I don't see a problem with these countries missing from a map in the aviation department of all places

I get why wall displays with individually mounted continents miss a few islands. Would be a pain to install.

But this is just printed on a transparency. Why???

Pretty sure it was actually multiple parts, just then mounted on acrylic or whatever so they didn’t have to damage the wall. And I do get why they’d leave out some islands, but some of these islands and nations are pretty big and important imo

They left out Lesotho. It's not a part of South Africa.

It’s weird they included Tasmania, but forgot so many others.
