the trope.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
