Europe vs East Asia

• Nukes are not allowed
• "Winning" is determined by who makes the biggest destruction to other side and who makes the biggest territory gain from other side
• Other countries could not participate by any means. US, Russia or other..
• Each side cannot march their armies through other not participating countries land territory
• So it would be a naval battle to get to the other side by Indian ocean or Arctic circle
• All the military and industrial capabilities according to the current state of 2026
• For this scenario, lets say there was no Ukraine war in the first place

Edit: So what is the longest path in Canada with no repeats? This Claude response has me wondering how much better we can do!

From Claude:
I computed a route that never uses the same stretch of road twice. It follows real highway data, but it is not dense near cities, which you asked for. The file is canada_longest_drive_route.kml.

What it is:

• The route is about 17,100 km along the highway network, including 304 km of ferry, and it uses 3,123 road segments with no repeats.
• It starts in Cape Breton and finishes at Tuktoyaktuk, NT. The path is coloured from green at the start to red at the finish, with ferries in blue.
• I built it from Natural Earth’s Canadian highway network, about 71,000 km in total. From that I picked the longest connected piece I could where no segment has to be driven twice.

UN data btw

Texas is a joyride compared to this

As an American...I gotta say this is just incredible, and humbling to look at. All that influence from a country the size of Alabama

Are they the baddies? Assuming I got the countries right.

Just me MS Paint & Google Maps ❤️
