And the placement of those floating external portions doesn't seem to match up in direction, distance and scale. XD

Is that Paradise Kiss about... fashion? I remember seeing a LOT of fashio designs, at least the clothes they wear are so specifically designed.
Spunkyky, oh. Josei. That. XD I see... but what kind of manga is Josei?
I am more to Shounen Shoujou. Or to the other end is hentai. XD

Ohh, yeah they are. XD
I remember being SO surprised at how bleeding HUGE Alaska is when I finally saw a larger map with everything in proportion. I love Google Maps, it's so fun to spin around the globe and then use the streetside view to poke my nose in different locations.

Nope. Not at all. most people think Alaska is the size of Texas because of maps like that, and not the fact that it's about a third of the size of all the other states. The park I have an interview for is the size of West Virginia. Just the park.

Are you caught into the streetview camera? XD

Shoujo is for younger girls, and Josei is more mature, and covers a looooot of different styles. I've read a lot of 'slice of life' romances in the Josei category.

Yeah, Russia is the largest.
I was trying to think of the entire UK. Usually people just say England would fit into state x times.

They're usually detached because otherwise the map itself would have to be huge to include the amount of ocean between us and Hawaii, and provide unnecessary amounts of Canadian mappage to see Alaska. The gotta crop out the unnecessary stuff. Then because Hawaii is so small, they blow it up so people can identify the different islands.
But over time, that just causes assumptions and spacial ignorance. I prefer a GLOBE MAP for most school learning.

Most of Canada doesn't care, they see US as an overprotective sibling from what I gather. We have all the weapons and military power and if anyone touches Canada the US sees it as an attack on themselves.
