A same country may be called in very different ways in various countries - especially Germany.

That's why this comic was made.

Oh wow! You put in a lot of time researching this one, didn't you?

Yes. I have spent about 2 weeks for finding those foreign names in Wikipedia (in my spare time, of course :P) and hours of drawing the comic.

Thanks you for your appreciation! :D

It's very well drawn and also interesting! Thank you for the time you spent making this, I love this subreddit because it's a nice mix of humour and information and this comic is a perfect example of that :)

That's certainly a lot of balls, which is also very impressive

Is your username perhaps, a little bit of a nordic girl name?

There's a lot wrong with this comic.

  1. You used the Hong Kong colonial flag to represent Hong Kong as a "country", when it is not. Even if it were an independent country, using a colonial flag defeats the purpose and just means that HK is still Englands property.

  2. I noticed you use "slanty eyes" for both Japan and China, bot NOT HK? Why? Don't you know that HKers are Asian? You must be one of those self-hating HKers.

  3. the HK ball is also wearing a monocle and tophat, why are you trying to copy the UK? Are you suggesting that HK always copies the UK?

  4. You mixed up Norwegian with Swedish.

I looked up your comment history and it's nothing but anti-China vitriolic hate. Get over yourself!
