      I really want to know the backstory on the „Agony and Affliction“ one.

      There’s no region named valley of the terrorists? Plains of the child brides? Desert of the cousin fuckers? Bay of homophobes? Land of Sharia?

      If you’re a heavy metal fan, some of these are great names for songs/albums/bands.

      i think baghdad is „gift of god“ since „bagh“ means god and not gods

      “Point Lookout”

      I see a lot of Marylanders live in coastal Iraq.

      What’s the translation on Halabja?

      If I click on the map to zoom in, it appears with a black background on my phone, so I can’t see the words that run past the edge of the country.

      Hide this map from the orange man. When he sees that northeastern governate, that will be the start of the next invasion to make it the 51th state.

      I want India to do their names too.

      *Big country

      *One hundred thousand Islands

      *House of Clouds

      *New Slum 

      *Northern portion

      *Land of snow

      *Land of sun

      The meaning for Baghdad is disputed, no one actually knows the original etymology

      It isn’t any dumber than how US states get their names. Why, we have a state named after a fictional island from a Spanish fairy tale. We have another meaning “scarlet,” another meaning “flowers,” another meaning “air, water and spirit,” another meaning “land of the Indians,” another meaning “big river,” another meaning “mountain,” another meaning “snowy,” two meaning “friend,” another meaning “woods” and another meaning “no state here.”

      Pretty surprised that „Four Gods“ managed to survive until today. Maybe it’s an ancient word and the actual meaning is no longer clear.

      Are we sure that The Land of Asphalt is a correct translation? “Asphalt” seems a bit sus as it is such a modern invention.
