Where in the World is your world?

[Enkidu of Abydos]

According to Einstein (and me) human stupidity is definitely infinite, therefore the place that contains all us infinitely stupid people must be infinite, but unfortunately I didn't have enough memory / processor power / screen space to draw an infinite image, so I settled on this symbolic elipse centered on the Earth (where the capitol of stupidity is) but stretching into the space beyond :



Somewhere off to the side, but definitely out of this world, is Utopia - the place we would all like to live at but just can't seem to reach...

P.S.
A clue to the clueless - to superimpose the image of one country on the image of another country in correct scale simply measure the number of pixels (using an image editing program) between two points on each image the distance of which is already known to you, then divide the number of km with the number of pixels (or vice versa) and you've got the scale for each image, then simply resize one image to fit the other in scale and voila.

A clue to those who, like me, haven't a clue as to what he said...
just estimate.
Look in Wiki to see the size of your country. It will often say "it's roughly the size of "XYZ" state, put your country on top of the US map, over XYZ state and scale down (or up) your country to match. If you're off by a couple of hundred miles, no one will ever know.

Born and native Norwegian, the longest (and skinniest) country in Europe. Streching 13,5 degrees in length and only 6.285 metres (abt 3,9 miles) across at Hellemobotn at the skinniest. Also known as "The land of the midnight sun" and where the Aurora is most active. (Tromsø, my hometown at 70deg north has over 300 Aurora days through the year). Our roads are known to be extremely long and extremely narrow.

I've also included Latvia, to where I've recently moved.

Stichawl; I may think that you've made Italy a little "shorter" than actual size. Italy should cover abt 10 degrees.

Edit:
Isn't it a way to inline attach images uploaded?

OK, I've followed Enkidu of Abydos's instructions to the letter, and have now included the UK:

Yes, I know... But I didn't want Beppe to get a swelled head.

Yes. If you've already uploaded an image to Photobucket or ImageShack, and it's small enough, just right click on the image, select 'view image' then copy the URL. One your message screen type [img]paste image location here[/img] and it should show your image. Maybe.

somehow I think there is something wrong with your dimensions. then again you are male, and very likely have a huge problem with the real measurement of 6 inches

(I only measure in 12 inch increments, silly )

Vietnam is tiny...

The Netherlands even smaller

[Rainmaker]

What happens if my country is bigger (wider, longer or both) than the EEUU?

PS: Argentina.

Put it underneath the ones that are smaller.

Wow, so I was born in Nothing, moved to Hicks and Gays and then to Cheese (somewhere in there I also worked in Canada), then moved to Rattlesnakes and Sand before moving to Here Be Bigfoot, only to move back to Rattlesnakes and Sand (but that move should rightfully be called Mormons... it spans a bigger area than shown on the map).

Now I live in Japan.

So basically what you're saying is (the short version) you moved up in the world by going to live with civilized people for a change ?

[GraceKrispy]

Sure, civilized!

*snort*

Maybe thinking of the wrong Japan....
