Looks like a cut and paste of borders from various times, mainly current borders.
Yeah-Roman borders in North Africa, in Scandinavia it seems to be along the lines of those " limits of Norse settlement in 1 AD" maps, and modern everywhere else (and it includes Ireland for some reason).
I am not totally sure if its the best thread, but I dont think it should go in the shitpost one.

And the especially horrible thing is that at least the map above does try to keep some accuracy/detail, like some holes for the Great Lakes and the Caspian and Aral Sea (even though the latter one is mostly gone) and Africa at least touches the Arabian peninsula (not at the right spot, but at least one can somewhat deduce that that lump of metal must be Arabia)
And while the Philippines and Indonesia+New Guinea are two blobs one can at least identify which is which.
There are worse examples, for which I will only post a thumbnail (enlarge at your own risk)

Am I the only one who thinks that Asia looks like the face of an owl?
But, a really scary owl, right?
And another monster with a sheeps head and a plucked chickenbody(the Americas) is looking at it.
From Reuters today, apparently they thought the Greater Antilles look better upside down.
Maybe they’re just using a south-at-the-top projection. Just for the Antilles, though, not for anything else…From Reuters today, apparently they thought the Greater Antilles look better upside down.
