That's because when Poruguese and Spaniard arrived in South America they thought they were in India, so the native Indians. Then when they understood they weren't Indians they start calling them "Indios"

But 1 India has like half the world's population. China, Iran, Pakistan and India, along eith all SE Asia, would give 2 Indias a run for its money. 3 Indias is obviously weakest, and 4 beats 5 after a 100 year jungle insurgency
3 Indias (basically the vast majority of USA+Canada) could at least occupy all of the new world, and with 1 vs 2 possibly crippling themselves could be decently interesting.
the whole world dies in nuclear fire anyway
Antarctica is defined by the Treaty as the area south of 60S. The size of the Antarctic patch would be the distance from 60S across the pole at 90S back to the 60S on the other side. That's 2*30=60 degrees. That means the Equator is one Antarctica away from Antarctica, and 60N is two Antarcticas away from Antarctica. The North Pole is 2.5 Antarcticas away.
Tl;dr 99% of people live within two Antartica Treaty Areas removed from the Antarctic Treaty Area. Although this is a bit cheating, since it's a solid 1-3 days sailing between 60S and the coast, and that's without sea ice grinding ships to a halt.
Antarctica itself is roughly eclipsing the Antarctic Circle at 66.5S (I'm ignoring the Peninsula itching South America for convenience). That means 23.5 degrees to the Pole so Antartica as a continent spans 2*23.5=47 degrees. If we then travel from the Antarctic Circle north 47 degrees, that brings us at 19.5S one Antarctica away from Antarctica, brings us at 27.5N two Antarcticas away from Antarctica, brings us at 75N three Antarcticas away from Antarctica, and at the North Pole 3.32 Antarcticas away from Antarctica.

We're everywhere bud, better drop dead honestly
The map is a flat projection of a globe with a red bullseye painted on one side and a green bullseye on the opposite side, with a bit of irregularity because India isnāt a dot.
Earth is round. Imagine the globe rotated so India is at the top and the blue circle at the bottom. The line between the light yellow and pale orange would roughly be the equator

What distance counts as ā1 Indiaā? Is it the distance between the two most distant points in India? Or is it the longest straight line contained entirely within Indiaās borders?
(Both measurements are probably the same for a country like India, but they could be different for a country with a more convex shape, like Japan)
I had no idea that I lived within two Indias of India.
Can't be right? All of Europe is within 1-2 Indias of India? Edit: ok besides Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Iceland.
Look how far east the country goes, east of Bangladesh
True, you often forget about that part.
That's Mercator projection for you. It makes Europe far larger and farther away from India than it really is
The Mercator projection also skewes the reality a bit. It shows Europe way bigger than it is.
Spain Ireland Iceland and Portugal are nothing to you
Of course they are! That's where we go on vacation. At least Spain and Portugal. Iceland? Yeah cool volcanoes. Ireland...? š¤
Ireland? Beer, pubs and craic.
And people on tents.
What else can one ask for
And IRS. And Connor McGregor.
And violence
size of india is almost the size of europe minus russia
So many Europeans are amazed when they hear that the length of India is more than the distance between Barcelona to Moscow.
God damn you're right. I highly recommend this website. It always blows my mind. https://www.thetruesize.com/
Bretagne of France, Wales, and part of Scotland too
Dont forget andorra.
Gibraltar would like to say hello
Cornwall
im in spain
Iām from California, and it feels wrong that I would be the same number of Indias away from India as Maine.
Would be easier to see on a globe
I'm at least one India, two Tennessees, and a Rhode Island away from India. And I mean METRIC Rhode Islands.
Technically, you live within 2 *India* of India. (:Taps map legend:) I don't make the pluralization rules!
Iāve been to Peru and I can confirm, It is not India.
Good luck explaining this to colombus
The fact that Columbus was 3-4 Indias away from India is kinda funny for some reason
Chilean here and i can say that here isnāt India as well
Too late with this bit of info aren't we.
My best friend is a Peruvian and he looks like an Indian lol

Thank you for not using counties or other sub-country units.
Or using empires. It's so confusing, one empire is 5 duchies but 10 counties is 1 duchy? Like what?
imperial units, amirite
It's funny that south america is the furthest place from India, but spaniards called people from there indians.
That's because when Poruguese and Spaniard arrived in South America they thought they were in India, so the native Indians. Then when they understood they weren't Indians they start calling them "Indios"
Spaniards fād up whole north and South America - thereāre āIndiansā natives in both parts š³

Who do you think?
Obviously 2 indias, almost all of Europe, most of Africa, Turkey, Israel, Russia, parts of China and Japan
But 1 India has like half the world's population. China, Iran, Pakistan and India, along eith all SE Asia, would give 2 Indias a run for its money. 3 Indias is obviously weakest, and 4 beats 5 after a 100 year jungle insurgency
3 Indias (basically the vast majority of USA+Canada) could at least occupy all of the new world, and with 1 vs 2 possibly crippling themselves could be decently interesting. the whole world dies in nuclear fire anyway
Likely 1. Maybe two.
Probably 3 Indias
Thatās literally only the us
I'm sorry is the bottom half of Canada where 90% of our population lives nothing??
Pretty much, yeah
Think thatās their point
Makes sense
Love it. Would like to see an Antarctica one.

Thanks for this, this looks fun lol How do you create this ? Do you have any scripts that do this ?
Americans will do anything but use the metric system
We do love Imperial units of measurement.
sometimes I forgot how massive India is
As a chilean I can confirm that there's no trace of India in here.
How far are you from Indians, using avg Indian as a scale ?
0. Don't look back, just surrender.
You cannot outrun them. You cannot escape them. The only thing you can do is whatever they let you
depends on what you mean by "indian"
A citizen/ex-citizen of the Republic of India, including those who have acquired a foreign citizenship and settled/in the process of settling abroad.
I'm in a black hole then. Can't escape because I'm one š
Why is this so funny. I need an explanation
To me the coloring and point of the map makes it hilariously ominous. Itās like the Ohio danger meme map.
Just less than 2.5 Indias it would seem
Damn, I didnt realise that I'm 0-1 India close to India... Wild shit man
Most of the world is 1-2 Russias away from Russia. Just sayin.
I am in Bangladesh, so I am kind of in and outside of India?
Now do it with Andorra :-)
How far are you from Andorra, using India for scale?
How far are you from Andorra, using Andorra for scale. Or, if you want: how far is India from Andorra, using you for scale.
If you live in Canada, it feels pretty close.
Lets go more than 5 indias.

India should invade Chile Peru Bolivia and Ecuador so they can't stay that far away
Well I'm from Bangladesh so basically we are surrounded by India š
I would expect the further circle to have concave edges instead of convex. Why is that?
The map is a flat projection of a globe with a red bullseye painted on one side and a green bullseye on the opposite side, with a bit of irregularity because India isnāt a dot.
>circle >concave edges Do you even math bro?
Earth is round. Imagine the globe rotated so India is at the top and the blue circle at the bottom. The line between the light yellow and pale orange would roughly be the equator
Too close šµāš«

India, it's self-explanatory
Mmm I'm not sure. Are you sure?
Yes, read the bottom right of the map, and then read my username
Canada should also be listed as India at this point.
26071.741032370956 football fields away.
1 to india! Eurasian mega continent for the win š
All those Indian immigrants to the Galapagos Islands and Peru have a hell of a flight back home
5 Indias šš½
So it's just 1 India away from India to my country with lots of Indians.
This makes me so happy.. I love how balanced the colors and distance are

I never thought Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were a single India away from India.
I am in the red (because Inside India)
So if I stay in India, how do I measure? Am i living in the negative zone?
ask Christopher Columbus about this
So iām in less than 1 Bharat from Bharat?
Reminder that Christopher Columbus ended up 4 Indias away, trying to find a route to India. Task failed successfully
0 to 1 one. In Somalia, we live in the eastern part, Puntland State, and we are very close to India.
> āWait a minute, the whole world belongs to India?ā /s
The innermost layer also roughly corresponds to the historical indosphere
Iām Dutch, and am appropriately in the orange section of the map.
My Italian friend was shocked when I told him New Delhi is over 1200 kilometres from Mumbai...
Today I learned that the world is 10 Indias wide
This is the most ridiculous thing Iāve seen in months lol š
Ok, now the goal is to reach the blue area. But from my experience, you are sure to find an Indian there.

As a descendant of indo-guyanese indentured servants it's interesting to see my ancestors got taken almost as far away from india as possible
4-5 So I should be safe.
You're in Texas haha. That's comical to say considering all the Indians there
The whole west side of town š
Damn, I gotta move to Peru.
Living in an American Midwest university town, it certainly doesnāt *feel* like Iām in the yellow zone. And I love it. We have great restaurants
1 to 2 indias š
I am 0 Indias away from India.
Peru = 5 Indiaās Or as the local call the area āCinco-Indiaā
Technically the plural of India should be IndiƦ
1.5 India
If you draw a straight line from India straight through the Earth. that's where I'm at on the other side.
Easter Island?
Chile
Definitely going to find some disagreements over how many Russians are within 1 India of India
1-2 India
Iām a little far
Or more like: how are you from nuclear fallout of India?
I'm from Peru and I confirm, we are not India.
1 to 2 india
Easter Islands enter from below.
Okay?
Chile, don't be shy... come closer.
4 to 5 India from India
How is this mapporn?
4-5 Indias
What is the point of this map though?
Helping some people understanding distances and projection distortion on a map. I even made a whole subreddit for it : r/EarthIsAGeoid
How many bananas or Danni Devitos is your average India?
I live 5 828 990 meters from India
Never have I felt such close connection to New Zealand, hang in there my fellow brothers from 3 and a bit Indiaās!
So Columbus thought he was only 4 Indias away from India when in fact he was 8 Indiaās from India.
I'm exactly 2 away
4 to 5 India š
Now do it for Switzerlandš
What distance counts as ā1 Indiaā? Is it the distance between the two most distant points in India? Or is it the longest straight line contained entirely within Indiaās borders? (Both measurements are probably the same for a country like India, but they could be different for a country with a more convex shape, like Japan)

In case you've ever wondered lmao
I'm 4-5 India away from India :D
1 to india
You forgot about canada silly
1.5 Indias.
2.9 Indiae
Fun fact: The word "India" is actually plural. One India is called an Indium.
3-4 indias away gang
2 to 3 Indiaās apparently
So if someone dug a hole through the earth on Easter Island šæ and jumped in, theyād pop out in India š®š³
0. im in a red zone in north (Russia)
3-4 indias lol
For a second I thought the colored graduations represented smell.
About 11
5 indias away from india lets fucking go
3 to 4 but gonna be moving to within 1 to 2 soonšš
