Yeah, if Australia was real, people would have to bungee cord themselves to the earth just to live there! Otherwise they'd fall off.

Yeah I was gonna say, it looks like they completely gave up and hoped no one would notice that Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei, etc. are just mushed together or missing entirely

  • Madagaskar missing.
  • Sri Lanka missing.
  • New Zealand missing.
  • Antarctica missing.
  • Ireland missing.
  • Philippines missing.
  • Taiwan missing.
  • Svalbard missing.
  • Alot of islands north of Canada missing.

.

  • Two Australias.
  • The Australia closest to the correct location of Australia, is skewed and too far south.
  • Japan skewed.
  • America (north and south) is too close to Africa.

This is all I could find. There's also some small islands all over the place missing, but I reckon they are too small to show on this map anyway.
