I don't get it, seems like a completely accurate map? I'm american btw
- this is satire on the situation between Japan and South Korea
  
  My comment was satire on the sad state of the American "education" system
  
  I'm out of the loop...what's going on between Japan and South Korea?
  
  Thanks for the context, from an American who tries not to read the news because my doctor reccomended that as an alternative to suicide. This whole place is fucked.

If only Scotland could detach like that in real life 😢
- This is basically plot of Golden Kamuy (with Hokkaido, not Scotland)

Please rename the Irish Sea to "Gulf of America 2"

No New Zealand yet again.

I hope you're not using that map to navigate your new home.
- Is that why everyone around me sounds like they're speaking some language I can't understand? I thought it was just really heavy accents.
  
  I mean, depending on where exactly you ended up, it could go either way. I've watched some British TV over the years and I frequently need subtitles and I assume the actors are enunciating better than the average person.

designed by POTUS executive order, soon in all geography books and schools in USA

*Democratic People's Republic of Ireland

Wales gets it it's own Island? Fuck yes! I vote for this map.

I wanted to be North Korea not South Korea

I love how Northern Ireland is south of the Irish Republic, yet every other country is accurate.

Poor Shikoku doesn't get a label
- You mean Cornwall?

A silly map of silly isles.

Just as in the actual UK map, russia does not exist
- If only.

Northern Ireland South

Suggest to a South Korean that Japan owns them and I will personally attend your funeral.
- I do not see those places on this very accurate map.
  
  Why is Northern Ireland the South of The Republic Of Ireland? Did something happen? Sorry I'm not well versed in this region.
  Also, what is the country bordering the EU and The Republic of Ireland? Is it Yougotoslovakia? I have family there I think.

Juchederry

Why call it the north sea when it's to the east? Doesn't seem very accurate to me 🤔

North Ireland is south of Ireland?

Japan has always given me more of a Denmark vibe. The general shape and area, lots of islands, connected to its' mainland and a bit on the flatter side but hey, you can't have it all exactly alike, can you?
They even have their own kinda-sorta version of sushi with a Baltic twist, heavy on the pickled herring. But there is a famous pickled fish sushi version from Kyoto.

It's funny because it's true
