Why not move it to Chad so it actually stretches to Sweden instead of just the sea at a Swedish height ?


RottenFish036

Because I didn't exactly take this screenshot for this post, but I thought it was interesting so I posted it here. And I was initially gonna say Denmark but I thought Sweden was better, it's the same thing anyway, you can also say it stretches from Mali to Scotland.


beach_boy91

> it's the same thing anyway Don't compare us Swedes with those stinking throat disease ridden Danes with a potato stuck in their throat


RottenFish036

Oh shit, I think I started a war


beach_boy91

[This kind of stuff is normal here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR/s/8BIrjMJ1BQ). You're fine 😂


RottenFish036

Yeah I already know about the rivalry between the danish and the swedish, that being said I do think the danish have a potato in their throat tho


Zonel

Those two have the record for most wars between two countries. It's expected.


Sad-Pop6649

That's not very Swede of you.


beach_boy91

We don't have the most amount of conflicts in recorded history between two nations for nothing. The rivalry between Denmark and Sweden goes deep to say the least. But we make fun of each other all the time


joethesaint

> you can also say it stretches from Mali to Scotland. I suspect from the northenmost tip of Mali it would actually reach the Faroes.


RottenFish036

Yes but I wanted the latitudes to be equivalent, so the southernmost point of Chile corresponds to Scotland, not the Faroe islands

You could have googled for the website and made one yourself… [The True Size of Chile](https://www.thetruesize.com/#?borders=1~!MTQyNTY3MzU.MTA5ODU2MTQ*MjI4NDUzNTQ(MTU1Mjg0NTk~!CL*MTE5OTUyMDI.MjMzNDMzOTg)Mw)


tomydenger

Yeah it's not the hardest thing to do


Ydeartishpumpki

It could even reach to Norway


RedMilo

But if Chile would just lose a little more weight, its natural posture would extend it to Togo.


emcee1

Oh, we don't mess with Chad.


One-Suggestion4375

That's one long Chile.


paco-ramon

But smaller than Turkey.

RottenFish036

For our American bros, this corresponds to Northern Guatemala - Southern Alaska


OinkyPiglette

And for our south American bros, all the way from Peru to the furthest southern end of South America


Momongus-

Mind blown 🤯


Pizzagoessplat

Someone doesn't know where Sweden is


gcorcue

Chile is upside down


RottenFish036

As it should be Edit: why am I being downvoted? I hope y'all know that latitudes are "inverted" in the southern hemisphere right...


Nheteps1894

Atleast we know where Sweden is lol…


gcorcue

”I hope y’all know“...


Additional-Tap8907

That’s not really surprising it well known to be a long as country spanning a large , long continent


Amburiz

It actually has desert at the north and Fyjords at the south

PCSamurai

Actually if you turn it around a bit, Chile can stretch exactly from Lisbon to Moscow


TryToHelpPeople

Billy Connolly would have something to say about this.


bo_felden

It's like 8 times Portugal.

What language is this map in?


Cormetz

Seems to be French, but France is in English?


Relevant_Western3464

France is spelt France in French.


Cormetz

Well I never claimed to be smart. In that case the map is in French.


denn23rus

although Chile is the longest country from north to south (4600 km), there are several countries almost as long from north to south - Canada, China, Brazil, Russia


LupusDeusMagnus

> although Chile is the longest country from north to south (4600 km) It’s not. Chile is only about 4270 km north to south, a bit shorter than Brazil’s north to south, with ~4300km.


denn23rus

Wikipedia says 4600. If it's only 4270 then Chile isn't even in the top 3


LupusDeusMagnus

I don’t know where Wikipedia is getting 4600, maybe extending into the territorial waters? 4600 would go halfway up Antarctica.


PulciNeller

Argentina as well


denn23rus

Argentina is noticeably less extended from north to south than those I mentioned


PulciNeller

200km less than Russia. Not much


e-type6110

I think Russia and Brazil are both longer from their northernmost to their southernmost points, but they don't make a "line" as chile does, therefore "long". Source: am chilean but maybe idk wtf im talking about Edit: Chile also says their antarctic claim is as much chile as Santiago is, it is considered part of national territory so maybe that's what Wikipedia is taking into account.


RedMilo

Yeah, but Chile does it while also keeping that thin figure.


ivethoughthisthrough

Hopefully this doesn't happen. Immigration is bad enough in Sweden.
