Some notes on the Uncanny Map:
New island in the Atlantic? That must have been an error.
I didn't do anything to India.
Yes, I moved Madagascar and the Maldives. I thought that one would be hard to catch.
Dang, I missed a Mediterranean island.
I think St. Petersburg is still here, or at least some parts.
Why does Japan look so weird without Sakhalin and the Kurils?
Iraqi Kurdistan isn't independent; it's water.
Ceuta Moroccan? Really?

One day, all the earth's borders somehow miraculously changed. Every reference in every book, map, computer file, and so on was altered, and all border markers and points of entry were moved miraculously. Two messages were found in an alien language, carved into Antarctica. The UN, reasoning that this could only be the work of a higher intelligence, decided that these borders must be kept for the future of the human race.
A century later, the messages were finally deciphered.
Dear Urath,
I fixed all those squiggly borders. Kept the endpoints where they were, just straightened 'em out. A couple of countries got messed up, but I'm not responsible for bad country geometry.
Couldn't do anything about the coastlines, my ocean straightener is in my other truck. I can give you quotes for it, but it's not gonna be cheap.

Dear Earth,
Sorry about the confusion, it seems I got the wrong planet by mistake, You can keep the borders, free of charge. Contact me if you want to fix those coastlines, I'll give a discount.

Bosnia: “It was bad enough the Croats took all our coastline, but this is ridiculous!”
Bangladesh: “You think you’ve got it bad? I have maybe 1/20 of my land left!”
Portugal: “Hey, anyone seen Nepal?”
