At least they didn’t forget New Zealand this time
They did drop the UK though, not that anyone would miss us.. 😂
What do you mean? The UK is right there, land bridge to France and everything.
I knew a pedant would get me lol
It looks like Cornwall made the cut.
Ah yes, Paris, my favorite Finnish city. Very easy to get to since we drained the English Channel.
It always did have gorgeous views of the Baltic lake
Oh yeah, the famous Baltic Lake
At least it didn't forget New Zealand
Is there a maps without New Zealand community yet?
I just can't get enough of that Mediterranean lentil dahl.
Ah yes... India.
The island country next to Africa.
Where did you think it was? On it's own subcontinent attached to the south of Asia, where the landmass of Mediterranean is?
Pfft... that's just ridiculous.
Next you'll be telling me the Himalayas are actually a result of said subcontinent crashing into the main Asian continent.
Ah yes, New York south of Texas
India, the island off Africa
Say what you will about the map, at least there's no England.
A small price to pay
Or no canal between UK and EU?
Cursed Canadian Greenland
Don't be so hard on them, Australia is spot on.
There's also a New Zeland, so that's nice
They even remembered Tasmania.
So.... Aussie geography then?
I'm going to wager that decal was designed and manufactured in a non-English speaking country. Everyone knows where Texas and Canada are
Nah I don't think the language/location gap can explain this ignorance. You can onlt find this in a Graphic Designer.
My thoughts too. An American would probably mess up the rest of the world, but would nail canada, America, and south America lol
It's not just about the labels, the landmasses themselves are cursed
Wait... it's not a Photoshop?
Artic Ocean
Since when was Canada a land mass island?
All hail Greencanadaland.
Wouldn't it be Iceland? Or is that for the ice part of that region? Or is it the other way round.
Other way around, iceland is the small island next to it, and Greenland is the big frozen mass labelled canada here.
here have a picture
I've always remembered it like this:
Greenland is icy, Iceland is green.
Artic
and I'm guessing "Anardica" is hidden behind those condiments
Damn.. what happened to India ಥ_ಥ it shrunk in the wash
Like a frightened turtle!
@Zerush
They know where Africa is! Surprised!
Although with a very wrong size, same with South America.
The blue Europe over Africa is very wrong indeed
This is beautiful.
Poor Hokkaido lost a lot of weight, apparently. A little matchstick Hokkaido + Kurils + Sakhalin
Made in Chyna.
According to this map, you mean Korea.
