That map is bugging the fcuk out of me. Its missing the Teddy bears head

Is this from the The Mercator Map? If not it’s not the correct size..
This is very Reebok
This is obviously bullshit because you see Ireland has 32 counties whereas America has 50 states so therefore according to mathS, Ireland is at least 64% the land mass of the United States.
You can’t argue with that.
Ireland is usually located in the North Atlantic beside Great Britain but your map has it incorrectly placed in the Canadian province of Alberta. Quite the blunder.
The proportions on this map are way off, making Ireland appear much larger than it actually is…
A lot of people are going to be upset with you OP that you used a 26 county map. I know your logical response is going to be “I don’t control the borders and graphics on the website you used” but it won’t matter.
It’s cool and all but there’s no way ireland is half the size of texas, you’ll have people that have no interest in geography thinking irelands fairly big.
Like how it’s tagged as US-Irish Relations yet Ireland is placed in Canada
You better delete this before this comment section turns very angry
I’m from Ireland I know the layout of the countries
If this is true the US is a lot smaller than I thought.
Gotta get that ‘Berta beef!
Same size and population as Iowa. Des Moines = Dublin. Cedar Rapids = Cork.
Your missing six countys
This isn’t really a great representation, once you drag Ireland down into the US it gets smaller… True size and latitude of Ireland vs Canada (-ish area)
And the point of this post is?
The Phoenix area nearly fills the midlands.
Ireland has a land area of 84,000 Square km.
Wyoming has a land area of 253,000 Square km, just to give a better idea of actual size difference.
You are missing the teddy bear head
I vote to move us closer to LA’s latitude.
I flew direct from Dublin to San Francisco before and one thing that I’ll always remember was the true scale of America when you’re flying over it. I just remember flying for hours & hours over the same landmass wondering when the hell would we ever arrive.
It took me a shamefully long time to find Ireland on this
That’s why it’s funny to have a ski/winterwear firm called 53 Degrees North, because that’s also where Lahinch is.
I think you made a mistake, the UK left Europe not Ireland.
Missed a bit.
Where the fuck is the North?
I live in Alberta. A Irish doctor once told me that Ireland would fit into Alberta 9 times. He was also quite nervous the first time he drove between Edmonton and Calgary as there was a lack of villages every few kilometers. We think nothing of driving 1000+ kilometers in a day in Canada.
300 kilometers from Calgary to Edmonton.
The OP is just posting this in every European country’s sub to collect karma 🙄
It’s nuts for how small Ireland is how diverse the accents are. They literally change every 15 minutes in a car
When I was younger I was convinced our counties were akin to US states in size, and assumed Ireland was only marginally smaller than the US.

Did the north fall into the Atlantic?
