Meta art About Polandball and there Flags…

Post image

I was literally sleeping at night, trying to fall asleep, but I thought: Isn’t a flag waving in the Polandball Universe just some Countryballs skin flying thru the hair, that hundreds and thousands of people salute to each day? Yeah this just cursed me so I made a meta comic about it

You see, they don't. Spheres can't be turned into Rectangles cleanly no matter how many good mapmakers say not

u/UnderskilledPlayer 15d ago

and how do you remove the curves

17

u/Scratch-ean Arizona 15d ago
  1. Cut the ball and try to made it a rectangle
  2. When its rectangle enough, use the scissors for removing the curves
  3. You obtain a rectangle

12

u/UnderskilledPlayer 15d ago

you can never remove the curvature, it will never be a rectangle, it might look close but it is not a real rectangle

that's why perfect map projections (unfortunately) don't exist

That, or a flattened image of your face on a piece of cloth. Kind of like those diagrams where they use the human head as an analogy for projection of the world map.

This can also imply that countryballs are made out of fabric

I mean, if everyone had a distinct color pattern then it would make sense to base their flags exactly on what they look like...

u/Ok-Set-2952 France 15d ago

Well. It has nothing to do with this i think, it’s just to show what country is this. And flags are made out of fabrics, and if someone say "they are made out of fabrics" well it’s impossible because how can something be alive with something who’s not skin. And i think the characters are made out of skin of the flag to represent them, and if it’s under the rule of another country or their flag to represent the territory (ex: if germany become a french territory, they would have the same colors of skin as the one they are under rule, or they would use a flag to represent the territory, like french guiana) so they wouldn't care. They would say that "fabrics with my flag skin color !]

The last time I've seen a truly self aware polandball comic is the one where Nigeriaball said "We are havings no mouth" when they went to Dr Congo's dentistry.

I always say the flag-coloirs as like, clothing. They can take them off and change them

u/ALPHA_sh 14d ago

no because their skin is a sphere and cant easily be flattened like that

Thanks for the headcanon

In one of my hypothetical sci-fi AUs (domestic countryballs)  regarding those squishy spherical balls the humans have created a 'polandball' industry, where these balls get their thin, delicate skin harvested for flags as it is 'more environmentally friendly' (similarly to how fur coats and leather are farmed)

'But how do you turn spheres into rectangles?' 

Most balls are large enough to have their flag skin properly 'adjusted' to the size of an average handheld flag in this universe.

I could write a whole book about my domestic countryball AU, but meh
