Weirdest world map ever!

This is clearly what would happen if Australia were to sink into the Ocean. Along with Japan.
Thanks, guys!
I was trying to reduce the file size so it would fit, then I found out I could make it a .jpg file. That's why Australia and other places are missing.
This could be in the near future, after a pandemic or something, when the only survivors are quilters, Scotsmen, surrealist artists, New Agers, role-play gamers....
There is another rationale.
The Persians win various significant battles, including at Marathon, and the occult ideas of the East become more influential.
Also, either an ancient philosopher becomes a geographer, or vice-versa, and his ideas become very influential.
Maps have words and images.
Words and images can have magic power.
Putting those words and images in concrete form (on a map) can manipulate reality.
Having the borders correspond to certain images can have a magical influence on reality.
I don't know if politicians and generals would go along with that, but they've gone along with a lot of other wacky ideas.
The regions of North America are actually administrative districts, part of the Empire of Scotland, England, Ireland and Dominions Overseas. The smaller districts are Indian reservations.
Shall I tell more about this world, or modify the map, or would you rather drop the subject?

I suppose if you view it as a map with symbols on top sumbolising something or other, it makes rather more sense
Thus the hatching in N America, the oval and star in S America, the A, the ankh, the grey and green in Nigeria/Niger, the weird symbols in Iberia, the dragon thing across central Asia, the symbol on India are all symbols not country boundaries
