Israel is a small country, divided between nine graticules from (29,34) to (33,35). In order to unite the few Israeli xkcd fans, a different algorithm was taken. Instead of the regular graticule, a rectangle of 67,000 square kilometers that bounds the entire state of Israel is used so that all Israelis share the same meeting point. In addition, instead of the Dow Jones the algorithm uses the USD to NIS exchange rate, to align with Israel's time zone and week days.
