Find myself just wondering what it looks like on the hemisphere on the other side...Who knows, maybe those borders are part of the Nordstream project: Poland and Russia carve up Belorussia and Ukraine but have to restore the 1937 borders with Germany. Danzig will become the Singapore of the Baltic or something like that.

I like to think the Low Countries ended up somewhere in the Carribean, thus allowing the Surinamese in the Netherlands to keep a close connection with their homeland. Well, one of their more recent ones. Much of them originally were brought in from Indonesia and- I am over complicating things. Just imagine it though, with St. Martin as a capital for their union, or for them to all be in the EU. Almost seems like it would be fun up until El Niño and other hurricanes both sneak behind and over the dikes to flood everything. That fresh water inner sea they worked so hard to make will turn into a mosquito pond. Or just be the main source f drinking water for the country. Weird the map labels West Bank, though considering it is one of the more lush part of Israel and Palestine, it makes sense.Not to mention the peninsula drift!

Also note that the Low Countries are beyond sea-level low. Although I'm slighty disappointed that the map maker didn't fudge up Kaliningrad (One of the minimum requirements for a PhD in bad mapmaking)
considering general wraparound, it's probably mostly land. this angle is like if we're looking at a hemisphere with the entire Pacific visible at onceFind myself just wondering what it looks like on the hemisphere on the other side...
Idk about the others, but I know the Afghan panhandle isn't supposed to be there.
Amazing how the Safavid's borders nearly perfectly followed modern borders
In the east definitely, in the North, doesn't really look like it. Especially in the Northwest, that slight touch on the Black Sea looks event smaller than the Georgian Coast without Abkhazia.

I mean the modern day Turkmenistan border and the north border of Azerbaijan are definitely there.In the east definitely, in the North, doesn't really look like it. Especially in the Northwest, that slight touch on the Black Sea looks event smaller than the Georgian Coast without Abkhazia.
Now this is obviously from a game so it is not educational anyways (and technically depending on how a match plays out this could be true for the in-game world)
Still, when you see "Russia 1914" you don't expect this:

(Bonus points for when you look closely you'll notice that what would be the Kaliningrad enclave in our world is obviously submerged)

Who says games can’t be educational? Mobile trash? Obviously not. But a proper desktop game? You could learn a lot, depending on the format.Now this is obviously from a game so it is not educational anyways
Made all the worse by the colors having no rhyme or reason. I keep automatically thinking “Swedish Africa” with that blue.[maps]
That is.... Damn near indescribable... indescribably bad, that is...Now to Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
It has an Air Museum, which by then means that the following map is meant to be educational.

And if you think the Pacific Theatre was already bad, you haven't seen their take on Europe and Africa:

South America is also screwy with the Amazon shrunken...Now to Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Apartheid was so violent in South Africa that they managed to deform the continent.
On the upside, they got the borders of Germany nearly correct in all pictures (okay they forgot the Saar region in several maps and in the 1942 one they forgot that the Nazis also had annexed Luxembourg and to flat-out count the General Government as part of Germany is a bit odd but we had much worse maps in this thread), just don't look at any other borders.

Dammit! I told you not to look at other borders!
My God.... the more you look, the more screwed-up shit you can find.... especially if you glance at the dates... it's... it's... random-access borders world!On the upside, they got the borders of Germany nearly correct in all pictures (okay they forgot the Saar region in several maps and in the 1942 one they forgot that the Nazis also had annexed Luxembourg and to flat-out count the General Government as part of Germany is a bit odd but we had much worse maps in this thread), just don't look at any other borders.
