There are, by my count, 9 changes.
 
There are, by my count, 9 changes.
Ireland can into independence, no one stopping them now!
Stretched Crimea
Expanded Aral Sea
India is BRITISH! And ONLY British! Get fucked, Goa and all those French colonies!
The Sauds and British ate the Arabian desert up
More Aleutian Islands!
Guatermala supremacy
Arizona can into coast!
Can't find the ninth change. Can I have a hint?
EDIT: Found it. Well, at least Argentina half won the Falkland War...

Yes, and also Ireland is slightly larger. The desert is all British: I did nothing to Saudi Arabia.
 
The Greater Salt Lake and the American Sub-Directorates.
Independent Vasconia and Catalonia.
Bantustans in South Africa (does this take place in 2000 or 2022 or…?)
Independent Newfoundland & Labrador.

Also _
The bits where borders haven't changed aren't all from the same date: Serbia & Montenegro still being federated together (presumably as 'Yugoslavia'), ditto Czechia & Slovakia, and East Timor still being Indonesian, are temporally incompatible with an independent South Sudan. ..
... and Iraq having an autonomous Kurdistan at the same time that it is occupying Kuwait (as far as I can see on the scale that this laptop allows) would be another temporal incompatibility in itself

Apparently the islands north of Canada's NW Territories & Nunavaut mostly have a different, separate status?

Arizona and New Mexico are still territories, although the rest of the map is basically "modern"... and Arizona has a coast around the mouth of the Yuma River
'Yellowstone Territory'?
Argentina has all of Tierra del Fuego
There's a new nation separated off in south-eastern Brazil
Andalusia has been split in two, east & west
French Elba
independent Istria? ("Trieste"?)
Finland still [or again] has Petsamo
Is that a separate Herzegovina between Montenegro & Bosnia?
Ethiopia has a [short] coastline, between those of Djbouti & Eritrea
independent Cabinda
although various claims & disputes are shown elsewhere, Israel apparently has absorbed the West Bank & the Gaza Strip completely
Autonomy for north-eastern India
Zimbabwe & Zambia (or Southern & Northern Rhodesia?) are federated
Australia's 'Capital Territory' seems to have achieved statehood.
 
Here is my attempt at an uncanny map. Let's see if anyone can find everything wrong with it.
- Newfoundland and Labrador is an independent country, owning most of the Canadian Archipelago.
- Yukon has a small slice of British Columbia.
- Yellowstone Territory, Arizona and New Mexico (including a portion of Oklahoma) are territories aswell.
- Weird US-Mexico border.
- Brazil has a new state in the Amazon and Acre is a territory, also what is that in the center of the country.
- Southern Brazil is independent.
- The province of Mendoza is autonomous. Argentina also owns all of Tierra del Fuego.
- Did Bantustans exist in 2000?
- Zambia and Zimbabwe are a single country.
- South Sudan did not exist as of yet.
- Gabon owns a piece of the CAR which in turn took a slice off Chad.
- Nigerian Ambazonia.
- Not really sure but is that a Libyan Aozou Strip?
- Spain took half of both the Basque and Catalan Countries.
- French Saarland.
- Bosnia is weird.
- Hungary is bigger and Czechoslovakia's back.
- Russian Memel.
- Finland exchanged Petsamo for some land in the south.
- The Russian Caucasian Republics seem independent.
- Long Qatar and the Saudi-UAE border seems off.
- Eastern India and Sikkim are independent.
- Perth is now a state.

Here is my attempt at an uncanny map. Let's see if anyone can find everything wrong with it.
There is a dispute between Yunnan and Myanmar that was actually resolved in the 1960s, except only the southernmost disputed territory is shown.

There is a small new province-level division in Pukou, Jiangsu (this may be an artefact of the base map)

Nantong, Jiangsu, is part of Shanghai

Panama Canal Zone

Seminole autonomous region
