Polandball

The thread I linked has quite a lot of them.

Polandball Map of the World 2014!◊

If you zoom in it's a bit big but it's worth reading all the little bits.

Whose the big blue ball with the white dot in it to the right of Russia?

Sakha Republic.

Thanks!

Took me a little while to find England but he's down there in South America, cute.

That's the United Kingdom, man. England is right there on the British Isles, below Scotland.

I'm an American and I'm allowed to exercise my special American rights to get everything about foreign countries incorrect.

Plus the UK isn't England thing is still a little confusing to me anyway.

There are lots of balls that represent component parts of countries. It gets seriously confusing.

The UK is England plus Scotland plus Wales plus Northern Ireland. All four component home countries (that's the official term for them in the UK, incidentally) have clearly distinct cultures and native languages; you'd especially do well to not call a Scotsman or an (Northern) Irishman "English", as you'd never know if they're one of the... ardently nationalistic types. British is (probably) fine with all but the most ultranationalistic ones, though.

Who's the hypercube with the rainbow?

Jewish Autonomous Oblast. Makes sense.

Just noticed poor Palestine trapped inside Israel.

Why does the Central Asian suicide bomber's wire go all the way to South Korea's computer?

at Seychelles and French Guiana. :D

Who are...

• ...the eight-balls in central Africa?
• ...the angry bird northwest of China?
• ...the ooga booga balls, south of Australia?

Seven and Eight balls usually symbolise the natives in Polandball. The bird thing is a Russian Oblast that is associated with some creepy bird in a meme from the Russian internet.

Left one is the Australian Aboriginal flag, the other is the Maori Tino rangatiratanga flag.

South Korea's screen says "Starcraft" in hangul. XD

Why is Nepal chomping on India?

Maoist insurgency, I think.

Why is, (I think) Ethiopia shaped like a peanut?

Peanuts are one of their main exports.

Famine joke. He was originally a ball, but then he started suffering from starvation...

England runs out of Tea.

Sheep Shagger. Hehe.

Poor Ukraine can't into EU◊

/r/polandball is the place you want to be. It's got quality standards so not everything gets in – but, Sturgeon's Law being what it is, that's a very good thing.

It moves pretty quickly; sometimes 20 new comics are posted there in one day. I just got back from a vacation and now I'm working through a backlog of 250+ comics...
