Our readers should know that we at Coming Anarchy like maps. We also like travel and strange new cultures. Well, before heading out on some adventure, wouldn’t it be nice to see what the people in that country are known for? Enter the Prejudice Map, powered by Google search. Let the Clash of Civilizations begin!

Who are the creators of the map?

"Read on how the map was created":http://blog.outer-court.com/forum/16602.html; you'll see the process is not exactly scientific. Still, it is entertaining.

It's true! Why, just the other day a colleague and I were discussing Mongolian singing and Libyan navigation skills.

Actually, I wonder how easy it would be to alter the standings by putting up gibberish on the Internet. "The British are known for their fine cuisine." "The Italians are known for their punctuality." Stuff like that.

Or picking on some small country until it shows up on the map.

It's probably wise that they left a Korea-related description off of there.

Had there been one, it would have started with: fierce national pride.
