Return of Horrible Educational Maps

[Analytical Engine]

A warning had been given. Apparently it wasn't heeded.

To ease the mind have some Batman Comic showing the Eastern Europe nation of Markovia

Well...at least it's well drawn...

You have been warned.

You. Have. Been. Warned.

Is this another "Turkish Delight" ?
Maybe it's my imagination, but Turkic-language maps seem very well-represented in the realm of bad educational cartography

When you have several turkish coffees, drawing lines is hard

Admittedly this one was (rather obviously) deliberately bad.

Still if you were to try to get some education from it the results could easily be horrible after all...

What happened in Kamchatka?

Yeah, but as a work of political satire, it's pretty hilarious

It's probably from the American comic and not from the Turkish city of Batman

Hahaha! I've wondered before if the good citizens of Batman have ever tried to capitalize on that name for some additional tourism revenue... but given its location way too close to some unpleasant border situations, I'm thinking the answer is "no" ....

That is part of the reason why any education from that map would be horrible.

Australia crossing the equator? I guess the continental drift finally caught up.

Also kinda funny that they marked out the Greenwich Meridian while at the same time not depicting the British isles at all...

Keychain largely unrelated (although that Queensland thingie seems to indicate that the yellow blob between Arabia and india is also some Australia north of the equator...)

Independent Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily.

Well...it's not the worst map ever.

Spain was part of NATO and Finland was neutral so the colours are wrong there.
