My ideal Vacation would be to visit Lake Switzerland,
Then visit the Tibetian Grasslands.

- Start date
Then visit the Tibetian Grasslands.
Additionally with all that oversimplification his choice of rivers that show up on the map is kinda weird as well. I can take it that he somehow wanted to show only the biggest rivers, but then why are the Parana and the Colorado there but the Volga and Danube are missing?
And showing only a single string of the Amazonas, ah well...
For compensation Tierra del Fuego is now Part of mainland South America (oh, and the Falklands got also a solution... well, a dissolution) and I'm intrigued by how pointy the Uruguayan coastline is.
I want to visit the Black Lake, and perhaps take a little swim down the Dardanelles River.
I find it funny how almost all of Switzerland is considered, "freshwater"
Well, to the Northeast is Lake Constance and to the Southwest is Lake Geneva (and in between are even more, albeit smaller lakes), so one could think that Switzerland is mainly water, although not noticing all those mountains between those two lakes probably takes some extreme tunnel-view.
I love how Mongolia is considered Grassland, along with the Australian Desert-turned-Grassland.

And the Rockies and Andes mountains are obviously the same thing as the Siberian and Alaskan/Canadian tundra.
That reminds me that I remember seeing a couple maps where a nation is replaced by a lake. I think they were Hungary and the Czech Republic.
So question - is this map just shitty or do all Western world biome maps show mountains as thin layers of changing biomes? Because in my school atlas, they're all simply marked as altitudinal zonation regions.
That's not that big.
Note that it shows some territories specifically not as part of Germany. When did Germany annex Italy?
And Vichy France, and Denmark, and Norway...
More to the point that the Germans apparently annexed their biggest ally, much less the territories they ended up conquering and puppeting.
