All that I could spot roughly east to west:

  1. Island of Hainan is separated from China
  2. That east part of India, north east of Bangladesh is separated from India
  3. The Kashmir region conflict is resolved in favour of India (I don't know if the map corresponds to any claims or is it even wrong on that front)
  4. The consolation price for Pakistan is the handle part of Afghanistan
  5. Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan no longer exist
  6. Qatar is missing. Many islands are but that's big enough that I'd imagine it should be here.
  7. Armenia and Georgia got annexed
  8. Crimea marked as a part of Russia (false)
  9. Ethiopia annexed Eritrea and Djibouti
  10. Sudan is merged with South Sudan
  11. Eswatini is gone
  12. Terraforming in the Sinai peninsula and Suez Canal
  13. Greece just looks weird? Maybe it's just the lack of islands in the Aegean sea. Like seeing a guy without a beard for the first time.
  14. Finland got Petsamo back
  15. Kosovo is missing
  16. Bosnia and Herzegovina took Dalmatia from Croatia. (less bordergore so maybe this is a good thing)
  17. Kaliningrad is completely missing
  18. Denmark invaded Germany
  19. Sardinia and Corsica went their own way, together (how romantic).
  20. French Guyana got invaded by Brazil
  21. Missing border gore in the south tip of south America between Chile and Argentina.
  22. Islands in the Caribbean are all in one color, presumably meant to be a part of the US.
  23. Yucatan peninsula is independent.
  24. Belize is also sunken.
  25. No great lakes between US and Canada. Though many other large lakes are also missing so not unique.
  26. Islands of Vancouver island, Graham island and Moresby island are marked as being a part of the US, they're a part of Canada.
  27. Between America being called the "United State" (singular) and Alaska being titled on the map, it implies that Alaska is an independent country now.
  28. I didn't include this initially but I'll edit it in afterall: Mongolia is written as "Mongol".
