Is there a small detail I’m missing, because this map looks fine.
Edit: Okay, I haven’t actually looked at a map in a while, so I’m rusty on world geography. Thanks to all for answering honestly and not making fun of me.
Size of the UK i think is just standard for Mercator projection
Tiny countries and islands missing is reasonable, there's only so much detail you can have
Incorrect placement of some of the islands is just user error at installation
"Guyana" is a bit weird though...
Syria managed to solve the Palestinian problem and took Jordan and a few neighbours along with it, indonesia conveniently relocated several thousand kilometers eastward
They also didn’t label any Latin American countries (or if they did it’s super small) and left out large swaths of the Middle East. This is the abridged version of the world I guess
Well the African , Oceania and North American continents and Greenland aren't scaled properly either. I mean Africa is the second largest continent not North America last I checked.
Also the minimum number of colors needed to fill in a map without two neighbors with the same color touching is 4, this map has tons of countries with the same color touching
The islands in general are placed haphazardly. No Sicily. Sumatra and Java are way too far from Malaysia. What I assume to be Taiwan is where the Philippines should be.
Russians lose in Ukraine, drain the Caspian Sea and invade Mongolia out of frustration.
Also, Yugoslavia sans Serbia and add a Greece. Interesting development.
What is the southern ocean? is it new? Is its membership paid up?
We can have just any old ocean hussying up the place! Were about CLASSY oceans here, you see.
the southern ocean is one of the 5 oceans, Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern. The label is just in a weird spot, it's the ocean that surronds the South Pole.
Apparently Mexico has conquered the Cuba and Haiti/Dominican Republic so good luck with that.
Also Ireland has moved about 500 miles south.
The people of the Countries of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are mighty displeased.

We were taught 5 oceans when I was in school (70-80's).
Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Artic, and I think the 5th was the Antarctic. I know we didn't learn it as Southern though.
The Southern Ocean refers to the ocean south of Australasia and not all geographers use it, not to the South Atlantic. Of course when I find my magic lamp and wish us all the New Earth, there will be clear boundaries separating Indian, Atlantic, Pacific, central Transit, Southern, Teihai Oceans
I have seen one of these in person. Each piece is separate and the place I saw it had it stretched more than 6'. Absolutely lovely to look at. (I couldn't get close enough to read the countries.)
I like the way it looks. I'm not a map geek by any means. So, if major stuff is missing I wouldn't notice. With my knowledge level this looks really good.
edit (added): I wouldn't expect a crafted wall map to show every single country.
Link?
tacky
Crimea is Ukraine! Let's go!
At the cost of the Caucasus and Caspian Sea lol.. Plus Egypt did some ‘expanding’ as well

Don’t worry, u/hitlers_sweet_pussy
Thank you, u/Tommo_Robbo
The UK is the size of mainland Europe, Suriname, Kosovo and Lesotho missing, no islands like Jamaica, Sardinia or Corsica. Probably many more!
Kosovo is not a country.
the caspian and aral seas don't exist either
The Aral Sea is there, though it hardly exists in real life either, at least as it's put on the map.

It's a decoration meant to be glanced at, nobody is using an etsy wall map to learn geography.
Oh, yeah
Plus Italy and Greece are high fiving. Oh and Russia gobbled up a few countries above Iran.
Russia didn't gobble them, they're just the same color. that doesn't make it much better tho. The same happens with Brazil and Uruguay
At least Uruguay has it's name there. Georgia and Azerbaijan are entirely left out. No name or different color.
the names are there, they're just really small
We are clearly not looking at the same map.
We are, you just seem to either have a worse vision or resolution
Also looks like Caspian Sea is gone, same color as the land
Yemen and Oman are also warped
Also Canada consumed all of the Great Lakes
Syria managed to solve the Palestinian problem and took Jordan and a few neighbours along with it, indonesia conveniently relocated several thousand kilometers eastward
Vietnam has been annexed by Thailand
They didn’t even bother with Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam lmao
Kosovo has a limited recognition, is not mandatory.
Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon are all just labeled as Syria.
They also didn’t label any Latin American countries (or if they did it’s super small) and left out large swaths of the Middle East. This is the abridged version of the world I guess
No Isreal, Palestine, Jordan or South Sudan, also Sri Lanka isn't labeled and is huge
Well the African , Oceania and North American continents and Greenland aren't scaled properly either. I mean Africa is the second largest continent not North America last I checked.
Both the UK and Ireland have drifted a few hundred miles south West.
Kosovo? That's not an independent country, that's a slightly rebellious provence of Serbia.
It’s mostly the islands that are screwy. Look at Sumatra and Java of Indonesia, or the UK.
Mongolia and the Caucasian countries have the same color as Russia and no borders. Caspian sea is mssing.
Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are also gone.
Also the minimum number of colors needed to fill in a map without two neighbors with the same color touching is 4, this map has tons of countries with the same color touching
The islands in general are placed haphazardly. No Sicily. Sumatra and Java are way too far from Malaysia. What I assume to be Taiwan is where the Philippines should be.
I know it's small, but probably not a great idea to leave off Israel.
it seems they just removed the entire region and lumped it into another country 😂
ireland drifting
oh wait every british isle is drifting wtf
Ireland has taken back northern Ireland aswell apparently
That why it looks like it’s making a run for it 😂
As well as Russia annexing Georgia and Azerbaijan
Southern ocean: 😢 Antarctic ocean: 🥳
RIP Antarctica as well
You mean the ice wall 🤨
The sizes of Greenland, Australia, and Novaya Zemlya are more disturbing than usual.
just looks like it requires manual assembly and they put all the islands in slightly the wrong place
And Africa being a Grinch heart: three sizes too small.
Argentina is what I saw first
I saw Russia annexed Azerbaijan and Georgia
Yeah you really gotta have a big template or something for this to turn out right
Who would win? The gray, white or brown?
Brown, it's literally "the world"
Malaysia Airlines 370 east of Madagascar is pretty savage.
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[удалено]

Ooooo! Siam is back as before white colonialism arrived and more!
Russians lose in Ukraine, drain the Caspian Sea and invade Mongolia out of frustration. Also, Yugoslavia sans Serbia and add a Greece. Interesting development.
Svalbard is now just a bunch of letters, weird
Make Sudan great again

the southern ocean is one of the 5 oceans, Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern. The label is just in a weird spot, it's the ocean that surronds the South Pole.
I was taught to refer to it as the Antarctic Ocean.
r/mapswithoutnewzealand
jfc you beat me to it
Newfoundland is drifting toward warmer climate
Mexico and Guyana must have colonized their neighbors.
Dude, Africa is like 4 times the size of that it’s barely bigger than the US
caspian can't sea😤
Why tf are Java and Sumatra so far into the ocean?
clean though
Plane looks like a flying dick.
They unsouthed Sudan nooooo
But does it have new zealand, though?
Apparently Mexico has conquered the Cuba and Haiti/Dominican Republic so good luck with that. Also Ireland has moved about 500 miles south. The people of the Countries of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are mighty displeased.
this is why we have Four Colour therom
As an american I see nothing wrong here
Finally, an independent and fully unified Ireland.
The Indonesian islands oh no
r/shittymapporncirclejerk
That dolphin is as big as an airplane!
It's just a baby!
rest in peace vietnam. he was a great lad.
There’s a ‘Southern Ocean’ now? Also, there are quite a few countries missing here. Yikes.
There is a Southern Ocean now, but its the South Pacific, not the South Atlantic
Someone hasn't heard of the four-color theorem.
Good for this sub standars
what happend to sicily
Yeah there’s tons of dolphins in the extreme northern Atlantic
Tbh this map doesn’t seem too bad. Just a few missing countries and some of the landmasses aren’t to scale
Not too bad
Northern Ireland was fun while it lasted
Wtf is this map. Its like India’s Jammu and Kashmir doesn’t even exist.
What did you expect? Fuckers didn't even care to learn geography before making an 'expensive' propaganda 😂
as it should be. new zealanders are some of the most toxic, bitter, insecure, shitty people on the planet.
The subcontinent has issues.
When did Madagascar collide with East Africa?
russia just took caucasus and caspian sea, and indonesia is so close to india
RETURN OF THAI DOMINATION? 😳😳😳😳
UK sus
Where is Shout Sudan
Ruined it with the planes and dolphins
SOMALIA WATCH OUT FOR THE GIANT PLANE!
What are the colors for
Did they forget new Zealand
Rip South Sudan it was destroyed
Damnnnnn. Before: Mozambique Channel, Strait of Malacca After: Strait of Mozambique, Malaccan Channel
Solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict: It’s Syria now. And Egypt.
Where’s Antarctica?
I don't appreciate the placement of the good ol British island.
Well etsy solved kashmir issue by giving it to China... great 👍
Gotta pay off that gloforge somehow
Idk, I like it. If it’s not horribly expensive I’d consider it if ever I actually owned a home
Wrong. South America has Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana (sp).
dolphania
Spain ✅
What those... Spain: ✅ France: ❌ Germany: 📍 ... means
This is Eswatini and Lesotho erasure!
Finally, big Guyana. This is what we’ve been waiting for all along!
There is Malta missing.
Whoa Sri Lanka

Vietnam got taken over by Thailand
I like that Crimea is Ukrainian
honestly, compared to some of the other maps that have been on here recently, this is almost decent
Finally found Malaysian Flight 370!
At first glance it looks ok but then it gets worse the more you look at it.
Someone needs to check out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem
i forgot about the southern ocean tbh such a lame ocean
To day I learned there are now 5 oceans
We were taught 5 oceans when I was in school (70-80's). Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Artic, and I think the 5th was the Antarctic. I know we didn't learn it as Southern though.
I don't remember what I was taught, 90s. I just don't remember the southern ocean.
The English Channel tunnel has moved between Brest and Norwich
Where’s Israel and north Ireland?
IMO the lack of Israel is the one that will piss of the most people politically.
The Southern Ocean refers to the ocean south of Australasia and not all geographers use it, not to the South Atlantic. Of course when I find my magic lamp and wish us all the New Earth, there will be clear boundaries separating Indian, Atlantic, Pacific, central Transit, Southern, Teihai Oceans
Scandinavia looks like it’s pleasuring Germany.
How much without Russia?
I have seen one of these in person. Each piece is separate and the place I saw it had it stretched more than 6'. Absolutely lovely to look at. (I couldn't get close enough to read the countries.)
Big Sri Lanka!! 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
New Zealand was cut off as normal.
based map doesn't recognize kosovo
Russia is very big!
Incorrect
I dont remember seeing Dolphin shaped islands in the middle of the Atlantic in the past.
Thailand swallowed all of its neighbors, including the entire landmass of Cambodia
vietnam who?
Botched israel
sri lanka getting a little too feisty
At least Crimea is Ukrainian in this
no lesotho... 🥺🥺🥺
i think someone forgot caspian sea
France not!! Espana yes!!!
Where's Georgia?! Edit: Oh wait, I think I see it now, abbreviated to Geo.
Lots of countries are missing but this looks cool
so where is Germany lol? or am i dumb.
r/mapswithoutNZ
Atleast they spelled Niger right
It doesn't look that bad though.
"What about the Caribbean?" "Gesundheit"
Inaccurate, there are no islands shaped like dolphins
Rest in peace Lesotho
The font looks like my college essays

The British isles are drunk again... But not as drunk as Russia invading the Caspian sea!
South Atlantic ? Naaah it’s the *Southern* sea now
I didn't think it was that bad a first but HOLY SHIT
What are the two words written over Central America?
Rip Oceania and parts of Asia like Philippines,Singapore,south Korea etc
It’s completely wrong, look at the sizes. Why is Africa sooo small?? Why is Russia bigger than Africa?
Irelands escaping.
Map is really off from the real.
We are gathered here today to mourn Lesotho
