Wrong, there's 3 continents and 18 countries. The Main TES continents, Yokuda and their 4 countries. Akivir with their four countries and the sload islands called Thres.
There are way more than 9 countries. Those iconic divisions are just the rough provinces of a continent spamming empire. Cyrodiil is actually two different nations historically, Black Marsh and High Rock are both composed of hundreds of different kingdoms and tribes each, etc.
Statistically, your country is likely a third world shit hole. The greatest countries are typically the smaller ones, with the States being one of the few (if only) exceptions.

It's not polite to say but people also feel this way because nothing happens in Black Africa. Even the better developed countries like Nigeria and Kenya are still doing subsistence agriculture. The most geopolitically consequential things are American, French, and Russian special forces gayoping/couping each other and the Chinese contracting with locals for resource extraction or debt-for-infrastructure. It's a low level PvP zone for real players.
This isn't exactly me saying "haha Black folk suck lol". I mean they do but I don't mean to kick them while they're down. The thing is that people know big countries are big not because of their geographic size but because it matters to them. Closer (temporally, spatially, culturally) and more active things seem more relevant (and thus bigger) than distant, less active things.
I know you're being sarcastic like it's a huge revelation but yeah. The foreign aid is a prime example of charity making things worse and the musical chairs spec ops coup cycle is a waste of fricking time that confers no real political advantage on America+France or Russia. Leaving the Black folk the frick alone and not feeding them or encouraging them to leave would not just help us it would probably help them in the long term.
Geopolitical struggles are eternal though so it's something of a pipe dream. At least we should make France trash Francafrique and also shift to a model more like what China does there where we just build shit there with our own workers and make the locals pay the debt off in resources. Seems to work better for everyone.
>muh aid that wouldnt be needed if US and USSR didnt treat the continent as a proxy battlefield >after colonization forced a bunch of ethnic groups into made up borders
dont look up who profits most from natural resources in africa btw
>What makes you think they would have industrial farming if the US and USSR didn't exist?
dont be disingenuous not every country in is full of nomad tribes. its wouldnt be peaceful but parts of the continent wouldnt be as unstable if not for the ripples of the cold war still going through it even today >That's every fricking country ever.
i dont believe that you believe that. post colonization africa is the equivalent of if the US sending a bunch of native tribes who have a history of warring with each other to the same reservation, and asking why they fight all the time (while also favoring one tribe over the other).
>It's not polite to say but people also feel this way because nothing happens in Black Africa.
Black Africa has the most ridiculous contemporary history. Nothing *consequential* happens in Black Africa, but shit happens there all the time and it is both hilarious and glorious.
>europeans went there with pre-industrial revolution technology and literally strip mined 99.9% of the resources and left nothing for black people except mosquitoes and dirt
whitey-sama, i kneel
95% of norway, sweden, and finland are completely uninhabitable, then the rest of europe has jammed 1 million africans per square km. sounds like you are coping
Implying you homosexual Canadians are literally any different from Americans. Literally same exact shit but desperately looking for anything to delude yourself into believing you’re better
First off there are four on that map.
Secondly, that map is just active Amtrak routes, AKA federally-protected interstate commuter rail which connects between local public transit.
This is a map of my city's (Philadelphia, PA) public transit rail lines (it's stylized to compact everything down).
There are rail lines everywhere, and his transit authority spans even to routes just outside the state, such as Trenton, NJ, Camden, NJ, and Wilmington, DE.
Public transit is NOT a federally operated service, aside from Amtrak. Each location has their own service.
You'll note on the map that SEPTA only provides service in southeastern Pennsylvania.
For service into New Jersey, they connect to NJ Transit. For service further away (New York, Baltimore, DC, etc.), they say you can take Amtrak to those locations.
As this only covers southeastern PA, just to get to Pittsburgh, PA, you have to take Amtrak.
Amtrak owns rights of way on many rail lines, but only operates whose which it deems necessary.
If you find a map of all commercial rail lines, it is way larger than the Amtrak map.

I've found an additional half a dozen or so just by scrolling around on google maps, just check a map my guy.
They originally wanted the train to go through George Washington's mouth and out of an immaculately sculpted butthole on the other side of the mountain, but they ran out of money.
it takes 3 days to drive across the US unless you go str5aight without stopping to sleep or rest or use the bathroom
do you really want to walk a map that big?
American fantasy authors have a really weird idea of scale when it comes to worldbuilding. They don't seem capable of grasping that the US is really, really big -- like, twice the size of the roman empire at its peak big -- and keep on trying to have fantasy countries multiple USAs in size with a singular culture and language dominating the entire thing, and without any of the communication and logistical issues such a frickhuge country would naturally face with medieval tech.
most of europe is pretty beautiful but in a "this place is so old and it's still here, look at all the history" kind of way rather than a "look at those huge mountain peaks in the distance and wild animals running free and untamed nature everywhere" kind of way
America the frickin beautiful. I pity Eurocucks that don't have a land half as beautiful.
europe is frickin gorgeous you 2 are frickin high. Germany has wildly different scenery from italy which is wildly different from switzerland. They've got both history and absolutely gorgeous vistas.
it is funny how many europeans will just go out to some place like death valley and be like >holy shit, look at all the nothing going straight into the horizon, this is fricking amazing
imagine nuking all of that
Entire elder scrolls would fit in a dot if you made one with a pen on that map of english territory.
is that canon miles or ingame miles?
Its based on daggerfall's ingame scale, which is lore accurate
ah ok, thanks anon
But then OP's image still doesn't make sense
daggerfall's ingame scale isnt lore accurate
anon are you moronic?
does it take 9 real life days to walk across cyrodil in oblivion?
yes?
this always irked me. Tes world is so fricking small, literally consists of 9 "countries".
It's one continent if you wanna get anal about it
Wrong, there's 3 continents and 18 countries. The Main TES continents, Yokuda and their 4 countries. Akivir with their four countries and the sload islands called Thres.
though Yokuda and maybe Thres have been swallowed up by the ocean.
You missed Atmora and Pyandonea which makes 5 continents at least
There are way more than 9 countries. Those iconic divisions are just the rough provinces of a continent spamming empire. Cyrodiil is actually two different nations historically, Black Marsh and High Rock are both composed of hundreds of different kingdoms and tribes each, etc.
places that have never even been confirmed to exist by bethesda and has no worldbuilding at all lmao
It's more like the US is unnecessarily big.
the USA is huge
smaller than my country

oh, ho ho ho
Isn't the Illiac Bay alone supposed to be the size of Great Britain? I'm calling bullshit on this image.
There is no way its even that big I highly doubt it. Its probably the size of one state and that is it at most.
Daggerfall lacks detail though. Its definitely getting retconned if they ever do another Daggerfall game.
That´s pretty big once you remember there are no cars, trains or ariplanes.
>He doesn't know
>small country is worse than big fat blaoted country
i hate amerilards so gaddamn much
Cope.
If your country is small it just means that you weren't strong enough to conquer all your neighbors.
Its best if the country is small honestly. The bigger ones run into management issues and end up rife with corruption.
Lol skyrim is maybe 20km from west to east. The capital has literally only 50 inhabits
Only 50 people in habits?
Read the thread silly

what changes do they made in the sequel?
They nerfed trains and added Smell-O-Vision
man, all that landmass and nothing to show for it
Most of it is desert wasteland.
Only about a third is.
Funny the desert wasteland is the only historically successful part
The northerners did some shit
But they're not really what you think of when you hear "Africa"
They've got some cool wildlife, I guess.

hold up, you saying africa is a waste of time and money?
that we should just leave them alone?

Every country is a proxy battlefield for larger powers. Why should it be any different for Africa?
I can't believe he keeps getting away with it!
>It's not polite to say but people also feel this way because nothing happens in Black Africa.
Black Africa has the most ridiculous contemporary history. Nothing *consequential* happens in Black Africa, but shit happens there all the time and it is both hilarious and glorious.
>Black Africa
It's "Afroamerican Africa", you racist!
TRVE
>mwf a whole continent is bigger than some countries
my when face
most of it's unlivable desert
>europeans went there with pre-industrial revolution technology and literally strip mined 99.9% of the resources and left nothing for black people except mosquitoes and dirt
whitey-sama, i kneel
EUrangutuans don't understand how big the US is.
Yall are pipsqeeks compared to Canada, look at all them lakes! When will you southern canadians learn?
lakes don't mean shit when your entire province is forced to evacuate from wildfires
the majority of the country lives close to the united states
>whitehorse
>yellowknife
those are some generic fantasy rpg town names
They're anglicized native american names
Wait until you see Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat
the majority is uninhabitable as well, it's not that big of a flex
You're just another US state.
Now remove all of the filler states and empty space.
aws if a state being a "filler state" or "emtpy" negates the need to travel through it
where do you think we grow all our food and mine for all our materials
the "filler" is important
America still fricking massive when you lop off israelite york and commiefornia buddy
95% of norway, sweden, and finland are completely uninhabitable, then the rest of europe has jammed 1 million africans per square km. sounds like you are coping
Most people don't realize how fricking big this planet really is. And that's not taking into account the hollow earth areas.
do NOT speak about the inner earth
do NOT think about the inner earth
the inner earth does NOT exist
STOP TALKING ABOUT IT
But it's badass.
How do other countries even compete?
Im pretty sure Jupiter is not that big, ive seen it in the sky before
No that map is accurate, it just seems smaller in the sky cause it's far away.
Ahhh okay, bet
By having less Black folk
op is right, in a way.
Are there really only two train connections between Canada and the US?
Those are passenger lines. The cargo rail network is much larger (densest in the world iirc) but those tracks aren't licensed for passenger traffic
We're trying to make it less but the Amerilards won't let us.

Where would you put more?
>goes completly around south dakota
what did they do
They originally wanted the train to go through George Washington's mouth and out of an immaculately sculpted butthole on the other side of the mountain, but they ran out of money.
Chicago is like the country's train station.
damn, trains really is hard job.
it takes 3 days to drive across the US unless you go str5aight without stopping to sleep or rest or use the bathroom
do you really want to walk a map that big?
and according to google maps even if you didnt stop it would still take just a little under 2 days to drive across the US
it takes like 10 minutes to run across skyrim
according to this old thread
30 minutes
>but I didn't use sprint at all, just walked
do you even read your own posts?
no lol
and I'm not trying to disagree with you, if it takes 10 minutes, it takes 10 minutes.
>walked and fought off bandits and bears
>didn't go in a straight line
It also takes a month to run across the entire illiac bay in TES 2.
as in a real life month?
Yes
no wonder people tell you to fast travel that game
Skyrim's total area is about 15 square miles, it could comfortably fit inside most real cities.
Isn't that basically the size of western europe tho?
The US is pretty big, so I wouldn't call that TES map small by any means.
Man, the US is such a based looking country. So based and redpilled.
For me, it's that sexy coastline curve that runs from Florida to South Carolina
I vaguely remember reading in thread on /tgesg/ that the continent was between 6-12 million kilometres square.
I think this is more "the US is so much bigger than euros realize it is comical and Russia is significantly bigger too"
the bethesda maps are a lot smaller than that
American fantasy authors have a really weird idea of scale when it comes to worldbuilding. They don't seem capable of grasping that the US is really, really big -- like, twice the size of the roman empire at its peak big -- and keep on trying to have fantasy countries multiple USAs in size with a singular culture and language dominating the entire thing, and without any of the communication and logistical issues such a frickhuge country would naturally face with medieval tech.

Are you even old enough to be posting here, or just barely of age kiddo. Use your fricking head before you try posting again.
Now flip the map.
Lorkhan was not a big guy
soul
>You can run from north to south Daktota in 5 minutes
Never knew the US is that small.
As long as you're within 5 minute of the border, yes you can indeed do that.
