For my fellow nerds who are wondering for realsies, you can 512 Polands in the Pacific ocean (although you'd probably have to chop up a few to get them to fit neatly)

Cool. Now all of us fellow nerds are obsessing over the fact that it's a perfect power of two.
Turns out, the polandgon (polagon?) has an ideal shape with a perfect binary ratio of area to circumference.
And since a random close 2D packing of disk-like shapes averages around 80%, probably 409 without cutting them.
Considering that all the landmasses on earth could fit into the Pacific, that number sounds surprisingly low. But the math does check out.
Depends on how you measure the coastlines.
A coastline may be infinitely long (coastline paradox) but the area of the ocean is not infinitely large.
Just think about it this way: go close to the coastline while still being 100% certain you are on land. No matter how precise (and therefore long) you measure the coastline, the area of the ocean can never be larger than the area inside of your 100% on land line.
What did they do to new zealand? Is it safe somewhere or should I fear for the worst?
It moved and became new Poland
It went hard south and became New Poleland?
Old Zealand
New Zealand does not always exist.
Do with the what now?
Imagine 16 Polands. Heck, imagine 17 Polands
