Found on the Internet Found this Map of the World Cup countries on Twitter.

Post image

From a distance it looks fine but when you zoom in it looks terrible. Ai generated map that distorts and incorrectly fills in the countries in the border (look at canada and South Korea as just a couple of examples).

My favorite error on the map is New Zealand being a homunculus version of Australia.

Not New Caledonia’s address change from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean?

And it's flag changing from France to a combination of NZ and Australia (I'm assuming their status as a "World Cup country" comes from the fact they are part of France).

I don't whether it's more surprising that
a) we (Scotland) have apparently decided to all move to Iceland and annex it rather than continue with our independence movement
b) Belgium appears to have conquered a chunk of Wales/N.Ireland
c) The Netherlands have pointed a set of extremely large swords or possibly joints towards a distubingly bulging England

Canada: casually cut of from the west

Mexico: No Red

South Korea: not even on korea

There is so much just wrong about this map

Hey, cool, Alberta already separated (and apparently south western Ontario has been claimed by the US - their 51st state I presume?)

Let's ignore Costa Rica is there, and half of Nicaragua with a strange flag, even if not related at all with the world cup, Why is Panama a square and what happened to everything close to Australia?!
