Ah yes, East Prussia. The country of East Prussia. The East Prussia that is not a part of any other country. The independent sovereign state that is called East Prussia and is given it’s very own special East Prussian color on any good map. That East Prussia. Right next to the unnamed land that must never be acknowledged that may or may not be a city state. Both bordering Poland which certainly does not have a coastline longer than 4 feet.

You need to watch the video to understand that.
However, check the final map for the true horribleness.
Well, it's near bedtime here, so I do not have the time for that.

Ah, the peninsula of Pakistan and the island of Bangladesh. That must be a new one.
Given the period they may simply have been confused about what to call it.
Better to have dropped it in the Arctic ocean.
