The Real Latin America

I was on Latin Wikipedia tonight and found this fun map of South America, translated into Latin of course.  Highlights of the translation include: 

• Rio de Janeiro to Flumen Ianuarium;
• Buenos Aires to Bonaëropolis;
• Brasilia to Brasilopolis;
• Ecuador to Aequitoria; and
• Easter Island to Insula St. Felicis.

There’s also this cool map of the Civitates Foederatae Americae (a.k.a. United States of America) including Novum Eboracum (New York), Ludoviciana (Louisiana), Terra Mariae (Maryland), and Mons Viridis (Vermont).

The picture heading this post is from a general map of America Septentrionalis.
