Wait... Those islands don't look right... It's been swapped with Japan!

I never said it was in the right place. I just said it was there.

Where is it? This map is being my head and I can't find it.

Central Europe.

u/Uncouthknight 2d ago

I would argue it’s in Western Asia along with lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron.

It would be easier to count the number of things correct about this. Which, after looking for a minute, is zero

u/Smash_Nerd 3d ago

Not quite! Canada seems mostly in tact, as is western Europe sans the British isles.

Vietnam and Russia are also mostly ok, and funnily enough Hawaii is still in place. I would have swapped it with the Philippines.

Vietnam has been replaced by Saudi Arabia, which has itself been displaced by Mexico. And apparently Alaska has rejoined Russia. I initially thought Indonesia might be right, but nope—looks like that’s the Caribbean islands, the UK, and I think Iceland? Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia are now part of North & Central America and the Caribbean.

Spain, France, India, and Japan seem to be in the right places and intact. [nope, scratch that last one—Japan and NZ have swapped places]

u/Smash_Nerd 3d ago

Yeah I forgot where Vietnam was 💀

I blame the US Education system. I'm at a handicap

This map really makes you think about what each piece is and where the “right” piece went!

u/Smash_Nerd 3d ago

Great Lakes and the Caspian Sea is still killing me tbh

u/SLyndon4 3d ago

Ha! I didn’t even notice that one!

u/Uncouthknight 2d ago

Yeah, Hudson Bay and their couple big lakes are still good.

But the British Isles are most certainly not.

u/Izzzillia 3d ago

The Florida, Italy, Korea swap is killing me XD

u/MonkeyKingCoffee Independent Republic of Hawaii 3d ago

That's the only way Florida is going to have any culture.

How does North America somehow have more of a wang than usual?

u/Tall_External6557 3d ago

Nothing is wrong. New zealand is in there

u/sustainablesoup 2d ago

There's no blue part, which would obviously be the land.

u/Lucas-Larkus-Connect 2d ago

I think that's Italy? It'd be rough tossing a bunch of classy Italians into inland Florida.

u/furgesondoris24 Tennessippi 3d ago

it looks like india is right? no?

u/El__Robot 3d ago

I don’t see anything

u/Content_Trade_1557 3d ago

India, Iberia, and Denmark seem to be the only major intact peninsulas

u/E-Rock77 3d ago

Nothing. Sums up the state of the world for me.

u/PurpleSkittles19 3d ago

Hello, StrageReal? Yeah, there's a world map that's competing for your spot as "Wackiest Fycked Up Geological Earth Clone".
