So there is this article on The Verge about how the Ordnance Survey (Britain's mapping agency) has built Britain within Minecraft. They didn't manually make it though, just number crunching. So there aren't any cities. but if somone were to download a mapof this and make all the cities and towns, that would be amazing. Google Maps is a thing. 

Here is the link to the article http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/26/4772306/ordnance-survey-creates-giant-map-of-uk-in-minecraft

 

I personally think this is awesome and if I ever played Minecraft anymore I would totally download a map of this. I want to hear what people from the Britain think of this.

This really makes me want to play again and build Minneapolis or something,

Most likely just some cows and sheep, with some grass.
