Here's another fine mess

Here's a "-stan" gag by Neil Dishington.  I'm actually kind of surprised how often the "-stan" joke comes up in map-related comics.  I mean it's a relatively easy cartography joke (not as easy as this one though), but it's been done rather creatively each time I've seen it. 

And for those of you youngsters who don't get the joke, see the Wikipedia entry on Laurel & Hardy:  (not that I'm old enough to get it, I just learned about it from my elders).  Better yet, watch a Laurel & Hardy video or two.
