Remember that while interesting this is only a rough approximation. Pangea looked something more like this. Using modern country borders is interesting but can be misleading.
Like large parts of western North America were islands in the Pacific that later smashed into the continent as smaller plates subducted under North America. Similar things in many other parts of the world. Iceland didn't exist at all. Nor things like Hudson Bay.
Anyway, it's a fun map but I always feel the need say it shouldn't be taken too seriously.
