It was not formerly Russian. Hell, Russian Poland was basically what the Austrians and Prussians have them after the Napoleonic Wars. Trans-Carpathian Ruthenia had nothing to do with Russia territorial up until WWII, even if they did call themselves Rusyn and want to join the them,

Looks like a giant blue lobster claw is coming out of the Black Sea.
They made North Macedonia look oddly testicular.
Looks like Europe farted and North America is slowly taking a step back lest he smell the fumes.
Seems they're using the old ROC's claimed borders for China.
Looks like the "Is Europe a continent?" debate has been settled for good.
Well, anthropomorphized Brazil's sure enjoying slurping up them spaghetti noodles.

Judging from how the Arctic Circle line jumps at Iceland and the White Sea (and if you dare to look closer it also has fits in Greenland and Siberia) the segments of this globe were glued together rather sloppily.
Although to be fair a sloppy assembly wasn't what made this globe horribly bad.
Personal "favourite": The French-Austrian border.
Luckily I'm old enough for booze, so I'll now be drinking until I've forgotten that.

After WWII a conference was held in San Francisco that contemplated a Kurdistan from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. The notion was quickly abandoned but not by everyone. Some Kurdish people still envision a huge Greater Kurdistan like the one outlined on the map above.
This isn't *that* bad, but this map from AFP about recent abortion laws in the US features some... strange... state shapes

Apologies if this has been posted before.
Those land bridges might be excusable (they didn't want to attach those islands separately to the wall) but then you notice Alaska and Central America (digging the Panama Canal must have been quite the task there)

I wonder whatever happened to this airline.
Went bankrupt from lawsuits after a plane headed to Guangzhou ended up landing in ISIS-held territory in eastern Syria. Pilots blamed it on some sort of faulty maps hindering navigation or something.
Ahhh, everyone of a certain age remembers the day East Prussia sank into the sea.
Though it didn't make the news in the Netherlands, due to that sinking at the same time... apart from Texel and a couple of bits of Zeeland, apparently.
Complete with Israel and additionally an Iran on the Tigris (And Finland with post continuation war borders, no Arctic coast)
Not to mention that the countries are visibly labeled in German (admittedly it claims that it's a German map) but they made quite some errors with that as well.
Not only the the lack of the Umlaute, whoever typed those labels wasn't very accurate when typing the names (Litaueh, Letyland, Griecheniand and Alberien have obviously missed to hit the right key, not sure what is was with Tunio; oh and I just noticed Frannreich)

Considering the titles on the books, the unfashionable typewrighter, and whatever stand the laptop is on, I doubt anything in this room is meant for anything more than a photo shoot or making someplace look fancy and suitable for gentlemen. What do you call people who move into gentrified areas! Anyways, even the plant seems to have wires. Fortunately there is a backup globe here. And you have to admit, they have a good reason for connecting Islands to continents by way of thick landbriges. Otherwise they loose the islands, like they did with Iceland, the Caribbean, and my, they moved Japan to a weird spot. At least We know these weren't made in China, or they would have shown Taiwan connected to the mainland like Hainan is.Apologies if this has been posted before.
