There are more than one originally Japanese designs on the right side, enough for me to wonder if the whole point is that the are in fact all Japanese.
#11 Fun fact: Those dogleg county lines are the result of the so-called Great Earthquake of 1909. So many things had moved so far that it would have been prohibitively expensive to change addresses of businesses and land ownership, so they just redrew the maps.
Western mechs has a japanese macross design in there. You can tell it's not a battletech warhammer (which is a whole copyright hullabaloo) from the markings
I grew up in the far eastern county, right in the middle. Other than the fact that Iowa's governor is a fundamentalist cunt who drives drunk, why is this cursed?
It's like Texas's county borders. Southeast to central all look meticulously drawn with regards to geographic and population concerns. After that point, they just threw their hands up and said, "fuck it." The rest are mostly squares and other quadrilaterals.
Because the straightness and similarity of it makes it look really organized, but the abnormalities within the lines are just enough to make it look chaotic. It's like looking at an optical illusion.
Without looking anything up; akimbo is spread wide; unkempt is poorly groomed; fulsome is angry and comes from fulgur, the Latin for lightning. Gonna go check how I did!

#31 Fun fact the mech in the bottom right was originally an anime design that was used by the creators of Battletech game in the US.
That aside, point taken.

#31 Ah yes, those silly Japanese mech designs with no sense of weight and using flimsy weapons that would never work in real life.

I wondered about that - I thought it might have been just creases in the paper they were laying it out on.

Also, fun fact! Syd Mead designed the Turn A Gundam seen in the Japanese Mecha side! :D (as well as six others for the same series!)

I believe that is the joke since Megas XLR which is decidedly western is in the japanese part.

I'm just absolutely shocked at how many counties there are. California has 58 counties and 10x the population vs Iowa's 99 counties.

I'm guessing it's cursed because the far eastern part of the cursed state you live in is also in middle of the...Klein Bottle that is also... a state?
nobodyy2
my assumption is that it's because of the one "too big" county in the north that looks like it should be split in two

and/or other spots where the eye wants the borders to line up / square up and they just don't

#38 is fucking stupid- "tenants" means people who are renting land or property. People are so fucking dumb.
LadyMalborough
They may have meant "tenets."

I've known college graduates who have screwed that up; there's no need to get snarky about it. Quick, what do 'akimbo', 'unkempt', and 'fulsome' mean?
GoblinTit
I bet you know college graduates that don't proofread their work as well - that's too bad.

Vaguely got the less common definition for akimbo almost? Not great. Got unkempt. Fulsome I was totally off! I incorrectly related it to fulminate.
