I think this belongs here? I don't know what that is, but it's not New Zealand. And where's Tasmania?

I think that that dried up sausage lookin Scandinavia needs more attention.

Lol, that‘s just Norway. Sweden and all the Danish isles are missing. And Finland kind of grew over the Baltic Sea and had cut off St. Petersburg‘s access to that Sea.

But hey, the people’s republic of China now has good access to the Pacific, with Taiwan gone.

A few russian isles north of Japan are missing as well. And so are sicily and new guinea.

There's also a new imaginary country that is now located where the Black Sea is today, which means that you are now able to walk in a direct line from Turkiÿe to Ukraine without having to go around the Black Sea, according to this map 😂😂😂

EDIT: I just noticed that the same thing has happened to the Caspian Sea too! Now you can walk from Russia to Iran without having to go through the Caucasus or Central Asia, haha 🤣

I didn't notice that, but you're right.

Maybe they're suffering from anorexia?

It looks like Madagascar

u/GreyDaveNZ 3d ago

You might be onto something there, since Madagascar seems to be missing from it's usual place.

I know there's been some bad earthquakes lately, but I didn't think the tectonic plates had move that much?!

Vancouver Island is missing too. NZ could be replaced with it.

Also looks like you can get from Giant UK to Canada in a couple of easy standing jumps

Giant UK with Republic of Ireland ripped off from Northern Ireland and sunk.

That's not the kind of "border" I thought would come up after Brexit.

We’re missing new Zealand, Sweden, lesotho, eswatini, Moldova, Tasmania, Sri Lanka, New Guinea islands, Taiwan, and a lot of other small countries eliminated by the fucked up borders. The Black Sea is also a country now, Japan got shifted down probably by earthquakes, Indonesia got hit by a shrink ray, but they did remember isla Socorro and San Benedicto west of Mexico, don’t even know what tf happened with Madagascar. This is a horrid map.

I've seen a few maps off this horrible template, where Ireland is missing, Madagascar is where New Zealand should be, Sweden is missing entirely, Mexico got plenty of map-relevant islands off its west coast somehow when the likes of Cyprus and Taiwan aren't there.

Im baffled by how you forget to put Sweden of all countries on a map of Europe

Tasmania went crazy and crashed into New Zealand, sinking itself and crashing the North island into the South Island and pushing them off course

Continental drift has brought Japan closer to China, while Indonesia is shriveling away.

What happened to Taiwan?

u/OutOfTheBunker 21h ago

It followed Madagascar. And it looks like Iceland is sprouting wings and about to fly away too.

Both sunk on their maiden voyages unfortunately they was designed like titanic with no extra modern safety features.
