That's an interesting graphic. The border between Canada and the United States looks pretty weird, actually. You can make out New England, but it's a lot harder to make out the Great Lakes region. Then you've got the western half of the border, which in real life is a ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMkYlIA7mgw mostly]) straight line along the 49th parallel, but in this graphic is anything but. Interestingly, this graphic also includes Central America, and excludes Alaska. On a side note, what did the description for Africa say? Because this graphic seems to imply that it's a single entity, but as far as we know, the [[East African Protectorate]] is its own entity within the [[Unified Earth Government]]. We've also never heard of any sort of united South American political entity. Overall, I'd say this graphic deserves a note or a mention in the trivia section of the URNA page, but I don't think it's enough for us to remove Canada from the list and add the countries of Latin America.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 00:14, 17 June 2013 (EDT)

::Yes, the Canada/USA border is unusual. Interesting that Madagascar wasn't included in Africa.[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 06:38, 17 June 2013 (EDT)
