A humorous Japanese perspective of America
June 12th, 2007 by Claytonian
Check out this bizarre map. The guy that is hosting it says,
In a pique of boredom this evening I scanned in and annotated the map that comes with Tengai Makyou: Daishi no Mokushiroku (The 4th Apocalypse). This is a Saturn RPG famed for its historical parody humor; the first three games take place in Japan, but the fourth is set in America.
This map is basically what would happen if you got a bunch of Japanese guys in a room, got them drunk, and then asked them to draw what they could remember about America on a bar napkin. Hell, that’s probably how this game was originally designed. Anyhow, I feel the map speaks for itself.

As a Canadian, it’s not that far off from what I would have come up with if I only had my memory to go by. Perhaps, Indianapolis would have been situated elsewhere and the border with Canada from the Midwest to the Pacific would have been straighter though.

Canada? I reckon there ain’t no Canada on that North American continent.

That’s actually pretty good. Most cities and states are located in the correct geographic region even though the outline shape is distorted. Most North Americans couldn’t name more than one Japanese locality, Tokyo, and most would have no idea whereabouts in Japan Tokyo is located.

Definitely agree. I would love to see Japan As Drawn By A Bunch of Drunk Americans. I bet it would be amazingly inaccurate, and probably highly offensive to boot.
