Return of Horrible Educational Maps

look closely
Mmh, the left side of the map looks like a mirrored badly drawn version of Africa and Europe, with Arabia being placed near the 'E'.
However the right side is unrecognizable, except for Antarctica, Newfoundland and the Hudson bay.

NA has the antarctic peninsula instead of mexico, and there is Atlantis with a copy of the Baltic sea in it. Oh, and huge green Greenland.
 
Allegedly from a textbook made in Hong Kong.

As far as one can tell they didn't forget New Zealand. Pity that they seemed to have forgotten nearly everything else about map making...

Edit: I decided to put it in as a thumbnail. That map is that bad, enlarge thumb at your own risk.

As always I love a good Approx. scale. In the absence of anything else we are forced to assume it is 1m to 179m, which would mean this map is about the size of Argentina. A shame then that so many little details got missed off, surely they had the space?
 
Apart from the projection, and bits of eastern Europe, this isn't so bad.
United Ireland is always a brave thing to put on a Political Map. Indonesia has also annexed Papua New Guinea (or perhaps vice versa?) That said by not showing the Falklands at all they have at least avoided any controversy in the South Atlantic.
