That sea looks like interwar Poland.

...but... what is it? There are some east-west/neighbour swaps in there, but there is more stuff, which I can't place.

Oh, it's just a huge number of extremely minuscule changes that are supposed to drive you crazy. Already seen the Malta-Crete swap? Catalonia in Basque? That Ireland moved north to be besides Scotland? That Strasbourg is right, but on the other side of the Rhine? That we have Leningrad AND St. Petersburgh? And whatever Lithuania did? That Geneva and Genoa switched places?

It's great because as it is stated on the bottom right: Boundary representation is not necessarily authoritative. It's just a silly thing, a map to explore and find all the mistakes.

This map is triggering me

Where is my safe map space

I'd downvote that map. I wonder what german nationality its creator had.
And "symproteyousa" isn't the name of a city, but an epithet.

Don't like bring ruled from Sparta? ;-)

@warpus I feel ya.

The cities are misplaced or renamed and so on. Seems like a lot of effort.

I saw on the news that Iran has denied attacking an Omani tanker, but what stood out to me is the foreign affairs minister's backdrop, a section of which I captured for us to enjoy.

What the heck is going on in here?

Iranian geography lessons not great. Sill there's some great countries on that map.

No one cares about Indonesia/dinoGuinea/pacific archipelago

nicely claiming the Gulf -and- the entrance to the Red Sea . The tanker attack should start an all out war , so much that to spite the possibility Washington has moved its "local" arrier to the China sea or whatever .

I don’t think we can say for certain that it was a deliberate choice—with the map’s poor quality of assembly, I think it’s as equally likely they glued Iran on the wrong spot, had to pry it off, and then they didn’t bother to scrape off the leftover glue; notice how the shape of the discoloration is the same as Iran itself.

 

[r16]

the Red Sea is the guy with the hammer and no memory whatsoever of seeing a map , but it is "Persian Gulf" ...

What are those weird white landmasses in the middle of the Pacific, to the northeast of Australia?
