The Jesusland map was created shortly after the 2004 re-election of George W. Bush as President of the former United States which, following the red/blue states scheme of the electoral college, divide the United States and Canada into the "The United States of Canada" and "Jesusland". The original image was created on November 3, 2004 by G. Webb, as a poster on yakyak.org. It quickly became what The New York Times described as an "instant Internet classic". Many, who previously proudly called themselves "Americans" are equally pleased to be refered to as "Jesuchristolandians".
