I live in the empty space in the first O. please help. I am surrounded

With an apostrophical enclave that will amuse future legislators for decades to come ...

The border is sponsored by....

a fucken free riders 3 reference??

How absurd. There's no way you could get TWO city councils to BOTH agree on a font.

Oh gods, I thought that was a road at first, and I felt terrible for the purely imaginary drivers.

That's the Big Border Wall lobby in action

Imagine the sponsorship opportunities if the Holy Roman Empire had just kept on going.

Took me a while to realize the unconnected lines in letters like "O" really are doable!

Free State Apostrophe

I find myself wondering about the jurisdiction of the spaces within the O's, A's, P's,R's, H's, W's, and M's. Wars have been fought over less silly things after all.🙂

i would but i think you’re already taking up all the space

There is a city with even more intricated borders en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle-...

Brb, planning how to buy a lot with an infinitely-long property line

The Finnish-Swedish border on Märket came to my mind, though it has an entirely rational explanation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4...

Too late. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugly_Ge...

Yeah my room is inside the upper R enclave, but my roommate's is outside. The passport officer in the hallway is inconvenient, but she's actually been a really good addition to our dnd campaign

also known as Schengen shenanigans

Honestly, with how much county lines have been changing, the least they could do is make it look pretty or say something 🙄

Real. That dude has all these easements that keep getting challenged. One day he'll lose access to his own driveway

Now just imagine all the "Now Entering _______" or "Welcome to _______" signs when the local highway department gets bored and builds a road running through all the letters

And when legislators get *really* bored… each letter gets its own time zone 🙄

All of my coworkers loved this one. It's now on my office door.

Should have been 2 lines, so both sides of the border had some land in the letters.....
