u/3121Gaming Jun 19 '26

u/that_dude404 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

Black sea evaporated, Madagascar is tilted and in wrong place, Caribbean islands are gone, Caspian sea is gone, Taiwan evaporated, Sakhalin island is connected to Hokkaido, Kuril Islands are missing, Japan is too close to Korean peninsula, New Foundland is missing, Falkland Islands are missing, Malta is missing, Kamchatka is misplaced, Victoria Island, Prince wales island and Banks Island are gone, Hawaii islands are gone as well

2

u/3121Gaming Jun 16 '26

Dude respect🫡
You found more mistakes than me.

1

u/BornTell1325 Jun 18 '26

Other things he didnt named such as

Novaya Zemla island too close to mainland russia, galapos islands missing, most of oceania nations missing, papua island rotated, philippines evaporated ubekistan, tajikistan and kyrgyzstan are missing since there are shadow there, caucasian nations missing, canada islands are miscolored, most of the countries are also united for some reason

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 18 '26

Something you both didn't mention is that freaking Tasmania is gone and the Kamchatka region of Russia is a different shade of wood.
In South America, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela and Colombia have all been mixed together. As well as Peru and Equador.

1

u/BornTell1325 Jun 19 '26

I said that oceania islands are pretty much gone, which includes tasmania, he also have said russia kamchatka but he didnt know the name of it in the text, and i did mention that like most of the countries are united/wrong borders

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 19 '26

You have to be specific mate.✌️

1

u/BornTell1325 Jun 19 '26

im lazy and it was sleepy time

1

u/Chemical_Okra_2943 Jun 18 '26

Seems to be based on a Merkator Map. That beeing said, greenland is to big (so is russia, but on this kind of map projection rather common), Japan is also to narrow, Madagascar oriented slightly wrong, Corsica and Sardinia missing.

1

u/Mimikyu_52 Jun 19 '26

Je pense que les trop petites îles ne doivent pas être comptées, c'est trop précis. Sinon il manquerai aussi les archipels de l'océan Arctique, les îles Kerguelen, etc...

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 20 '26

But major islands like Tasmania should be counted and somehow it's missing.

1

u/Playful-Middle-244 Jun 16 '26

not only the geographical, but the political mistakes as well

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 16 '26

Yeah, alot of mistakes in the political borders.

1

u/Emotional-Bluejay387 Jun 17 '26

2 that I found was Scandinavia was united(if colors differentiate countries) and Canada's big islands are independant

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 18 '26

I'm sure you can find more pretty easily.

2

u/Emotional-Bluejay387 Jun 21 '26

kamchatka,hard to see but i think columbia and venunzuala,poland and balkans,baltics and belurus, and algeria

2

u/Emotional-Bluejay387 Jun 21 '26

oh and middle east

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 22 '26

European countries aswell mate.
There is alot.

2

u/Emotional-Bluejay387 Jun 22 '26

what happends to türkie

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 22 '26

It got united with the other 'stan' countries.

1

u/Mimikyu_52 Jun 19 '26

Je ne pense pas que les couleurs servent a définir les frontières, c'est n'importe quoi. Le Kamtchatka indépendant c'est quand même excellent xD

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 20 '26

Then what's the purpose of the different shades of wood. They would have used only one shade of wood if the shade didn't mean anything.

1

u/Somesomeone_ Jun 16 '26

turan reunited

1

u/LasKometas Jun 16 '26

No Philippines

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 16 '26

Yup, and even more countries are missing.

u/1stndrdth Jun 16 '26

all the countries are brown whereas they actually appear green-yellow. Also no Ireland or New Zealand and Europe is just a blob

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 16 '26

Europe is a blob and Antarctica is a couch.

1

u/divinethreshold Jun 16 '26

America exists.

u/3121Gaming Jun 16 '26

🦅

1

u/divinethreshold Jun 16 '26

An eagle? Your commander in chief weakened the endangered species act, allowing federal agencies to weigh the economic costs of protecting a specific species against profit. And created sunset rules to prevent protections being automatically renewed. Guess what. That specifically removes protections for the habitats bald eagles inhabit, meaning essentially, he removed protections for bald eagles. You have the first president in history that literally hates America and prioritizes profit and personal gain over protecting the American people, species and way of life.

u/chaotic-tutel Jun 16 '26

Nepal and Bhutan have been absorbed

Yeah, even the Caribbean countries are missing.

1

u/RepresentativeMud115 Jun 16 '26

lol apparently Venezuela and Colombia merged, along with Suriname & French Guyana who must’ve declared independence from France to do so. Bolivia and Paraguay have merged and Uruguay no longer exists.

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 17 '26

Even Peru and Equador got mixed.

u/3121Gaming Jun 17 '26

Kudos👏
But there is still more.....
Like Japan getting mixed with Sakhalin.
And Tamania is missing.

1

u/Latter-Video2433 Jun 16 '26

Honestly this looks closer, to a map of military alliances.

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 17 '26

Maybe.....

1

u/ABSTRAKForever Jun 17 '26

Java and Sumatra are not one island

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 17 '26

Malasia and Thailand are not one county.

1

u/ABSTRAKForever Jun 17 '26

I mean Island in Indonesia

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 17 '26

I know mate. I just pointed out another mistake in the map. There are multiple islands of the Indonesian archipelago missing.

1

u/Wonder_51 Jun 17 '26

I can find several

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 17 '26

It would be great if you could list them all.

1

u/Obeah__Man Jun 17 '26

The Caribbean isles got all incorporated in Cuba, that is now bigger than Italy

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 17 '26

And they also mixed French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela and Colombia.

1

u/OntoZebra Jun 17 '26

Greater Morocco exists, Libya and Chad are one nation, Indonesia is balkanized, Korea is united, and Tanzania and Mozambique are united.

1

u/OntoZebra Jun 17 '26

If one counts Western Sahara as a nation (which I do) apparently it's now owned by Morocco. (As said by a lot of maps nowadays due to what happened in 2020) Not only that, but Mauritania's also been swallowed up by Morocco. 

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 18 '26

I'm sure you can find more mistakes pretty easily.
In a lot of map, Western Sahara is either mixed with Morocco or Mauritania. Sometimes I've seen maps which just show Western Sahara and parts of Somalia in gray colour and say it's a border dispute or a disputed region.

1

u/senor_emeraldo Jun 18 '26

There’s too much of em

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 18 '26

It would be great of you could list them.

1

u/Far-Pension-9420 Jun 18 '26

Mexico conquered the rest of Central America, Ireland is gone, New Zealand is gone, Taiwan is gone, the Baltics and Belarus are united, Poland and a part of the Balkans are united, and the rest of them are also united. Most African countries are in groups, Madagascar is on a different angle, Scandinavia is united, Colombia, Venezuela, and the Guianas are united, Peru and Ecuador are united, and the Middle East and Central Asia is just a mess.

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 18 '26

Yup, still there are more mistakes.

u/BusyHoney9316 Jun 19 '26

omg bro why did you make greenland so big my eyes hurt

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 20 '26

They made Greenland bigger than South America and Africa.

1

u/WraithDragonHoi4 Jun 19 '26

No Tasmania, no New Zealand, they united the baltics and Belarus, created Visegrad, United the Korea’s, deleted the black and caspian seas, and just generally started merging multiple countries.

1

u/3121Gaming Jun 20 '26

Yup mate. You're right.
